Bristol Red Cross Eyes Historic Building as New HQ
The old Stone Building on Thames Street, built in 1817, could become the Bristol Red Cross headquarters. Key figures, including Philip Sturges II and Raymond DeLeo, seek to preserve the structure while securing renovations estimated at ten to fifteen thousand dollars. The plan aims to keep parking unobstructed and avoid postal traffic disruption, with a lease at one dollar per year and broad local support.
