Mt. Cuba Center in Greenville is getting ready to demolish two houses on the property. Steve McCann, the Manager of Facilities and Sustainability, contacted the ReStore about removing anything we may be interested in taking for the store. Bank of America provided 15 volunteers on Wednesday to help in the work. We were able to remove many items from one of the houses and will go back for the second house. After we finish removing anything we can use the Center will allow the houses to be used by police and fire departments for training purposes.
Right now everything that we removed has been placed in storage on Mt. Cuba Center's property. It will be brought into the store in the next few weeks. We have gotten kitchen cabinets, doors, ceiling fans, light fixtures, and a furnace. The second house has many of the same items but also has some very good bathroom fixtures.
Mt. Cuba Center, mtcubacenter.org, is dedicated to the study, conservation, and appreciation of plants native to the Appalachian Piedmont region through garden display, education, and research. It is the former estate of Mr. and Mrs. Lammot DuPont Copeland.
