The total cost of this project is $72,750 &#8211; substantial, but necessary to protect this important landmark. A program of sponsorships and gifts have been established in the hope that members of the community will want to support the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">$7,000 \u2014 Full Window Sponsorship: Includes a personalized plaque placed at the window you sponsor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">$3,500 \u2014 Window Co-Sponsorship: Includes a shared plaque with you and your co-sponsor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">And while the stained-glass restoration is by far the largest undertaking, there are also several ongoing needs that help maintain the historic spaces:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">$4,500 \u2014 Replacement of the air-conditioning unit in the Land Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Maintaining a controlled environment is vital to the preservation of documents<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">and artifacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">$1,000 \u2014 Repair of the St. Paul\u2019s entrance door to keep the building secure<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">$75 \u2014 One month of utilities for the Land Office and St. Paul\u2019s<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">As a completely volunteer-run historical society, the generosity of the community is vital.
