Historic Grandy House, Norfolk Virginia
The Grandy House was a historic home in Norfolk, Virginia that was the subject of a lawsuit and a proposed demolition.
The Grandy House was located in the Freemason neighborhood of Norfolk.
A local civic league, the Freemason Street Area Association, appealed the city's approval to demolish the house.
Neighbors of the house filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, claiming the city didn't follow the proper procedures.
The lawsuit claimed that the city allowed the homeowner to bypass steps in the historic preservation process.
The TCC Jeanne and George Roper Performing Arts Center occupies the former Loews State Theater building in downtown Norfolk, Virginia. Originally built in elegant style in 1926, with gilded box seats, glass chandeliers and ornate, hand painted architectural details, the Roper has been lauded by theater critics as "a cathedral to the past".
We are sad to hear about the structural issues and hope they are able to provide funding to save this historic landmark.
