Area buildings receive
preservation funds
MONTPELIER--Historic buildings in
Chelsea, Fairlee and Mclndoe Falls are
among the community buildings in 17
Vermont towns that will receive
matching preservation grants in 2014
from the Vermont Division for Historic
Preservation and the Advisory Council
on Historic Preservation. The total
amount of all the grants, which will be
used to restore and maintain the
historically significant buildings, is
$257,404.
In Chelsea, the Orange County
Courthouse has served as a courthouse
since it was constructed in 1847. The
Greek Revival style courthouse was built
by local master Horace Carpenter. The
grant funds will contribute toward the
cost of work in the bell tower, which
includes re-gilding the copper dome.
Fairlee's Town Hall, built in 1914,
has been continuously used for a century
as a community center, but use of the
second floor auditorium was discontin-
ued in 1986 due to safety and
accessibility requirements. The grant will
help provide for structural repairs to the
building that will allow the auditorium to
be used once again for public functions.
In Caledonia County, the 1850
McIndoe Falls Congregational Church
continues to be used as a church and also
hosts various community meetings and
events. The grant funds will allow the
church to restore three of the building's
original 20 over 20 double-hung
windows.
