The house has had some repairs, and the Meridian Restorations Foundation is working to stabilize it. The interior is still beautiful and reflects its opulent past. It is the hope of the Foundation to raise funds to apply to its restoration. Concentration is currently on repairing Merrehope.

The Meridian Restorations Foundation has launched the “Raise the Roof” Capital Campaign, our comprehensive plan to save and operate Merrehope and the F.W. Williams Home.
A new roof is needed at Merrehope as well as immediate repairs to both houses. Under the Board’s leadership, Merrehope has been awarded a grant from the Mississippi Department of Archives and History for a new roof and repairs to the damage and deterioration caused by leaking rainwater. This work (Phase 1) has started, and we are raising funds for Phase 2! The roof is critical but only part of the vision. The Meridian Restorations Foundation is determined to restore Meridian’s oldest homes to their past grandeur. Partner with us in this endeavor to preserve, restore and maintain these treasures.
