Saugatuck Village Hall

Drawing
Ink on paper drawing of the old Saugatuck Village Hall. It displays the front of the building with sparse landscape on the sides. This image depicts how the village hall appeared before its remodeling, complete with large double doors for the fire trucks to pass through from when the Hall was also used by the fire department. In the lower right corner is the signature "Jim Van Oss 91." There is a white cardboard frame that the drawing has been taped to. This was done to help support the image in its original frame.

Good

While the image itself appears to have little to no deterioration, the cardboard frame does show some bleaching at the corners. The bleaching is most likely from exposure to bright light for long periods of time. There are also several small, tan stains along the front of the frame. But the cause is unknown. The tape that is holding the image to the frame is severely deteriorated and has gone completely yellow. The adhesive is still working, however, so it can't be removed from the image yet without the possibility of damaging the drawing. It would be best to remove this frame, if possible, in the future to prevent further damage from the tape.
