The Park Inn Hotel in Mason City, Iowa needs your help! This architecturally important Wright-designed hotel (the last of its kind) recently received a grant challenge to help in restoring the endangered building back to its former grandeur.
However, the grant came with a catch. According the the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy's website:
The Vision Iowa
grant is double-edged: while providing a great financial boost, it
carries a 180-day deadline. Counting from the day after the grant
announcement (March 12), a match of $4,300,000 must be raised for this
grant. This will be a daunting task for a town of 28,000, without
outside help. For $2,000,000 of this match, WOTP must seek help from
the wider Frank Lloyd Wright Community.
So, this is the moment of truth. Help make a difference and consider a donation to help save the Inn. Follow the link to learn more or make a contribution directly to
Wright on the Park, Inc. by credit card through the WOTP web site: www.wrightonthepark.org, or by mail to P.O. Box 792, Mason City, Iowa 50402-0792.
