Shelter Series: Cohen-Fumero House
4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
The Shelter Series is Preservation NC’s Virtual Programming Series about Places That Matter.
We fondly refer to PNC as “the animal shelter for old houses.” It’s a fun nickname, but a responsibility we take to heart. Right now, “shelter” has taken on so many important meanings. At its core, we believe “shelter” remains what it’s always been – a place that provides cover and protection.
Our work is focused on the houses, buildings, churches, schools, and mills that have provided cover and protection for generations of North Carolinians. During this time when “sheltering” has become central to our lives, we want to explore with you the culture, architecture, diversity and stories of the many shelters across our state.
Join Ted Alexander, Preservation NC Regional Director, Herb Cohen, famed artist and original home owner, and Charlie Miller, current owner and renovator, to discuss the preservation and restoration of this amazing Mid-Century Modern Masterpiece! Ted, Herb and Charlie will share incredible before and after images and discuss the history and restoration journey of this important artistic and historic landmark.
