The Historical Society's Research Center building exterior has held up well, but upkeep is a never-ending responsibility. The building now sports fresh paint, and extensive work to the wooden exterior columns has been completed recently. However, two recent inspections of the building's roof and gutters found that while our roofing is serviceable over the next several years, the gutters need significant work in the near term.

After comparing bids, the best balance of cost vs. benefits is replacing the front gutters with the same style currently installed and repairing the rear gutter. To balance urgency and budget, the approach agreed upon by our Board is to fund-raise this summer and execute the work in early 2025, as this expense is outside our normal operating funds.

The project is anticipated to cost $5500, including a 40% contingency for materials/labor, inflation, and possible hidden damage around the rear gutter.
