Lanes Cove Fish Shack Restoration Fund Drive
Built in the late 1800’s, the Lanes Cove Fish Shack is very much a part of the living history of Lanesville and all of Gloucester. With your help, we will restore the Fish Shack to its appearance when it was last actively used by fishermen in the 1960’s and 1970’s. The restoration will employ traditional materials, including cedar shingles, roll roofing, and rough sawn lumber. The Shack will be restored for use by commercial fishermen. Work will begin Spring 2012.
This is a community project that needs your active support. Please share copies of this flyer with your neighbors and encourage them to join you in contributing to this historic project so that together we can reach our $80,000 goal.
Contributions should be sent to:
The Gloucester Fund, Inc.
45 Middle Street Gloucester, MA 01930
Be sure to note in the memo line of your check that your contribution is for the Lanes Cove Fish Shack.
Your canceled check is your receipt for this tax deductible contribution.
We also seek skilled and supervised workers to keep down the cost of restoration. Let Arnie Shore know that you will lend a hand with the work of restoration. You can reach Arnie at arnold.shore@gmail.com.
At future community meetings, we will update you on contributions, volunteers, and restoration progress.
A safe, secure, and appropriately restored Lanes Cove Fish Shack is in our future and in the future of our children.
