During the October 30th Town Council meeting (agenda, Staff Report), the council will scheduled to discuss whether to consider the “John Pullen Hunter House” as a historic landmark. The significance of this is best stated in the John Pullen Hunter House Landmark Application.
“The chicken coop is the only surviving example of a rural farm outbuilding type in the Cary Historic District. Though an outbuilding of this type appears to have been rare in Cary’s suburban neighborhood, the chicken coop’s presence reflects an adaptation of rural practices into a suburban setting.”
It will be interesting to see what comments are made by the council members regarding this application. Will they reject it as a historic landmark because “it’s not Cary”?
