(Lyndon, Vt.) James C. Gallagher, a director at Downs Rachlin Martin PLLC, presented a $1,000 check on behalf of the DRM Community Fund to Sue Chester and Frances Taylor of the Upright Steeple Society. The grant will support the Society’s project to salvage and restore the 1829 Greek Revival building previously occupied by the First Congregational Church of Lyndon.
Through the DRM Community Fund, which was launched in 2000 to celebrate the firm's 50th anniversary, DRM has awarded more than $180,000 in small grants to approximately 180 private, non-profit organizations in Vermont and western New Hampshire to support innovative, grass-roots initiatives in arts, education, economic development and historic preservation projects that strengthen community.
The grant to the Upright Steeple Society was sponsored by Gallagher, who is a member of the Society’s board of trustees. “This 1829 building is the oldest church in town and one of the oldest in the county,” Gallagher said. “We are pleased to help in restoring this beautiful and historically significant structure and look forward to its return to active duty as a community facility.”
