A respected building revitalization company, Proto Restoration Construction has been in business since 1988. In addition to building strong relationships with local engineers and project managers, the New York City-based Proto Restoration Construction has maintained affiliations with a number of organizations, including the New York Landmarks Conservancy.
Dedicated to protecting and preserving architecture throughout New York City, the New York Landmarks Conservancy oversees a variety of financial assistance, advocacy, and education programs and services. Recently, the organization awarded $178,500 to 16 religious properties as part of its Sacred Sites grant program. The grants will be used to restore churches throughout New York State, including St. Luke’s Episcopal Church of Jamestown in Chautauqua County, Christ Church in Rochester, and Westminster Presbyterian Church in Albany.
In addition to awarding grants, the Conservancy has been working to restore the Erasmus Academy Building, which was built in 1787. Along with the Erasmus alumni, the Conservancy has been spearheading efforts to secure $1.33 million from the City Council. The funds would be used to protect the building’s exterior and prepare it for future use.
