The wrought iron fence that marks the front of the Richmond mansion grounds at 211 East Main street in Batavia is finally receiving some needed attention.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael Marchese, as part of his Eagle Scout project with Troop 6006, decided to gather his family and friends along with some fellow scouts to scrape and prime the fence on Saturday afternoon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marchese says the idea came about while he was part of a parade on East Main street with his Troop. Marchese’s family sat in front of the fence to watch the parade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“My family came up to me after the parade and said, wow this really looks bad. You should do this for your project. It was part of the mansion that used to be here, and I thought that was really cool, it’s like the last piece of the mansion, it’s like a part of Batavia’s history and I’d like to keep it here for some time to come so people can enjoy it,” says Marchese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fence borders the parking lot of the Richmond Memorial Library and St. Joseph\u2019s Church and is in need of repair as well. Parts of the wrought iron fence are missing after being struck by a vehicle, some parts are separating or rusting out. The fence is owned by St. Joseph’s Church. If there is a trades person or business in the area willing to assist Marchese in his project with possibly repairing the fence, contact Troop 6006, which is based out of the Batavia First United Methodist Church on Lewiston road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
