Public meeting set to discuss log house

A meeting is scheduled 7 p.m. Thursday to discuss the fate of a log house on North Third Street. The session will be at Community Arts Center, Fourth and Main streets.

Adam Johnson, executive director of the Danville/Boyle County Convention and Visitors Bureau, will have charge of the session.

City and county officials along with experts who dismantle and rebuild historic structures are expected to give their views on the two-story log house.

The city and county governments have been asked to donate money to save the house, but the city decline to vote in favor of helping.

Carolyn Crabtree, president of the Boyle County Genealogical Association, has been doing research on the structure in attempt to date when the house was built.

She thinks it may have been built when Danville was settled in the late 1700s, but others say it may have been built later.

Schools receive forfeiture money

Danville High School and Boyle County High School will benefit from money forfeited after a liquor raid at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Buell-Bragg Post.

Trooper Chris Lanham, spokesman for the Richmond state police post, said both schools will receive a check for $784.50 for their respective Project Graduations. Lanham planned to present the checks today.

Police made an undercover purchase of alcohol at the post Feb. 10, resulting in a charge against Quartermaster Charles Elliott.

When the case was disposed of in court, the judge specified that the proceeds from the forfeiture go to Project Graduation, Lanham said.

Trooper Brandon Curlis investigated the case.
