Tim Goodwin / Insider staffThe Yellow House at Kimball-Jenkins Estate is getting a fresh coat of paint thanks to a fundraising campaign that kicked off last month. The price tag for the project stands at $50,000 for lead paint removal, scraping, priming and painting of the building, along with repairing/replacing and painting the 98 green shutters. Ben Ainslie Painting is taking care of the work, which is expected to take another three weeks. The paint and primer will be flowing with 8,000 square feet of painting surface to cover. Of the $50,000 price tag, more than $15,000 has been raised so far. Top left: Ian McGrath (left) and Brad Buttrick work on priming two of the walls. Top right: McGrath uses a roller to get those hard-to-reach spots. Bottom right: Just look at how different the color is. And yes, the original paint was yellow, but over the years it turned a peachy color.
