Gray
Building Update
August 30, 2004 Annie Gould September 1st, 2004 was not only the first day of school but also the first day of business for the Gray Building. Wednesday was moving day for the four tenants who are renting the first floor classrooms: A Step Above Dance Studio, Headstart, The Northfield Boys & Girls Club and White Pines Middle School program. The building smells of new wood and fresh paint with each of the first floor classrooms painted a soft yellow with restored slate or painted blackboards. The classroom floors have been stained a dark mahogany to match the wainscoting and chalk trays. The new maple flooring in the hallway shows off the sage green walls and the new oak double staircases. The Coalition has now finished Phase I of the restoration project. We have stabilized the building, restored the first floor and returned the building to community use. Phase II will complete the renovation by restoring the second floor, painting the exterior and finishing the landscaping. The Coalition has successfully raised over $900,000 towards a goal of $1.3 million. We will continue to fundraise and plan to finish Phase II by September 2005. Please join us for an Open House on Sunday, Sept 26th, 1:30 to celebrate the completion of Phase I. We hope to see you there. |
