This morning, Friday, March 24, Stephanie Wade of JS Real Estate announced the final approval of the Grigg’s Business College at 492 Vance and its official addition to the National Register of Historic Places by the National Park Service.
“We are extremely honored to have the privilege of shedding light on an unsung hero and a property so important to the legacy of Vance Avenue,” Stephanie said. “Listing in the National Register is only the beginning. We will have many more triumphs to celebrate.”
