We're in the process of repairing and updating our 190 year-old building, to include: brick grouting, buttress reconstruction, windows and the front portico. The interior is on the list. We also have an architect and structural engineer on the job too - for the foundation and other details. We'd like to thank everyone that has contributed to help make this happen - with more to come!
