A $529,038 grant has been awarded to the Cleveland Restoration Society for the exterior restoration of Cory United Methodist Church.
The restoration society said this money will fund phase two of repairs to the church, which includes brick cleaning and repointing the entire envelope, chimney repair, and terra cotta repairs for the north and south elevations.
Located on East 105th Street, Cory United Methodist Church served as a beacon for safety during the Civil Rights Movement. Phase one of the restoration efforts of the Cory included a $500,000 grant that went toward exterior masonry, terra cotta stabilization and its nomination to the National Register of Historic Places.
