3.  Consideration of the Designation Report for the Bonnie Cone House, 9234 Sandburg Avenue, Charlotte

The owner of the Bonnie Cone House has contacted Staff. She is now living in the house and has no plans to demolish the house.  Staff will be meeting with the owner to help them better understand the benefits of landmark designation and recommends that the Survey Committee table this issue until their next meeting.

4.  Update on the Caldwell Bradford Schoolhouse, 16401 Davidson-Concord Road, Davidson

The owner of the Caldwell Bradford School is seeking landmark designation.

The small front-gabled Caldwell Bradford School (now remodeled as a home) is well documented in the records of the Mecklenburg County School System.

It is the only identified surviving schoolhouse that predates the consolidation movement of the 1920s and is the only rural school that has retained its rural setting.

HL Staff is prepared to help fund the report for this property if the schoolhouse is added to the Study List and if the Survey Committee is supportive of landmark status for the property.
