The group "Create Buckhannon" is ready to take the next steps in bringing a historic home back to life.

The Latham House was built before the Civil War and now needs work on the foundation, flooring, and siding.

The renovation project was kick started by a $5,000 Brownfields Focus grant last year and now "Create Buckhannon" is looking for more funding to continue the work.

It applied for a $250,000 grant and is now waiting for a response.
