Your tax dollars at work - check out the new roof on Blount Mansion!

In April, the City transferred $60,000 from its Historic Preservation and Façade Improvement Program to help the Gov. William Blount Mansion Association protect the historic home, which dates to the late 1700s and is a National Historic Landmark. The funds are paired with a state grant to reroof the home and outbuilding in cedar roofing shakes.

Last night, two young men stole the flags from our flag poles at our visitor center on the corner of Gay Street and Hill Avenue at about 2:15 in the morning. What is especially galling about this is our flags were at half staff for Dolly Parton. Considering those flags were donated by a generous downtown resident I’m sure Miss Dolly would be very disappointed in these two young men. We have filed a police report with KPD and submitted the footage of them stealing from us. Considering everything we do is made possible by our generous donors we sure hope these two young men grow up and do better and learn not to steal from anyone much less an educational nonprofit.
