LAHS News:

With the completion of the first section of demolition, the creation of a 20-inch crawl space in the living room, and the Holidays, the Oppenheimer House renovation project has entered into a brief pause.

During this time, the Los Alamos Historical Society’s (LAHS) team of experts has carefully evaluated the newly exposed conditions and developed a detailed plan for the next steps.

After the new year, the team will complete the remaining demolition and begin reconstructing the foundation, along with the floor joists and supporting beams.

The Los Alamos Historical Society will continue to provide email updates in the new year as work progresses on the Oppenheimer House.

“From all of us at the Los Alamos Historical Society, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.”
