Commission advocates for historic home
The city’s Commission on the Status of Women is asking City Council members to help save an historic home on North Elm Street.
The home near the corner of Elm and Cornwallis streets was designed and built by students from Woman’s College with the help of architect Edward Loewnstein some 50 years ago.
The home might be demolished to make way for condominiums, pending the City Council’s approval of a rezoning request for the property later this year.
The commission – whose members are appointed by City Council –asked council members to consider the historical value of the home.
“We urge you, members of the City Council, to uphold the integrity and innovation built into this home as a project worthy not just of preservation but of promotion as a vibrant city attraction that pays homage to the work of Greensboro's women," according to a motion adopted by the commission Tuesday.
