I am posting this for a friend not on the list: They have just learned of a mid-1800s era home that will be coming to their Museum as a gift. The home is in good shape but has been up dated twice in the past. The goal is to bring the home back to its origional appearance. Of course, there is no funding. This home is in an area where there are almost no historic structures left--this is one of maybe two left in the area. Questions: 1) What steps does one take to have a home placed on the national register? What are the advantages to this? 2) Are there any granting agencies / foundations specifically aimed at helping to raise money for such projects? 3) What set backs or mistakes have any of you encountered in such a project that you would undo if possible? 4) Any other advice? Thanks. John Handley
