Abstract:
The Stedman Incentive Grant, worth $5,000, assists non-profit organizations in efforts to save endangered architecturally and historically significant property. Asheville's historic Hopkins Chapel A.M.E. Zion Church, designed in 1910, received the 1996 Stedman award. The congregation, which once considered demolishing the building because of its structural problems, is now developing fundraising and preservation strategies. The church will use the Stedman Grant to stabilize the roof and the internal framing of the sanctuary floor.
