The Phillips Free Library in Homer, New York, will repair damages to a historically significant oil portrait and frame of Eli Carpenter painted in 1843 by Sanford Thayer, who was both a locally celebrated portrait artist and teacher of some renown in the community. The conservation measures will allow the portrait to remain on exhibit in the library.
