House in Brenau historic district demolished due to cost
Placeholder Image
What’s happening with the house that was torn down near the corner of Park and Prior streets near the Brenau University campus? The property was sold in 1995 to Brenau University by Gainesville resident Juanita Forrest under the condition that she could live in the house until she died, according to David Morrison, vice president of communications and publications for the university. After Forrest’s death in March 2012, the university inspected the location, even going so far as to conduct price estimates for a renovation, but ultimately decided that it was too expensive.
