The desired results were to have a blueprint and cost estimate for the long term preservation of the historic railroad platform canopies at the Lake Superior Railroad Museum. The information will be used for larger grants and fundraising to accomplish the goal of permanent restoration.
The final report covered all aspects of what we need to proceed with future fundraising. The targets were achieved and the use of two extremely professional and respected firms, approved the building's owner, St. Louis County, made this possible.
We are very pleased with the results.
