Window Work and Fundraising For 2021

kallenNovember 2, 2015April 28, 2023

Thank you for funding window replacement! Your support has been a huge success, and we are down to 20 windows to replace!

The structural work and framing in the storefront are completed, including new windows on the street side!
Our next goal for window replacement is the north side and mezzanine levels. As these are funded, we will move to the west side of the building.

We will continue fundraising for windows in the building. Your generous contributions make a difference. We still have approximately 20 windows in need of replacement.

Hotel Lincoln is getting a major improvement! First project this spring is the restoration of the parapet walls on the north, south and east side of the building. This photo shows where work has started. The four sections on the top left of the building are in process.

In this photo, you can see the rebuilding of some of the many chimneys which originally were for the in-room coal stoves.
