CPA Projects – Detailed Report

The funding will be used to restore broken historic Minton floor tiles in the main hall of the building, restore damaged walls and replicate an historic stenciled border on main hall walls, and restore damaged walls in the director’s office, which will eventually become exhibit space. Project funds will also be used for the CPC to hire to an independent historic preservation consultant to ensure that the rehabilitation and restoration will be done in compliance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Structures.  Funding will also pay for structural engineering review of the main hall floor. This site is in the State MACRIS database and on the National Register of Historic Places.  This work will address a long-standing need to preserve this historic resource and will help facilitate better use of this space to educate more in the community about Framingham’s history.
