Abstract:

The Stedman Incentive Grant assists non-profit organizations in efforts to save endangered architecturally and historically significant property. The Gates County Historical Society received the 1991 award. The Gates County Courthouse, built in 1836 and used until 1976, was slated for demolition until the society rescued it to reuse it as a library, museum, and cultural center. The society will use the grant to assist in restoration of the courthouse's roof and guttering.
