In August 2014, flooding from torrential rainstorms caused severe damage to Charnley-Persky House. The Society of Architectural Historians established the Friends of Charnley-Persky House to recognize the generosity of the individuals and organizations who donated to restoration efforts that year—the Founding Friends. All who contribute a tax-deductible donation of $50 or more are considered a Friend of Charnley-Persky House. Thank you for supporting the preservation of this National Historic Landmark.
