Donors to Edwards Place
The Springfield Art Association has been overwhelmed at the generosity of its friends, members, and neighbors, who have donated their time and resources to the cause of restoring Edwards Place to the grandeur of its heyday. The result is an historic site that is not just a memorial to the people and events of the past, but a living monument to the spirit of generosity and community that made its restoration possible.
Special thanks must be extended to Mr. Tom Jeffris and the JEFFRIS FAMILY FOUNDATION. Headquartered in Janesville, Wisconsin, its mission is to preserve the cultural history and heritage of the Midwest through the preservation of regionally and nationally important historic buildings and decorative arts projects. Without the Foundation’s generous award of a planning grant and two challenge grants, this restoration would not have been possible.
Thanks also to PATRICIA AND DON ALTORFER, whose generous contribution allowed us to reach our fundraising goal two years ahead of schedule. We are deeply grateful to your continued support of and belief in Edwards Place and the Springfield Art Association.
The Art Association is also grateful to the THE SHELBY CULLOM DAVIS CHARITABLE FUND for its support of this project. Benjamin S. Edwards was the law mentor of Shelby Cullom Davis’s distinguished ancestor, Illinois Governor Shelby Cullom.
Finally, the Art Association would like to thank THE COMMUNITY FUND OF THE LAND OF LINCOLN for the award of an historic preservation grant to support the reproduction of historic wallpaper.
