Community rallies to preserve historic Nancy Jones House
During a recent government meeting, community members raised significant concerns regarding the preservation and future use of the historic Nancy Jones House in Cary. Mary Collins initiated the discussion by suggesting potential uses for the property, emphasizing its importance to the community.

Lindsey Robinson highlighted an ongoing issue with non-residents using false addresses to register for classes at the Cary Art Center, urging the center to take action on this matter. This concern has been forwarded to the appropriate staff for further investigation.

An anonymous commenter criticized local government for raising taxes and misusing taxpayer funds, arguing that a fairer allocation could lead to lower taxes for residents.

Michael Rubis, a member of the Friends of the Page Walker and Cary's Historical Society, presented a resolution supporting the Nancy Jones House's preservation at its current location. He noted that the house is the oldest known residential structure in Cary and holds significant historical designations, including being listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Rubis detailed the improvements made to the house since its relocation in 2020 and expressed concerns that moving it again could jeopardize its historical status and the benefits it could provide to the community.

The Friends of the Page Walker called for the establishment of appropriate uses for the Nancy Jones House that would enhance public good and requested that restoration efforts be fully funded and initiated without delay. The resolution was proclaimed on July 25, 2024, underscoring the community's commitment to preserving its historical heritage.
