WSO recently hosted a benefit concert to raise money to restore the historic building

The Windsor Symphony Orchestra has hit a good note with the Belle Vue National Historic site.

It held a benefit concert May 1 to raise money to restore the historic building on Dalhousie St. in Amherstburg.

It raised $6,650 during the event which will be given to the Belle Vue Conservancy.

"It's another little step for our dear Belle Vue," says event chair Linda Jackson.

In September 2016, Amherstburg purchased the Belle Vue House which was listed as one of the top 10 endangered properties in Canada.

The home was built between 1816 and 1819.
