The HLC bought the property for $100,000. The Committee members discussed design Schemes I and II and agreed that Scheme II appears to be the more desirable to pursue. The Committee preferred Scheme II due to the fact that more of the original kitchen wall is retained, an additional bath tub will be added in one of the downstairs bathrooms , and a skylight will be added which will give more light to the upstairs bedroom and over the stairway and downstairs hall. The Committee members agreed that the well house should be stabilized. Proposed drawings are on file at the HLC office. Final proposed design plans will be presented to the Design Review Committee at a future date. Item #3 - Presentation of Design Concepts for Grier-Rea House: Mr. Yelverton Mr. Yelverton distributed proposed design plans for the Grier-Rea House.

Mr. Yelverton said that an approval letter has been received from the State of N. C. for the work. The Committee discussed the proposed plans and made suggestions.
