I noticed that the article is from 2008, would you know if the home was or is now consider a Heritage Home? With the latest photos showing the removal of the front porch, I wonder if a new one will be built? I sure hope so. But I would also hate to see the current owner being burden with the cost if the porch was removed because of age and rotting. I myself really do want to see history preserved but I also don't want the owner to face a financial strain seeing he bought the home when it wasn't designated as a Heritage Home. Thanks again JJ.

Just in case anyone didn't notice, the current owner did say in the article that he was going to replace the porch, but he never did say if it would be in the same style. I would imagine if it is a Heritage Home now, that it would have to be the same style. Also, I just can't believe that no one grabbed a piece of the porch flooring that Gordon must have walked on all those years ago. How cool it would be to have him autograph a piece of floor board.
