Graphics-Central-Test2Bsign1 PLENTY OF PROJECTS NEEDING SPECIALIZED VOLUNTEER HELP

An example is our exterior. The photo above, hand-tinted, is what it originally looked like when it was built in 1900 as the telephone exchange. This exterior has been hidden for decades behind a rather ugly 70s era facade, but what you see above is still there. We want to uncover it, restore it, add an elevator for disabled access. We will need at least $150,000. Below is what it looks like today.
