Looking for historic grant money

Hello

I recently purchased a historic building and I am trying to find grant money to rehabilitate the historic components of the project. I have already been granted some money from the community preservation committee from the local municipality, however I want to see if there are any other funds I could apply for.

Thank you

 Hi Rich,

These old time restorations really make the building special.

Can we see a pic of it now, as work happens on it and a finished pic (I'm sure you will have a lot of pride of ownership with this).

Also if you need to do A/C you might want to hide them in plain sight up high on the building (if they let you), such as over an alley on a lot line building.

Just beware of vibration (noise) translated into the building framing from the mounts.

And remember in some old buildings if they are 2x4 construction on the exterior walls, those 2x4s may run from the basement all the way to the attic with no firestops. Making good paces to run electric, water and HVAC ducting.

And wouldn't central air and a modern Nat Gas forced air system be nicer than a boiler if you could get a grant for that.

If the old place is not very well insulated an energy saving forced air system might be very friendly to the deal (???)

Good Luck!
