2016 Project: Facade Repair
This is an extensive and expensive restoration and preservation of the building's facade that is crucial for safety, security and energy efficiency.
We are currently seeking grants and donations, public and private, for this project. We have discovered a rusted support beam which will require professional expertise to repair before any beautification efforts can take place.
We accept original art work donations for sale in our gift shop.
Receipts for donations can be provided upon request.
