Downloaded Grapevine solution fails to build

I have downloaded http://sukona.github.io/Grapevine/

When I try to build the downloaded solution Grapevine.soln in Visual Studio 2013 without editing anything I get 237 compilation errors such as the following:

Error 32 Unexpected character '\' C:\Users\a\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\Grapevine-master\src\Grapevine\Server\PublicFolder.cs 193 80 Grapevine

Error 28 Unexpected character '$' C:\Users\a\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\Grapevine-master\src\Grapevine\Server\PublicFolder.cs 91 80 Grapevine

Am I supposed to edit contents of the downloaded code before attempting to build it? If so how?

Grapevine uses C# 6 language features that are not normally available in Visual Studio 2013. e.g. the errors referring to unexpected '$' characters are because of attempts to use the new string interpolation feature. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn961160(v=vs.140).aspx
