Saving the Mansion House

Preservation in Action:

The Phase 2 Preservation Project “Saving the Mansion House: Public Access and Roof Repairs” will repair the iconic front porch, replace leaky roofs, build an accessible ramp for year-round use, repair brick facades, and add gutters to mitigate the damage caused by water, snow and ice.

Your donation will help unlock a $500,000 NYS REDC Preservation Grant funding for Phase 2

Thanks to generous support, OCMH is wrapping up Phase 1 of a critical and unprecedented historic preservation initiative-- a 10-year, multi-phase, $10 million plan to preserve and protect the Mansion House.
