Paradise Valley Church renovation project
progressing |
|
June 14, 2015 |
A few weeks ago, work started on a project to do
a significant update and renovation on the
Little White Church in Paradise Valley, a
landmark building in the area that has been
standing in Paradise Valley for 112 years.
Initially, plans started off rather simple and
basic: get a solid foundation for the building,
and a new floor for the inside. From that point,
the next steps would depend on the resources and
available work force to determine what could be
done next.
The project started off with some good funding.
An anonymous donor gave $5,000 for the project.
An area family offered to donate windows, and
the Trail Blazers 4-H Club sold flower seeds and
bulbs and raised $2,000 for the project.

Once work got underway, things really started
picking up on the renovation project. Perhaps
the progress that has been made is best said by
those who are working directly on the job. Here
is their report:
 "Quite
a bit of progress is being made on the
restoration of the little white church in
Paradise Valley.
"Thanks to the hard work of a number of area
men, the building has been raised, piers are
being poured and the floor inside the church is
now level.
"A number of neighbors have stepped up and made
generous donations of not only money, but
someone has donated the material to replace the
roof, another is going to replace the windows
and another will replace the doors that are in
rather poor condition. Others stop by daily and
offer their support and praise for the work that
is being done. Some have provided lunches for
the guys on the job.
If anyone is interested in donating time,
talent, or money for the project, stop by when
you see the guys out there working or call Larry
Hall at 267-0801.
We are also including some up-to-date photos of
the work being done on this project.
