From collection College of the Atlantic College of the Atlantic Timeline List (Timeline #1)
Funds from Department of Labor’s Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) and grant money from National Trust for Historic Preservation, Farmers Home Administration and National Endowment for the Humanities allowed renovation work on the Turrets building to begin. John Joseph Emery, the grandson of the original owners of the building, funded the restoration of the Great Hall and the first floor. In addition to internal restoration work: the seaside garden – which had been built by John and Lela Emery when they had owned the building – was renovated by student Claire Verdier in 1979.
