Historic Clayton House Will Get New Porches, Foundation Repairs
Donations secured by the Clayton Century Foundation will fund a majority of the Hanley House project, budgeted at $182,000.
The historic Martin Franklin Hanley House just north of downtown Clayton will receive new porches and repairs to its stone-masonry foundation over the next several months.
Aldermen voted Tuesday to approve a work contract with Brentwood-based JW Fuller Construction. A budget of $182,000 has been set for the project, $115,000 of which comes from funding secured by the nonprofit Clayton Century Foundation. Donors are Susan B. Hanley, the Langenberg Foundation and the Trulaske Foundation.
A total of four companies submitted bids for the work, and all of the bids were over the initial $159,500 project budget, a memo from City Manager Craig Owens and parks director Patty DeForrest states. The city negotiated with JW Fuller to reduce its costs by $13,000.
The total budget figure also will cover an accessible walkway to the back porch and summer kitchen, the memo states.
Construction is expected to begin this month and to wrap up by March 1.
