DOLLARS FOR the DINING room
 
We Need Your Help !!
 
Wilderstein has been awarded a $15,500 challenge grant from the Gerry Charitable Trust for the restoration of the DINING ROOM.  Matching funds in an equal amount must be raised by October 1, 2009.
 
With the restoration of the exterior of the Wilderstein mansion in its final stages, we have recently begun to undertake the conservation of the interiors.  Three years ago, the tooled leather wall covering in the Entry Hall was restored and this past year the stenciled ceiling in the Library was restored.   
 
We hope you will share in our enthusiasm for this project, and help to maintain the current momentum on the interior restoration of the Wilderstein mansion.

THANK YOU!
Virtually untouched since 1888, Wilderstein's Dining Room was designed by J.B. Tiffany in the English Renaissance style with a coffered ceiling, carved woodwork and floor all of mahogany.  The plaster frieze is painted to simulate mahogany.  The wall covering is a wool fabric with large golden chrysanthemums woven into the tapestry.  Pictured above is the Wilderstein Dining Room table decorated for the holiday season.
