Historic Preservation

Historic preservation is an endeavor that seeks to preserve, conserve and protect buildings and other artifacts of historical significance.

A primary objective of Northern Lights Restoration is to ensure the preservation and protection of the distinct characteristics of historic buildings and places throughout the United States. We believe that the protection of historic locations and artifacts not only preserves an irreplaceable resource, but is also cost-effective for the institution and environmentally responsible.

Historical establishments serve as reminders of the past. This is one of the reasons preserving historical buildings is important and Northern Lights Restoration is proud to help restore and preserve historical landmarks for you, your organization, or your business.

"As the Chief Clerk of Broome County Supreme and County Court, I was a member of the project team for the restoration of one of our Courtrooms which was originally dedicated on November 12, 1898. Northern Lights was a key organization in this outstanding project. Your work was flawless and your representatives were professional. I am sure you are as proud of your work as we are with the outcome of this project."

"I have been operating Historical Hotels for the past 38 years and have always had a need to have a company refinish our antiques and woodworking. The traditional refinishing companies you see in hotel trade publications are used to finishing Holiday Inn Express, Motel 6 and similar lodging properties’, "case goods” not antiques. We who own and operate Historical Hotels do not have “case goods” but rather antiques and fine furniture. Bob Stephens and Northern Lights Restoration is the only company I have been able to find that does fine woodworking and antique refinishing. Bob and his company have developed a technique that is unique, quite, without odor and works well on antiques and historical woodworking. If you have a Historical Hotel and have a substantial investment in antiques and woodworking’s you want Bob Stephens and Northern Lights Restoration to restore the same. We first tried Northern Lights Restoration on our original lobby furniture. That project was so successful we hired them back to do all the guest room antiques and wood working. We will be bringing them back to complete our hallway wainscotings, baseboards and door jams.

If you have an investment in fine furniture, antiques and woodworking it would be wise to talk to Bob Stephens on how he can help you protect that investment. Feel free to call me if you have any questions, 707 923-2124 Ex. 180."

Kindest Regards,

"We recently had all of the case goods here at the Hawthorne Hotel refinished by Bob Stephens and his team at Northern Lights Restoration. Our association with Historic Hotels of America was key in making this connection.

They did an outstanding job and we are so happy to have found this excellent company. They refinished nearly 700 pieces of furniture, as well as handled refinishing our bar in Nathaniel’s Restaurant, and the beautiful cherry front desk in our lobby.

We are very pleased with the results of this work. They were swift, quiet, non-obtrusive and easy to work with - a very professional organization. They even handled the add-on pieces of work we gave them at the last minute without hesitation or complaint.

I have worked with other on-site refinishing companies in the past, and I have to say that Northern Lights was far and away a better choice."

Sincerely,
Juli LederHaus
