JOHN DAY – The John Day Historic Preservation Foundation is looking for the community’s help in buying the parsonage connected with the historical Advent Christian Church on Main Street in John Day.

The board of the Foundation plans to buy the parsonage from the Chamber of Commerce. The Foundation would have the building assessed for restoration and create a plan for community use of the property.

The public can help through tax-deductible contributions to the John Day Historic Preservation Foundation, P.O. Box 367, John Day, OR 97845. Donations also may be dropped off at the office of Karin Barntish, LTC, 131 W. Main Street in John Day.
