and vestibule.

crucial because of leakage. The phase 1 schedule will begin June 23 (scaffolding will go up) to the 2nd

The Coffin School Trustees
Presenter: Jascin Leonardo - Finger
Mrs. Leonardo - Finger introduced herself as the Curator of the Mitchell House of The Maria Mitchell
Association and the Historian as a member of The Coffin School Trustees. She also introduced Paula
Levy of the Prospect Hill Cemetery.
Mrs. Leonardo- Finger stated that in FY' 13 they submitted a grant proposal in the amount of 241,050 and
were thankfully awarded 143,00 to conserve the fence at The Coffin School and to restore the fences at
Mitchell family lot at Prospect Hill and the other at the Hadwin family lot at Prospect Hill. She stated that
none of the entities has the money to complete this project. This proposal is for funding of the remaining
amount 115,590 to do the project. This would include the fabrication at Prospect Hill for the two sites,
the installation, the painting of the fences, and the resetting of the marble and granite work that the fences
sit upon.
Mrs. Leonardo - Finger stated that this project is for the conservation at the Coffin School fence which is
actually the original 1850's fence for the building. The Coffin School fence will be repaired, reproduced
pieces, and it will be reset on its granite and marble and then repainted.
Mrs. Levy added that this is a collaborative project from three organizations. It more cost effective to do
it collectively rather than individually.
A brief discussion followed.
Mrs. Leonardo- Finger stated that her second proposal is for the conservation of the brick fagade. John
Wattny of Structures North Structural Engineers whom The Coffin School Trustees have worked with
before and is very familiar with Nantucket, will be working on this project.
Mrs. Leonardo- Finger stated that Mr. Wattny, discovered that there was an issue with the front of the
building, in particular the foundation and the pediment. There are bricks missing and falling from the
front entry of the building. This would require several people to do the work which are local and have
already done work on the building.
Mrs. Leonardo- Finger also stated that what need to be worked on first is the pediment, foundation, and
the steps on the front of the building. However, the chimney and the back of the building also need to be
restored/rebuilt.
