Using advanced laser scanning, our team created a lifelike digital replica of the building—preserving every angle and historic detail within millimeters of accuracy.

Read MoreDear Community, Friends, and Supporters,
We want to give you an update on Sustain Wayne’s Masonic Hall project.
With Covid-19 and the effect it has had, we thought it was best not to solicit donations during the past several months. As we near the end of the year and look ahead to the future of the Masonic Hall, we are asking for your help. We have a block grant (known as the CDBG Grant) for $50,000, which will cover exterior work on the building, specifically the roof. The work is slated to begin in May.

Happy New Year!
The members of Sustain Wayne would like to let you know of some changes over the past few months. Sustain Wayne is currently renting The Bellefonda House on Main Street as our headquarters. This will give us the opportunity to offer programming and community events while still actively seeking donations for the Masonic Hall renovation. Our first goal and most pressing issue to address is the replacement of the foundation to make the building structurally sound.
