New Paragraph
Adopt-A-Door!
Our beloved ballroom doors have not withstood the test of time and need to be replaced.
Friends of Chateau Bellevue is rolling out a new campaign to replace our beautiful, but battered doors. Installed in the 1960's these doors have succumbed to the elements and have reached retirement age. The doors cannot be restored, but instead will be rebuilt to match these doors exactly using stronger and better materials to last indefinitely! We will also replace the thresholds that have rotted as well to preserve our beautiful hardwoods.
The cost to rebuild the doors is approximately $22,000 each!
We need your help!
Your generous tax deductible donation to Friends of Chateau Bellevue will help defray the cost of new doors. Each donor will be recognized on a special plaque that will be display near the new doors and well as on the website. You will also become a Best Friend of Chateau Bellevue (if you are not already).
