Photo by Edith Tucker Meeting House restoration hits a snag Stuart Hotchkiss, left, owner-operator of Hotchkiss Construction of Jefferson, and Norman Bartlett of Stratford, who has worked for Hotchkiss since 2008, are restoring the historic Meeting House on Route 3 in Northumberland near the Lancaster town line. Hotchkiss agreed to do the work on an itemized basis when the total bid package came in consider- ably higher than the grant money available. As can be seen, Brenda Hotchkiss has finished restoring the signs, and she had nearly completed restoring all the windows. The small construction company has pledged to the selectmen that the work would be completed by Labor Day. Unfortunately, Stuart Hotchkiss said that he and Bartlett have discovered that the sills should be replaced in the near future.
