House Renovation Project - Sold!
In 2004 the Grisham house at 1102 E. McCarty was donated to the Historic City of Jefferson. It is located several blocks from the old prison redevelopment site. HCJ has encouraged the revitalization movement in this historic neighborhood.
The house was built circa 1895 by John and Molly Grisham. Through donations to the Greg Stockard Heritage Fund , and through the generous donations from Greg’s mother Emma Stockard, HCJ has begun renovations that have included a new roof and porch. Restoration efforts continued as funds become available with HCJ members donating many work hours to the project. The Grisham house served as HCJ’s home for meetings until it's recent sale to local investors.
As of June 1, 2008 the property has been sold to a local couple who are active HCJ members. They have renovated other buildings in the east end. We expect big things as they move forward.
