Inside The Dr. Horace Drew Residence

[PATSY/AUTUMN]

in response to me purchasing it, which I PM'ed Musicman with more of my thinking, if I had the money to purchase and rehab it, I would.  AND if I had that much money, I would purchase the other building and level it.  do something to enhance that corner.  Then, I would find a way to donate it to someone deserving of it.....like Doug Nichols.  I can only dream.   if, if, if.  wish I had more to offer.  and on my If List, would also be the purchase of our group's building and restoring it to it's original dignity.   SOMEBODY, win the lottery soon and stop with the ifs.  make it CAN DOS

Patsy has learned nothing from our conversations lol.

I made a small attempt to do some yard work done.  That was Sunday.  Bad mistake, since the creek had overflowed all the way to 3rd St.  Did manage to pull some air potato and Virginia creeper down on the west side by the garage.  Went back Monday and worked along the fence by the abandoned building.  made some progress before having to retreat from the yellow jackets.  If all I can do to honor the house, is pull vines, etc.  I will.

   SOMEBODY, win the lottery soon

I'm trying really hard but it hasn't worked out so far (darn odds) 

- there's also the Jones Bros furniture building to be bought.

Wait I thought you were just bashing PSOS, even though we saved it from demolition?

wonderful photo of 1955!  Wish the people in it were identified.   Thanks, She Clown for posting it.

what room was this taken in?  I am trying to match it up with my recollections?

Any progress with her?  Nobody seems to know anything here.  Wish we could get updates.

The Drew is currently under contract by a man who ownes a construction company.  I was excited by what I heard him tell HPC staff while touring the property; he wants to fully restore her (leaving her in a residential state) and make that his company headquarters.  Now wouldn't THAT be ideal??  I really hope this comes to fruition and he is successful.

You mean the Lincoln ...

The Drew was sold to Michael Bourre of Bourre Construction Group today. : )

A great day for SPR and historic preservation in Jax.

Michael will talk about his plans for the property, and for the Springfield Historic District in general, at the March 12th community meeting:
