The old house, lastly lived in by Warner and Lora Pomerene who restored it in the late 1940's, was left to the community in the 1980's. People who grew up in the neighborhood recount small childhood stories of playing in the yard...of being invited into the house for tea...about sitting in the high-ceiling room...about cookies. The stories are always told with an air of significance.

Fast forward: two young women walked into the Pomerene Center one evening for a community event and immediately assumed the playful "airs and graces" of women of significance. Walking into the gracious, proportioned space of the classic Greek Revival home, it is hard not to feel transformed.
