The short term impact was a completed nomination form for the Sperry House. That was successful.
The intermediate term impact was to get listed on the National Register of Historic Places. That will be determined later this year at the State Review Board meeting.
The long term impact was to use the designation in outreach and fundraising efforts as well as to help address needs for the structure of the Sperry House. This impact will have to wait until the determination of the designation is final.
