A fine example of preservation at work, the collaborative efforts of Historic Salisbury Foundation, the History Channel and Lowes Home Improvements saved one of the most significant Queen Anne Victorian properties in the Piedmont of North Carolina. And this effort was national televised in September of 2006 on the History Channel on a program entitled "Save Our History: A Victorian Reborn". Within three months the home was sold to a couple who have become wonderful stewards of this significant home. Some photographs to illustrate the power of preservation:
