Plans call for restoration of the building\u2019s exterior and measures to stabilize the structure. Also on the agenda is a restoration of the School House\u2019s roof, which will be funded with the assistance of a $14,400 matching grant from the 1772 Foundation. Consultants for the renovation include Ed Wojcik Architect Ltd, Peter Borgemeister, Architect, and the landscape architecture firm of Searle and Searle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThroughout 50 years of occupancy and stewardship, PPS has worked to retain the character of the historically significant Brick School House,\u201d commented James Brayton Hall, the executive director of PPS.. \u201cBy receiving the funds to purchase the building from The Champlin Foundations, we can make this historic structure a safe, accessible, and available resource for the City of Providence.\u201d<br \/>\n<em>Photo credits: www.ppsri.org<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Adriana Pop, Associate Editor After leasing the Brick School House from the city of Providence for a half-century, the Providence Preservation Society is graduating from the historic building&rsquo;s long-time tenant to its new owner.
