(Staff Photo by How ard Jones) Society Planning Tour Of Henderson Neighborhoods The Vance County Historical Society will sponsor its annual Old Neighborhoods Christmas Tour on Sunday, Dec. 13, from 1:30 p. m. to 5:30 p. m. The tours are held to encourage the pur chase of old dwellings for pre servation, according to a society spokesman. Tours for the past two years have centered around two or three blocks of the downtown residential areas. A variety of old structures lias been chosen this year to offer potential buyers fresh ideas for restoration and use. Crossland Development Com pany, 820 South Garnett Street, is now housed in the former home of Dr. and Mrs. R. T. Up church. The present owner has renovated the Georgian resi dence into office space. Two of the homes are family places. The Perry home at 2027 Oxford Road was built in 1946 and has experienced several ad ditions as the family grew. Each change made by Leon and Lucille Perry has been in keeping with the original com pact appearance. The unusually large great room or den was con structed using the walls of a two car garage, thus no alteration to exterior walls was necessary. The second family home is that of the late T. B. Rose, Jr., an executive with Roses Stores. His daughter, Ann Rose Allen, and her husband, Col. G. R. Allen, have lived here since his retirement from the U. S. Army. In continuous use since the early 1930s, no restoration has been necessary to the classic Georgian structure. To show what young couples with growing families can do to make old homes comfortable, convenient and attractive is depicted in the homes of Mr. and Mrs. J. Henry Falkner, III, and Mr. and Mrs. Jan Fletcher. T Falkner home at 236 Dabne\ Drive has been renovated exten siv ly. A typical conventional design of the 1910s, the interior alterations include removal of the long center hall and con struction of a large living room and a den. The exterior remains as original with the exception of a deck. Like the Falkners, the Fletcher family chose Williams burg tints to enhance then home. Few changes have been made to the interior of the Fletcher home which appears much as originally built by Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hight, former clerk of superior court. Their address is 114 Jennette Avenue. Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Durrett of 1939 Oxford Road are second owners of their brick Georgian which was built in the late 1920s by W. B. Daniels. The Maryland natives enjoy the charm of the sixty-seven year old house as it is and plan to preserve the in tegrity of the original design. This Historical Society always includes a church on the Christ mas Tour. The First Baptist Church at 205 Winder Street will lie visited this year. The Gothic Revival building features a gable roof, pointed-arched win dows and buttresses. As an add ed attraction, the music depart ment will present a brief Christmas recital at 3 p. m. Tickets for the tour will be $5 and can be purchased at numer ous business firms throughout Henderson. They will also be available at the Crossroad De velopment building on the day of the tour. Belt-shaped Barileli pears are good eaten put of hand or poached.
