Application for 2007 Historic Preservation Fund Grant. This grant would allow the Commission to start the process of nominating a section of Randolph St for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The proposed district consist of 4 homes, a church, the former HPT&D Railroad Depot and the Standard Chair Company building. This project will provide a measure of valuable protection to these properties. The area is currently on the study list for street widening and would have a serious negative impact on the adjacent historic properties.
3rd Civil War Trails Marker Citing Thomasville's Medical Contributions will be dedicated on March 24, 2007. After the Carolina Campaigns in March of 1865, wounded soldiers were transported by train away from the battlefield and many ended up in Thomasville for medical treatment.
A bronze plaque to recognize the site of the Culbreth-Harris American Legion Hut has been ordered. Built in 1933 the American Legion Hut was a popular gathering place for local dances, picnics, parties, other social events and community activities. For a time Bob Holladay, Uwharrie Council Boy Scout executive, lived in the building's second floor apartment.
