Friday, December 06, 2019
Linden Place Mansion in Bristol has been awarded a $25,000 grant from The Champion Foundation for upgrades to the mansion’s electric systems.
“Upgrade of the mansion’s electrical system is not only crucial for the safety of staff, volunteers and visitors, but also for the irreplaceable 1810 mansion and its contents. We are so thankful to The Champlin Foundation for making this project possible and for securing the mansion and its collections for generations to come,” said Susan Battle, Executive Director of the Mansion.
Electrical renovations to the mansion will begin in mid-January and are expected to be completed by mid-March.

The “knob and tube” electrical wiring dates to the early 1900’s renovations undertaken by then-owner, Samuel P. Colt. Given the age and uncertainties of the antique wiring throughout the house, the Board and Staff deemed it a top priority to upgrade the electrical system.
In addition to The Champlin Foundation’s grant, additional funding for this project comes from a generous $20,000 donation from The Felicia Fund for a total of $45,000.
