The Friends of Newtowne Manor House, under the auspices of St. Francis Xavier Church and the Archdiocese of Washington is taking the initiative to plan the preservation and eventual restoration of the Manor House. A generous gift from the estate of Patrick O'Donnell has provided seed money to start us toward our preservation goals. But more capital will be needed for restoration. Donations are tax deductible and may be made to St. Francis Xavier Church. Be sure to mark "Manor House Restoration" on the memo line. The church address can be found on the Contacts page.
