When Raleigh Mayor Nancy McFarlane emerged from closed session after Tuesday\u2019s regular City Council meeting, she had little news to share about the infamous Oakwood house, much to the dismay of the reporters who’d hung around. <\/p>\n

A modernist house in Oakwood has sparked debate<\/a> about the place for new design in historic neighborhoods. A decision from a city board last week called for construction to stop on the house, but the city has not yet ordered the owner<\/a> to stop work on the home on Euclid Street \u2014 work that is almost complete.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have given the attorney a recommendation on how to proceed, but until those next steps and some of those conversations happen, we don\u2019t have any specifics to report,\u201d said McFarlane, adding that she couldn\u2019t discuss the next steps or conversations. <\/p>\n

McFarlane said it was likely going to be a long process. <\/p>\n

Last week, the Board of Adjustment overturned a Certificate of Approval that was issued to homeowners Louis Cherry and Marsha Gordon by the Raleigh Historic Development Commission in September. These certificates are required when constructing or renovating a building in a historic district. The Board\u2019s decision was in response to an appeal filed by Oakwood neighbor Gail Weisner. <\/p>\n

Cherry and Gordon have the option to appeal the Board\u2019s decision to the Wake County Supreme Court. They can also file for a new Certificate of Appropriateness and alter the house to come into compliance. <\/p>\n

The controversy surrounding the Euclid Street house has divided the neighborhood and spawned a parody Twitter account<\/a>. Tuesday the group North Carolina Modernist Homes<\/a> announced they will hold a press conference at 11 a.m. Friday at the home \u201cto discuss its active entry into the fight for due process for modernist houses under threat.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
