"Students studying carpentry in Surry Community College’s (SCC) Construction Management Technology (CMT) program are renovating the historic Satterfield House in the Sandy Level community of Mount Airy.

Constructed during the late 1800s, the house recently attracted attention from historians and preservationists across the state who visited the property during Preservation North Carolina’s annual conference held in Mount Airy last month.

The work of the construction management students will ensure that the Satterfield House is preserved for future generations to use as a community center. Students began work last year and are now in the process of renovating the stairwell and all of the floor joists on the home’s second story. They are also repairing the walls and rafters. The renovations are scheduled for completion at the end of the spring 2012 semester."
