C. Deacon House
Chairman Fuller is appearing before the City Council on
Tuesday regarding moving the Deacon House.
It has been suggested that one location be chosen for
historic houses (Fuller House, Himes House, Deacon House. )
II. New Business
A. A letter has been received from the street naming committee
to consider asking the cities of Euless and Grapevine to
name a portion of Highway 360 Martin Luther King Blvd.
Committee agreed that since this was not of historical
significance, this should be the responsibility of the
street naming committee.
B. Robert Nail suggested getting a designation for historical
houses in Euless. Houses might not qualify for state
designation but would qualify for city markers. The
committee suggested having a contest to design a marker for
the houses.
