1. Board Meeting Report (Handwritten Date: Jan 20, 2009)
Topic: The January 10th board meeting of the William Bull and Sarah Wells Stone House Association.
Key Details:
Michael Hughes of Cornerstone Restoration (New Windsor) presented ideas for using slate to replace the deteriorating roof of the historic New World Dutch Barn (built circa 1718).
To help fund the project, Mr. Hughes suggested a sponsorship program where family, friends, and the general public can donate and decorate the underside of the slate tiles.
Both the barn and the 1722 Bull Stone House (located on the Sarah Wells Trail in Hamptonburgh) are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
