The Need: The Old Pathology Building in Danger The cost of this urgently needed restoration and repair work is estimated to be $2,200,000. The work will be completed in three stages. The "gutters & up" portion was completed in 2015, and we plan to complete the rest of the exterior phase this year. |
The Old Pathology Building has survived 120 years with its original furnishings and equipment intact. Help us ensure the future of this historical gem! |
