Weekly Acorn #9
Over the years there have been some houses that for some reason or another have not “stood the test of time” in Oak Crest. This week I want to list them and the reason they are no longer here. It is a shame to loose any house. As we move closer to historic designation, I hope we can permanently preserve all that currently remains in our neighborhood.
If anyone has any photos of these houses please contact me. I would love to make a copy of them to include in the photo gallery. I can be reached by email at kent@oakcrestbodyworks.com or 336.727.9771.
