Subject: Pittsboro’s Community House
Last week at the Wake-Up Wednesday community breakfast, I saw for the first time the beautiful upgrades that have occurred thus far at Pittsboro’s Community House. It’s looking terrific!
The wider exterior stairs are much more inviting and the sensitivity that’s been shown in the selection of the lighting and fan fixtures both outside and in is perfect. What a great jump start for this local architectural gem! When times are as tough as they are now, it is particularly uplifting to see care being shown to our town’s historic structures –especially when it’s done through grant funds, as this was. Thanks to all the town staff, citizen volunteers and local artisans who had a hand in bringing these improvements to reality.
For those who don’t know about the Community House, it is a historic stone structure at 65 Thompson Street a couple of doors east of Elizabeth’s Pizza built in the 1930s. It is managed by the Town of Pittsboro @ 919-542-4621 and is available to rent for meetings, receptions, parties, classes, and workshops.
