Association seeks help to save 1812 home of Hawthorne
Share
RAYMOND The three-year-long “Save the Hawthorne House” fundraising campaign, launched to repair serious structural damage to Nathaniel Hawthorne’s boyhood home, is entering its last phase.
But the campaign still lacks the final $15,000 it needs to reach completion.
People can help save the 1812 home by making checks payable to “Hawthorne Community Association,” P.O. Box 185, South Casco, ME 04077. PayPal donations can also be made at hawthorneassoc.com.
“Work on excavating the granite foundation has now begun, and from the looks of things it’s a very good thing we began when we did,” said Abel Bates of the Hawthorne Community Association, according to a news release from the association. “The foundation was even worse than we thought.”
