Mitchell Saloon Historic Structure Report
Partner Organizations: City of Wykoff, Wykoff Historical Society.
The Mitchell Saloon is a 19th-century commercial building in the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1876, the Saloon, now called Ed's Museum, and its annex, the Wykoff Area Schools Museum, are showing signs of fatigue: clapboard siding needs repair, its foundation is crumbling and the windows are in need of attention. While the City of Wykoff owns this building, it doesn't have the funds to undertake improvements that respect the historical integrity of the building. ACHF funds are enabling the partners to create a report that will guide future work on the building. With a report that details required improvements, a recommended schedule and expected costs, the Wykoff Historical Society will be able to write grant applications and plan fundraising activities to preserve the building for future generations.
