Louis Jordan Boyhood Home[edit]

The original list article listed this, but I/we couldn't find it in NRIS records. In light of what I did find (below), I decided to leave it out of the article, since in addition to not finding it listed, it's likely it's no longer there.

From User Talk:doncram

"In the place Jordan knew best, his hometown, he is part of the blurry past as residents deal with the region's present-day poverty and unemployment. Jordan's boyhood home is rotting and falling down, and weeds and tall grass surround the building. A homemade sign reads: "Historical Site Boyhood Home of The Legendary Musician Louis Jordan."

The city has condemned the property, and the mayor is waiting for the City Council to appropriate the $2,000 or so needed to tear down the house."[1]

I'm gonna just leave it out of the list. Lvklock (talk) 17:46, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Righto, good. Clearly not NRHP listed. Interesting quote and newspaper article, perhaps could paste this to the list-article talk page for the person to find, for the person who added the house to the NRHP list. Or not. Thanks! doncram (talk) 17:59, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
