Historic Building Restored
This building is the center of our village, a historic treasure that brings us together," said Brian M. Cavey, president of Glencarlyn Citizens Association, describing the 120-year-old Carlin Hall on 4th Street, South, Arlington. Owned and maintained by the county, but managed by the association, a major restoration was accomplished over the past year. Initially, the plan was to replace siding and woodwork and to do some painting. Opening various structural elements disclosed much more effort was required. Foundation mortar had disintegrated into sand, attic rafters supporting the roof had warped and the crowning cupola was atilt and in danger of toppling.
