Reroofing the Boal Mansion
Architect provides the estimate.
How much will it cost you ask? ..."Lots!"
When will it happen? ... As soon as we get "Lots."

The same architect who sketched out the long-range vision for a new museum building has now given the Museum the estimate for a much more short-term issue –a new roof for the main part of the Boal Mansion building.
The old, asphalt shingle roof is over thirty-years old and numerous leaks threaten both the integrity of the building and of the collection within.
Following the recommendation of the Architectural Conservation Plan done by Dale Frens, AIA, of West Chester, the project calls for a standing seam roof that will protect the building and its contents for many years.
While the Museum has saved up some from its annual operations, that amount is not nearly enough for a project of this importance, so museum volunteer Andrea Harman has prepared grant applications for a number of organizations.
Individual and organizational donors are also now requested via this page to come forward to help with funding for this essential project. Can you help? Send an email to [email protected] expressing your interest in the future of our past and we will be in touch!
