“New hammer no match for vintage nails"

The Parksville Arts Center has been compiling programming concepts from local artists and creative people in the area and we have some very exciting things to unveil. We are also extremely happy to be helping to revitalize Main Street in Parksville along with some other great folks. But first, we need to revitalize the building!

We are renovating the former Parksville Synagogue into our non-profit arts center. The Tefereth Israel Anshei Synagogue, built at the turn of the century, is a historic landmark. It has some amazing original details, but needs some work. 

Here is an initial list of renovation needs:

  • Insulate and update HVAC for year-round use

  • Renovate bathrooms to working order

  • Fix roof leak

  • Pull drop ceiling and restore tin ceiling

  • Pull carpet and restore wood floor

  • Pull wall paneling and support new insulation with wood interior walls

  • Update exterior doors and windows for security, insulation, and river view

 

we will preserve the original
