Francis Keegan, Ron Crawley and Rufus Tom pealed back layers of Sedona history while carefully dismantling the eastern wall of the Art Barn. The trio works for Loven Contracting, the Flagstaff firm responsible for rehabilitating the Sedona Arts Center’s historic building.

The Art Barn was once the Jordan Apple Packing Shed before being purchased in 1958 by the organization that would eventually become the Sedona Arts Center. When it’s finished, the wall won’t look modern. It will instead reflect its historic significance.

“It won’t look new,” Sedona Arts Center Executive Director Pam Frazier said. “It will look somewhat aged, but it will be more solid.”
