They are having a difficult time finding a way to restore this beautiful old house (it will cost a lot more than they anticipated). I thought of contacting This Old House, but even with them you have to pay the construction costs. The "Historic Treasures of America" funds public property only, apparently. Does anyone know of any funding sources or other ideas that will help save this house? Thanks in advance.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> -----
