Description

Join us on Saturday, April 25th at the AC Freeman House from 10am-12pm to show some love on this historic home.

We need about a dozen people to help us with some minor work- many hands make light work, right?

The work that will be done on this day:

• Move furniture
• Cover furniture
• Sweep
• Shop-Vac interior of the home
• Tidying up outside (minimal work)

If you are planning to come, please read the following:

• You must wear closed-toed shoes, or you will not be able to enter the jobsite.
• Bring gloves if available
• If you are prone to allergies, please bring your dust mask.

IMPORTANT: Please register so we can plan accordingly.

About this project:

The AC Freeman House is a Queen Anne-style home built in 1903. In 2005, the home was acquired by the city of Punta Gorda and relocated to land owned by Alfred Gilchrist at the corner of West Retta Esplanade and US41. It is a warm welcome to travelers as they cross the bridge heading south to show the artistic and historic flair of Punta Gorda.

The home has been sitting vacant and dormant since June, 2020.

Thanks to TJ Thornberry, Thornberry Custom Builders, the CDBIA has entered into a lease agreement with the city to bring this historic home back to life!
