The share holders and citizens determined to preserve it for posterity raised concerted alarm with Heritage groups and offered stiff resistance against any misadventure. Hence it stands tall today much to the delight of citizens of Chinchinim and share holders For as long as one can remember this edifice in the heart of Chinchinim market has withstood demolition attempts for public road widening too. Unfortunately it is almost in dilapidated conditions and authorities appeared to have connived to let it fall to serve ulterior motives .It is sad but true that those who occupied the chair were more concerned about prestige , status privileges that the Institution had to offer rather than attending to the physical deterioration of the structure A well wisher .suo motto took up the challenge to at least restore it to the semblance of its pristine glory and give it a face lift The interior has been painted, the windows with oyster panes have been painstakingly restored, cleaned of paint,and repaired . Electric connections and fans have been installed and these amenities have made it decent and comfortable for scheduled meets of share holders .Number of Mangalore tiles have been replaced preventing leakage of water ,and the roof requiring major repairs is temporarily given face lift. The external walls are painted too giving it a resurrected look from a haunted place much to the delight of onlookers and passers by and shareholders Mr Marcus de Mello has been painstakingly attending restoration work for over two months, aesthetically, sacrificing his valuable time and at no personal monetary gains but for the love of preserving it as a heritage memory. The share holders and Chinchinim citizens, shareholders in particular are proud of this voluntary effort that costing close to a lakh .There is no financial assistance from any quarters , philanthropists nor the wellwisher is keen to reduce the burden or disclose his identity for personal publicity or glorification It is hoped that the communidade will consider this restoration work for reimbursement . The process is tedious requiring approval and final disbursement .The well wisher is not too sure if it will be materialise early and in the case of negative response is fully prepared to shoulder the burden . My humble request to all share holders and Villagers to volunteer to reduce the financial burden of this restoration effort and not to make it a sole responsibility of those who conceived to attend urgently I agree that mere praises or appreciations will fall short of target As a share holder I am happy and congratulate the well wisher, and specially Marcus for the effort of well meaning and well deserved restoration that has been neglected over decades Nelson Lopes Chinchinim Sent from my iPhone Sent from my iPhone Communidade house at Chinchinim It is definitely in the category of heritage structure both due to its ancestry and its relevance Though it was acquired and compensated for a bus bay, it was done without involving legitimate share holders or taking them into confidence before or after acquisition on the sly to avoid rightful protest ,grievances for its preservation.
