Windham Preservation, Inc. (WPI) is requesting proposals from qualified architectural professionals, for a feasibility study of The Windham Inn (c.1783) a contributing Building in the Windham Center Historic District and an iconic and much-loved part of the village’s built heritage. WPI seeks to understand the most potentially viable and successful re-use cases for the Inn along with cost and project timeline estimates for its Rehabilitation and Restoration. The goal is to restore the Inn’s exterior while retaining historic interior elements such as, but not limited to: Windows, doors, hardware, staircases, pantries, fireplaces – including original/early mantels and hearths, millwork, clawfoot tubs, other facets as may be revealed during restoration, and additional elements that may be reasonably re-used to reduce landfill debris. WPI’s successful bidder will have prior experience in successful historic preservation project feasibility studies, innovative ideas for cost reduction and the patience/willingness to work with a small but passionate group of preservationists.
