Back in 2019, I posted a bit about the old Bond Library (here), mentioning that there were plans to convert the old Bond Memorial Library to a cultural/historical museum.

When I was down that way a few weeks ago, I found that work is now underway on that project. The overgrown area around the building has been mostly cleared and it looks like the roof is receiving attention. The rest of the building looks pretty much unchanged, though.

I have to say that the $1,000,000 project goal seems steep for fixing the building, but I have no idea what construction costs are these days.

    Well it will be very interesting to see it transform, Graham. Our government has set aside a billion, I believe, to restore one of our large museums/monuments. And our billion is the million million kind. I can certainly think of more pressing demands on the money, but who am I?
