c. The Robert and Elizabeth Smith
House. 1708 Park Road. A majority of the Executive Committee
authorized staff to submit a contingency offer to purchase the house at 1708
Park Road. The owners have accepted the contingency offer. This
would be an expansion of the scope of the revolving fund, because the house
is a contributing property in a local historic district, not an individual
historic landmark.

The house was built in 1922. The
architect was Frederick L. Bonfoey (1869-1933), who came to Charlotte in
1908 and specialized in the design of bungalows. The original owners
were Robert J. Smith and his wife Elizabeth. He was assistant manager
for the John C. Shepherd Lumber Co.
The Commission will need to go into executive
session to discuss this matter.
