Restoration Plans and Funding.
Restoration of the well will include
repointing of the interior and exterior brickwork;
elevating the
viewing deck; installing new glass viewing panels; replacing
exterior and interior lighting; and adding directive and
interpretive signage.
Fundraising is in progress to support the restoration project. To date,
generous donations and grant funds have been received from:
*Individual contributors
*Gadsby’s Tavern Museum Society
*Save America’s Treasures
*Roller-Bottimore Foundation
*1772 Foundation
*National Trust for Historic
Preservation
*Historic Alexandria Foundation
*Alexandria Association
The project has also benefited from a 2007 General
Assembly grant (administered by DHR). The goal is to complete the restoration by
2012.
