Inquiry

We are applying for a credit interpretation regarding building re-use. In order for The French Wing to be built, an existing 100 yr-old farmhouse (the first building on the SPNHF property) had to either 1. be destroyed 2. be relocated SPNHF opted to relocate the building to preserve the heritage of the site, to increase the life cycle of the building, and to preserve the structure, thereby alleviating the need to build another structure. This was not the most economical choice, but SPNHF felt that it was important enough that they followed through on it
