HELP Us Save the Tower!

Dewings Center needs your help to repair our historic tower and stained glass window frames. A Steeplejack assessed the tower and window frames, and the news was not good. We thought it all just needed paint, but rotting wood was found on the 120-year-old tower and frames, along with needed roof repair.

Our grant application for the work has been denied, so we have started a gofundme campaign to raise the funds to keep the building structurally sound and visually appealing, providing a safe and welcoming environment for our community we serve. The only Arts & Culture Center in the whole of Osceola County, we are the opportunity for many to experience The Arts, and your help is needed so that we can continue our mission of broadening access to arts and culture and community programs, and promoting a connected and supportive community.

Since the tower is 65 feet tall, special equipment is needed. We solicited four businesses and chose a Michigan based Steeplejack, with many years’ experience in repairing and restoring historic and beautiful buildings and towers like ours. His quote: $32,500 for tower repair and painting, $8,000 to repair and paint the window frames. Qualified roofer quote: $10,000. For a grand total of $50,500.

Any amount that you can donate will be helpful.
