NELLIS   HOMESTEAD/TAVERN   RESTORATION
(Route 5, just east of St. Johnsville, NY)

The "Palatine Settlement Society, Inc." has undertaken the project of restoring the 1747 Nellis Tavern. 


A great amount of work has already been completed, and many functions are now conducted there 
during the Spring, Summer, and Fall months of the year.

New in 2007, we have had a new shingle roof put on to replace the 120-year-old slate roof.
In addition, so far, we have installed plaster-board ceilings on the entire second floor.  Now
one can no longer look up through the ceiling lathe and see the sunlight through the roof.  
The old building is already much cozier and comfortable.  
Next we'll work at completing some interior walls and painting the exterior ones.




The two photos below will give you a perspective on our project.
