Thursday Briefing: Fruehan in Court, Holden House on National Registry, Innovative Workforce, Early Voting

holden house historical register — Holden House in Bunnell is now in the National Register of Historic Places, following the efforts of Flagler County Historical Society member Randy Jaye. The listing marks Holden House’s centennial: it was built in 1918. Jaye performed the research, photographed the property and prepared the necessary documentation to nominate the Holden House, believing it a national treasure that should be acknowledged as such. The designation now qualifies the property for state and federal preservation grants, fosters local preservation and enhances the House’s role as an educational and tourism destination.
