The nonprofit organization that runs the Heurich House, which I’ve written about a couple times before, has until March 15 to raise almost $230,000 or risk defaulting on the loan they used to purchase the property.
CNN.com has picked up an excellent AP story about the house, which now appears as the top link in the Travel section. I’ve already donated and encourage everyone who values DC history to make a donation too. Not only is the home a well preserved example of Victorian Architecture, it also contains the wood carvings of my friend Mike Grass’ great grandfather. See BrewmastersCastle.com for more information or to donate online.
