The project scope encompasses three primary preservation activities: remediation of drainage issues, masonry repair, and window restoration. The award is structured as a matching grant requiring dollar-for-dollar non-federal match contributions, which may be provided as cash or documented in-kind services. Project completion is scheduled for April 30, 2029.
