The Wake Forest Fire Department has
scheduled two practice burns of houses
in the downtown area.
On Wednesday, Oct. 18, the
firefighters will practice in and then
burn the house at 239 E. Jones Ave. that
was formerly John Lyon’s Appraisal
House.
On Saturday, Oct. 28, the
fire department will repeat the same
training and burn the house at 221 E.
Jones Ave. that was jovi’s Kitchen and
Market until recently.
The practice burns have been
rescheduled after learning the original
dates would interfere with the 2006 Wake
Forest Artists Studio Tour and the
Autumn Arts Festival.
Both businesses have
relocated. Jovi’s can be found at The
Cotton Company on South White Street,
and the Appraisal House is at 10435
Ligon Mill Road.
The properties are now owned
by Renaissance Investors Group LLC –
Matt Hale, Mike Johnson and Charles
Grant – who are planning a multi-use
building combining retail space on the
ground floor with condo apartments above
and parking in the basement. |
