EXCHANGE FEATURES PRESERVATION AT WORK IN ROSEBURG
 
For Kathy Henderson, director of the Umpqua Valley Arts Association in
Roseburg, her organization’s leased historical building is both a
blessing and a burden. The 1917 Old Soldiers’ Home is a beautiful
building according to Henderson, but can be costly to operate. Read how
a grant from the Oregon Department of Energy helped make the building
more energy efficient and worked well with its preservation needs on
Oregon Heritage Exchange at www.oregonheritage.wordpress.com.
