Maryhill Museum of Art has received a $1,000,000 grant from the State of Washington to support the repair and replacement of the exterior stucco on the museum’s historic building.   The total cost of the project is estimated at $1,394,000, with the remainder to be raised from private sources.  The state’s grant will allow the museum to properly address the underlying causes of water damage by removing old repairs and applying new solutions to the problems.  The project will repair and replace the exterior stucco on the museum’s historic building, replace decking on the building’s roofs and ramps, and make repairs to the flashing and gutters to prevent further deterioration of the facade.  The entire stucco exterior will be painted in the original historic color, placing the building within its historic context.  Fundraising for the remaining $394,000 is underway, with a goal to secure all of the funding by spring 2016 so work can begin in early summer and be finished by late fall 2016.
