King ManorGrant Award: $4,300 for the repair of the plaster ceiling in the landmarked dining room.
King Manor is a National Historic Landmark, a New York City Landmark, and listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The dining room also boasts an interior landmark designation by the City. The Historic House Trust of New York now has custody of King Manor and along with a local group, the King Manor Association, operates it as a museum and historical center.
As a result of a plumbing leak, a section of the plaster ceiling in this elegant dining room fell down in the spring of 2006. The Emergency Preservation Grant underwrote the cost of plaster repairs and painting, as well as for some broken window panes.
