Finch, Pruyn & Co. owns the house and made it available to the
Amanda's House committee. For 10 months, the old house underwent major
renovations. Every weekend, volunteers, both professional and amateur,
would show up and give of their time and talent. Most of the materials and
all of the labor was donated. The furnishings and appliances were
purchased by different organizations and individuals who 'adopted' a room.
