MOVE THAT HOUSE - the moving process |
|
|
|
|
|
Assistance with the move was provided by Preservation Greensboro Development Fund. The Development Fund is an entity borne from Preservation Greensboro in the 1980s. |

A wonderful two-story frame Queen Anne single family house located at 220 Blandwood Avenue is part of an ensemble of historic properties in downtown Greensboro. Slated for demolition, the homes were saved from the wrecking ball and will have new life breathed into them for future generations to enjoy. |
|
|
Its purpose is to partner with other real-estate interests to preserve historic places throughout the community. Through the Fund, the house at 220 Blandwood Avenue will be preserved in a complex agreement involving the Fund, Southern Evergreen, the City of Greensboro, Guilford County, and the soon-to-be-owner Mahlon Honeycutt.

"Not only did [Southern Evergreen] play a critical role in enabling the project on a fundamental level, however, you went beyond that and proceeded to orchestrate a top notch rehabilitation of the house in its new location that has far exceeded Preservation Greensboro's expectations and added tremendous value not just to the house, but to the entire 400 block of N. Cedar Street." Marsh Prause, Chairman, Board of Trustees, Preservation Greensboro Development Fund |

“It’s much better than we anticipated it would be,” he said. “They (Southern Evergreen) took personal pride in it.” Mahlon Honeycutt, home owner |

"Hi, Tom - THANK YOU . . . to you and Steve and Nora - for joining all of us in the huge celebration of success this past Sunday! Our family cannot thank you and you entire staff enough for going 'above and beyond' with such a challenging and detailed renovation - - and achieving such spectacular results! You didn't just "do a renovation" - it was evident that each one of you brought your heart, soul and passion to this project - - and the project itself began to take on a life of its own. The sum of the parts far exceeded the individual pieces and players - - and it was almost magical to watch the collaboration of efforts unfold! As you said - how incredible to have been a part!" Vicki Honeycutt |
