December, 2015

2015/12/17 15:25:05

December, 2015 – What an amazing year we’ve had. Twelve months ago the house had just been moved aside and was perched, sagging & forlorn, on cribbing. All of the Phase 1 work awaited. Today the house is neat as a pin and completely stabilized on a formidable new drilled-to-bedrock foundation. The site is improved, with historic views restored and all ten heritage oaks in stunning shape thanks to a full Class I pruning. The schematic architectural & landscape design of the overall project is done and it’s fabulous! And our application for a subject historical marker for the Norwood Estate has been approved at the county level.

Those are just the highlights, and we want to THANK everyone who has donated time, money and effort to the Norwood project! We are well-positioned now to launch the capital campaign that will finally finish the job of restoring & repurposing this incredible public asset. Our sincere appreciation to all the friends of Norwood, Happy Holidays, and here’s to Phase 2 construction in 2016!
