<li>Effingham Lodge 98, is a nonprofit organization raising money to restore a historic home built circa 1890 at 403 Fairfield St., NE, Aiken, SC. 
</li>
<li><br />
</li>
<li>This historic home was formerly known as the Schofield Trades and Printing School that was a part of the Schofield Normal and Industrial School founded by Martha Schofield after the Civil War. It is the last remaining building of the historic Schofield school campus.
</li>
<li><br />
</li>
<li>In 2025, a new galvanized steel roof (29 gauge) was installed.
</li>
<li><br />
</li>
<li><strong>To prevent further age-related deterioration, our goal is to raise $23,000 by April 30, 2026 to complete the following:</strong>
</li>
<li><strong>﻿</strong>
</li>
<li>Repair and paint wood exterior. Costs $23,000.
</li>
<li><br />
</li>
<li><strong>Upon completing major renovations, the historic home will be available to community residents for training and educational opportunities; as well as being a venue for community events.</strong>
