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,

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
