Hanover Inn undergoes touch-ups

Lauren Wool / The Dartmouth Senior Staff Main Street passersby will notice this week that the familiar sight of the Hanover Inn has recently been obscured by scaffolds extending to the hotel's roof. The current round of renovations is just routine maintenance, according to Hanover Inn General Manager Carl Pratt, and will include general repairs on the roof, new copper on the dormers and possibly some paint touch-ups. "It's basically just repair, and wear and tear," Pratt said. The extent of repair, however, is still being negotiated. "At this point we are looking at renovations of the inn and reviewing what the needs are," Pratt said. Pratt explained that the roof and dormers will be completed by the end of April, should weather conditions be suitable to the work.
