The Old North St. Louis Restoration Group has launched a PayPal account through which donations for the effort to rebuild the Mullanphy Emigrant Home's collapsed southern wall.
While some temporary structural stabilization work has been completed, the effort is still over $100,000 away from reaching the money needed to rebuild the masonry wall.
We are a generous city with much wealth and love for our history. Can we not rebuild that wall? It seems like a reasonable goal with no ambiguity -- every dollar collected will literally go to the needed bricks, mortar and labor.
The result will be that a neighborhood in the midst of renewal will retain one of its most significant buildings as an anchor for continued development.
Tax-deductible contributions now can be made here.
(PS: For candidates seeking to do good with leftover campaign funds, this is a great cause.)
