Your Help

The “Coin” Harvey House Preservation group is preparing to submit an application for a West Virginia Preservation Grant for funds for the preservation of historic home.

If work is not undertaken at once, the house could be destroyed by the elements and vandalism. We currently have a resident caretaker and a security system to help preserve the home. To see pictures of the current state of the house, click here.

How a Letter from You Can Help

The Kaiser-Gerlach Family has donated the house to our charitable, tax- exempt Foundation. However, there are little funds to preserve or maintain it. The grant application requests letters of community support and interest from governmental, public, and private sources (the more the better). We are asking all interested parties to please prepare a letter of support that we can attach to our application.

You can return this letter of support via e-mail, US Postal, or call me (304.525.5910) and one of our volunteers will pick it up. We even have a sample of a letter here online that you can edit and send. To see it, click the button at the left or just Click here.
