On Feb 27, the Shepherd University Student Government Association and student volunteers worked on taking out furniture in the Little House to begin the process of removing lead paint from its walls.
“Hopefully the Little House will be open again later this Spring. We’re aiming for April,” said SGA Communications Director Joanna Schoonover.
The team of both students and staff worked on removing the furniture, assessing it for future use, and making sure the interior of the house was clean. The furniture of the Little House is being stored in the basement of Eric’s accounting firm, CMI2, previously the old HR Building.
