Hereford Voice Posted October 2 Report Posted October 2 Specialist conservation work on the exterior of the iconic Black and White House Museum in Hereford has been completed a month ahead of schedule. The Grade I listed timber-framed building, dating back to 1621, is one of the county's most treasured heritage sites. Originally built as a butcher's home, the building has served as a museum since 1929, offering visitors a glimpse into 17th-century life. Despite the ongoing restoration, the museum has remained open to the public, ensuring minimal disruption to its visitors. The project, which focused on repairing and conserving the historic exterior, was due to be completed by the end of October but has been completed ahead of time, allowing the building to be fully enjoyed in the coming months. The work was carefully timed to coincide with the summer months, ensuring that the materials used in the repairs could set properly.
