The Council purchased the 1910 house for $1.8 million and spent $1.5 million on renovations and to make the house accessible to the disabled.

Of the $1.5 million, $300,000 came from the federal Community Development Block Grant for the American Disabilities Act improvements to the house of 4,900 square feet on 3.55 acres.

The Council also awarded a contract this year for almost $246,845 to Tucker Grading and Hauling for the parking area.
