Principal Architect, Steve Avdakov, R.A. ., NCARB met with Midwest Center executive director, Richard Olivito yesterday at the Lundy in Mt. Pleasant, along with their assistants, and instantly expressed both a strong love for the history of
the home and Mt. Pleasant in general but also in working with us, to develop a key
restoration plan for the home, all done in accordance w/t historical relevance and
national standards.
This is an exciting development and one that helps brings a level of professionalism to the restoration of this national landmark that is needed and sought after, since I obtained the home this past Spring.
Steve brings a world of experience and a very high level of understanding and actual restorative background and is currently working on several historical preservation projects in the Ohio Valley, including the Old Tavern in Belmont County.
"I would be anxious and honored to be involved with you richard, in having the opportunity to work with you to restore the Lundy home. Its an amazing piece of orginal american history and we know we can bring it back to a great degree of its original status in its form and appearance as well work with you to raise
the awareness of the project throughout the national historical trust "
This is a major step forward and one, that has been keenly anticipated in the brief period since the house came into our ownership recently
I wish to add, my good friend and association and Executive Director of the State NAACP, was also present w/ us and Royal promises both his continuing support and significant assistance in getting the Lundy restored and helping to raise the awareness of the Mt. Pleasant region in general as a key historical significantly region in the formation of the antebellum era social and economic issues of early America.
