Hill-Physick Roof Replacement 2019
2023 Capital Campaign
As a non-profit organization, we rely on donors to help us restore and preserve our four exceptional historic houses for generations to come.
Over the last several years, we have successfully raised over one million dollars to execute substantial projects at our two city houses and Historic Waynesborough. For Powel House, we replaced the asphalt shingle roof with a standing seam copper roof, rebuilt the dormers, repointing the front facade, and restored the front windows and shutters. For Hill-Physick House, we replaced the roof with a standing seam copper roof.
Upcoming projects in our 2023—’24 Campaign include critical work at Waynesborough —replacing the roof, stabilizing the main attic and porch roofs, and re-pointing the chimneys. And at Grumblethorpe — replacing the roof, repointing the stonework, restoring and replacing the wood exteriors.
We recognize substantial donors in our communications and on our website. Donors at our highest levels are acknowledged with on-site plaques and markers.
