>>check and see. Since the estimated cost of an elevator to the carriage >>house(plans to use the Trotter office as a focal point for a country store >>setting)are $l6,000 thereabouts.....I am sure they could use the money. >Hi, Beth, I think I missed the original post...which carriage house is >this? Is it the Drew Co. Historical Society who is funding this project? This is the carriage house out behind the museum/aka garage w/upstairs apt. They want to make the upstairs into something akin to a country store. The Trotters donated the office area of the old Trotter store to the museum; in fact, they have even offered to donate a couple of thousand more for some of the alterations necessary to get the office upstairs....such as double doors, etc. however, our real dilemma is the fact that elderly and handicapped people cannot get upstairs, and the least expensive elevator/lift has been $l6,000..... Now, you need to send your private address so that I can make sure that the ladies at the museum know how to send you your journal. Yes, if the project gets off its feet, it will be the Museum/Archives.....actually all in one. There is a museum board....historical society.....archives.....but the Historical Society does the funding for all.......the Museum Board is simply that ..... a board over basically all of the above......Every part works together for the whole.
