Good News! We just received word that our proposal for $48,500 to the Mass. Historical Commission was selected for funding. This is a matching grant and will be used to repair, re-point and clean the exterior masonry on the Edgell Memorial Library. The funding comes from the Massachusetts Preservation Projects Fund and is highly competitive. We are extremely pleased to have been chosen for this funding as we work to restore Framingham’s Civil War memorial especially with the 150th anniversary of the war fast approaching in April, 2011.
Repairs will include filling this space with the missing stone which we have in our basement.
And repairing this cracked masonry on the east side of the building
And cleaning the locally quarried stone…
Stay tuned for matching grant initiatives and construction progress!

Any updates on plans for the house? Having a familial connection to Sarah Clayes, I am heart-broken each time I drive by…which is often.
