Restoration Updates

Joplin Historical Neighborhoods (JHN) announced the start of the slate roof reconstruction at a media visit day on Wednesday, September 19, 2018 at the JHN worksite in Joplin.

As many of you may know, we are working on a project in Joplin, MO, on the restoration of two (and maybe three) homes in the Murphysburg Historic District of Joplin. 

Demolition too often suggests detonation or a complete reversal of what has been constructed—destruction.

In the spirit of opening windows and taking in a breath of fresh air, seeing through both sides of the window pane, and the lost art of looking up at buildings, architecture has the power to positively influence the way we live and contribute to a better quality of life.
