Abstract:
The Stedman Incentive Grant assists non-profit organizations in their efforts to save endangered architecturally and historically significant property. The Sandy Level Community Council in Surry County received the 1999 award for saving the 1885 Satterfield House. The council had to resolve problems in the African-American community, where the house is located, and deal with resistance from Mount Airy over extending sewer lines to the house. Proposed users for the house include a center for neighborhood meetings and a police sub-station.
