TENAFLY The monument honoring the 26th president of the United States will be getting a makeover starting this summer.
The Theodore Roosevelt Monument on Riveredge Road will be restored after years of damage inflicted by the elements and by acts of vandalism.
Karen Neus, chair of the Tenafly Historic Preservation Commission, said a Westchester-based professional stone carver and sculptor, Bob Carpenter, will do the restoration work on the Indiana limestone sculpture, which has been a fixture in town since 1928.
New decorative lighting spotlighting the monument will be installed by Focus Lighting, based in New York City. I am very excited that we re getting to the point of initiating the project, Neus said. Of course, over time, things that are outside in the weather need maintenance and upkeep.
