Programs: The organization was successfully in its efforts to apply for a grant to restore a cemetery that is located on the historic hull house property. The cemetery is the burial site of several hull family members. The grant was awarded from the national chapter of the dar (daughters o the american revolution) and is restricted for cemetery conservation. Actual conservation work will commence in 2015.
following many long years of interior restoration work, the organization passed a milestone by announcing completion of substantially all interior restoration, including all plastering. Only some interior wall, ceiling, and floor finishes remain to be completed. The final steps of interior lighting and hardware fixtures are yet to be completed but are expected to be acquired in 2015.
