The Near Term

We have now completed the exterior work funded by the National Trust grant. We are currently applying for grants and donations to cover the following projects:

  • Pour new concrete floor after installing below-grade plumbing supply and drain lines
  • Frame-in bathrooms, catering kitchen, storage areas; frame-in and insulate basement walls
  • Install drywall in the basement
  • Construct new interior staircase from basement to main floor
  • Electrify the original large chandelier and reinstall it with a hoist; reinstall original wall sconces; add related electrical wiring.

If funded, these projects will move us toward completing our Stage 2 project goals:

  1. Basement is ready as a meeting room with public restrooms and catering kitchen.
  2. The Foundation can host public events on the grounds.

We estimate that this stage will cost approximately $150,000.
