The Connecticut Trust for Historic Preservation is accepting bids through Feb. 11 for painting of the 1827 Eli Whitney boarding house, a clapboard historic building that currently functions as the office of the Trust for Historic Preservation. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for Jan. 28.

The boarding house is the only surviving residential structure of the industrial village clustered around Eli Whitney’s Armory along the Mill River. It was here that Whitney made rifles for the U.S. Government in the early 19th century, according to the Trust website.

The project scope includes painting of siding with flat latex paint and painting of trim, windows and doors with “partial-gloss” latex, with the specific gloss level to be determined by the owner and architect. Also included is sealing of oak thresholds. The existing paint is presumed to contain lead.
