Brick Barn
Brick Barn:NFHPS applied considerable pressure to secure the Brick Barn at DeVeaux Woods. Happily, with the cooperation of a lot of entities interested in preservation, a sturdy tarp was placed on the roof, thus securing the interior from further damage.
The Historic Plaque Project
NFHPS decided to support the City’s Live NF effort in the Park Place area by offering plaques that identified the date homes were built and/or famous owners. To advance this project, two public meetings were held at the First UU Church at 639 Main St. Besides hearing about the plaques, the neighbors felt there was need for a block club. Further discussion about what material the plaque is made of and placement of the scrip is still taking place.

NFHPS Board fought to save the building and just hours before it was scheduled for demolition it was purchased by the Rollands.
Mary Ann accepted an Award from Preservation Buffalo Niagara on behalf her and her late husband, Bill Rolland.
