What's New and On-Going at the McDonough County Historic Preservation Society?

Fundraiser for the Old Bailey House

 

Like many historic structures, the Old Bailey House has required  maintenance and tender loving care through its long life.  Over the years, much has been done: 

  • exterior painting
  • roof replacement
  • plumbing  and electrical improvements

 

However, one area that has not been renovated is the heating and cooling plant.  Considering the high cost of energy and the age of the system (30 years old) the Board feels it is necessary to replace the main floor's equipment.  The estimated cost of the new heat pump is $6,000. 

 

We ask for your assistance in making it possible to purchase a new heat pump.
