av¸£ÀûÉç

The Society of Architectural Historians is pleased to announce that we raised $7,370 on Giving Tuesday, which will be matched dollar for dollar for a grand total of $14,740.

The Board of Directors and staff of the Society of Architectural Historians and the Board of Directors of Charnley-Persky House are grateful to everyone who made a Giving Tuesday contribution, including two CPH board members who made the $10,000 matching gift. These funds will greatly assist us in replacing the aging furnace in Charnley-Persky House and preserving the structure of the house.

Replacing Charnley-Persky House's aged and inefficient furnace is one of the top priorities identified in the , completed last fall to assess the structure and guide av¸£ÀûÉç in planned maintenance and restoration of the house. av¸£ÀûÉç will be installing two high-efficiency furnaces to provide backup capability in the event one should fail. Replacing the furnace will help prevent the risk of flooding from frozen, broken pipes in the circulating hot-water heating system.

As the steward of this National Historic Landmark, av¸£ÀûÉç strives to maintain Charnley-Persky House to endure for future generations. The gifts made on Giving Tuesday will have a big impact in helping us do just that
