Upon entering through the front door (which is original by the way) of this historic home you would immediately be stunned by the size and beauty of the pair of pocket doors to your left. The measure 55" wide and 128" tall each and at 2.5" thick they have a combined weight of over 400lbs! They have not been functional in quite a while. It appears that someone had done some repair work to the side of the left panel at one time and in the process had neglected to properly reinstall the the track hardware. We are going to take a little time to clean up the track system and secure it properly to the two doors. These two historic items are a focal point of the home and it would be a shame not be able to make them gracefully glide with ease.
