Another story on the Commencement House in Greensboro:

"City Council reversed the Zoning Commission’s approval to rezone property near the corner of North Elm and Cornwallis Drive to allow for condos, but questions linger over the future of the Commencement House, an historic property of modern design and historic significance.

The rezoning request for the property would have cleared the way for two residential structures, each containing 12 units to be constructed on the site that adjoins single family residences to the west and north, a church to the east and a bank to the south. The project would have resulted in the demolition (or at least dismantling) of the Commencement House. . . "
