Amador County - On the morning of Monday, August 9th, at invitation of the Amador County Historical Society and with the concurrence of Lee Anne McIntyre, the General Services Administration director proceeding over the Amador County Museum, two representatives from Reyman Brothers, a Nevada-based general contracting firm, will travel to the gold country to inspect the Amador County Museum, located at 225 Church St., and the purported structural weaknesses associated with the building. Also on the agenda Monday morning will be a tour of the courthouse, and if time permits, an inspection of the Kennedy Wheel 4. The firm is noted for its work in historical preservation, renovation, and preservation projects with past structures including the Kennedy Mine Tailing Wheel in Jackson in June of 2001, the Leland Stanford Mansion in Sacramento. Piper’s Opera House in Virginia City, Nevada as well as The Eureka County Courthouse located in Eureka, Nevada. The firm is known for their attention to detail on projects while drawing from a multitude of sources including old photographs, drawings and drafts, and personal diary entries and consulting with their clients, engineers, historians, and architects to properly replicate the authenticity of its structures. The Reyman Brothers have agreed to provide their consultative services and expertise to the Amador County Historical Society gratis. The Amador County Museum has been closed to the public since 2008 after the county defunded the property for financial and other miscellaneous reasons. Earlier this summer county supervisors and the Amador county historical society came together and signed a five year agreement allowing the society to not only “manage the museum and grounds” but also specifically authorizing the group to proceed with the disability modifications needed to reopen the out-building mining exhibit. Although the historical society is now able to proceed with the ADA modifications, provisions in the agreement stipulate that the county must approve any plans before work begins, and the society must provide for the upgrades or otherwise raise the funds necessary for the modifications.
