A historic mansion in Throgs Neck, once home to the Domino Sugar CEO, now houses Preston High School.

The 200-year-old building is filled with character, from detailed woodwork to beautiful fireplaces.

But the wear and tear is taking a toll on the community.

The school faces costly repairs, especially after storm damage.

They’re prioritizing the preservation of key spaces like the porch, which is used for graduations and special events.

Preston is asking for community support this holiday season to help maintain the mansion and protect its legacy for future generations.
