HHS completes Jean Hasbrouck House
wall and reaches fundraising goal!
From HHS
Director Eric Roth:
The masonry
is complete and the restoration crew is at the end
of their phase of the project. The project's structural
engineer, Dave Biggs, has given his approval and
is very pleased with DeBrino Caulking & Associates,
the firm contracted to perform the work. The only
remaining exterior work is to install the glass
in the window frames. As we complete exterior work,
we are beginning interior restoration and the development
of new furnishings and education plans. These
plans will be developed over the next year in preparation
for a reopening of the house in May 2008. Thanks
to the family associations, our members, and numerous
other contributors, we have reached our fundraising
goal of $250,000 to match the National Park Service's
Save America's Treasures Grant.
