Ensuring the historical integrity and the functional performance of the Lounsbury House requires both vigilence and financial resources. The Board of Directors anticipates that approximately $500,000 will be needed over the next 10 years or so to meet recurring demands needed to preserve Ridgefield's town treasure. Toward this end, a special Preservation Fund is being established to protect the long-term integrity and vitality of Lounsbury House. We welcome any contributions that will help in this important and worthwhile effort.

Anticipated projects over the next ten years include:

• Replace doors and siding at rear of Lounsbury House
• Repair of first floor interior ceilings and prevention of recurrence
• Repair or replace 3rd floor dormer windows
• Repair or replace front steps
• Security improvements
• Periodic repair or replacement of interior finishes
• Repair and paint Lounsbury House exterior
• Replace boilers as needed
• Replace air conditioning equipment as needed
• Identify and implement energy saving improvements
• Replace storm windows
• Paint interior of stair towers
• Reroof Lounsbury House
