brand with goals and mission, research the Indiantown area including the African, Native and Colonial stories, and raise enough money to begin the restoration of the brick house at Handsell. \u00a0Through all this, we have had to do the archaeology ($20,000) and engineering ($18,000) required by the Maryland Historic Trust before we could begin ANY work on the house! \u00a0Not to mention getting the house listed on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.loc.gov\/pictures\/item\/md1844\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">National Register of Historic Places A<\/a>ND the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.loc.gov\/item\/md1844\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Historic American Buildings Survey<\/a>\u00a0 (no, sometimes we don&#8217;t sleep).<\/p>\n<p><strong>It is important to note that the Board of Trustees has adopted a &#8220;Preservation Philosophy&#8221; for Handsell.\u00a0 In this we ask two questions before doing any work on the structure:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> 1)\u00a0 Is this something that must be done to prevent further deterioration to the house&#8221;, and <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>2) Must this work be done for the safety of our visitors and volunteers?\u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>If the answer to either question is YES, then we proceed.\u00a0 Otherwise, we intend to keep the house to &#8220;as close as we found it&#8221; as possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After five years of fundraising, NHPA finally declared\u00a0<strong>2015 &#8220;The Year of the House&#8221;<\/strong> and moved forward with the critical structural support of the house by rebuilding the basement fireplace and chimney stack above that was an important structural component to the entire western gable wall. \u00a0 Once that this was complete, all other brick repairs continued on the exterior of the house thanks to Mid Shore Community Foundation, the Nathan Foundation and a MHAA grant.\u00a0 \u00a0We successfully had ALL the exterior brick repairs complete by the end of 2015.<\/p>\n<p>All of 2016 was focused on the &#8220;Handsell Roof Project&#8221; and with it brought a new cedar roof \u00a0and rebuilt dormers and dormer windows thanks to the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Bartus Trew grant. \u00a0Total cost of this important repair was $76,000 and almost completely depleted the Handsell Restoration Fund.<\/p>\n<p>2017 was a year for rebuilding the Restoration Fund, sprucing up anything we could do as volunteers, grant writing, caring for our newly planted trees and more research.\u00a0 The fund grew after a successful Summer Soiree fundraiser ($10,000) to go toward installing historically accurate windows.\u00a0 The Handsell Window Project was fully funded thanks to support from the Mid Shore Community Fund, Preservation Maryland, Nathan Foundation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.restorehandsell.org\/?page_id=643\">and others.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Next we moved on to the most expensive undertaking to date, $113,000 for the Handsell Entryway Project.\u00a0 Phase I included all basement repairs, new entry steps and Kitchen door.\u00a0 Funded by an MHAA grant, MSCF, Nathan Foundation and our own Soiree funds, this work was completed by the spring of 2020 at which time we launched the exterior front restorations, the Handsell Entryway Project: Phase II.<\/p>\n<p>Phase II of the Entryway Project included the restoration of the front double door and the addition of a replica front porch, based on architectural evidence in the brick work, archaeology to find the original piers and appropriate design for the period of the rebuild of 1837.\u00a0 This again, was accomplished thanks to Preservation Maryland, MHAA and Nathan Foundation grants and completed in the fall of
