The Glasgow City Council approved a motion Monday to sell the Dickinson-Greer house on East Main Street.

One of the oldest homes in the city, it has been under renovation for the past several months. In July 2006, the city received a $150,000 Renaissance on Main grant to fund the work.

Plans were to use the facility as a public meeting area, although nothing concrete was set.

“We felt like, by the city owning it, it was an extra expense,” said Glasgow Mayor Darrell Pickett. “I wish we could have used it for something.”

Pickett said the money was used to renovate the home’s exterior, such as installing a tin roof, which was part of its original facade.

Since the home is included in the city’s Renaissance Historical District, Pickett said there would be certain restrictions placed on the new owners regarding remodeling work once it is sold at public auction.

The mayor also recognized the hard work put in by the renovation committee, specifically co-chairs Ralph Wilson and Benny Dickinson.

“It was a big project,” Pickett said.

The house was built in the early 1800s and was purchased by Dickinson’s ancestor, Thomas Childes Dickinson, in 1832 for a stated consideration of $500.

Its final occupant was Delvaux Dickinson Greer, who resided in the home until his death in 1998. He inherited it from his parents, Jeanne Dickinson Greer and Paul Greer.

Barren County Judge-Executive Davie Greer said her husband Jerry has ties to the home and family. His father was first cousin to Paul Greer.

After Delvaux Greer’s passing, the house descended by his will to Jeanne Delvaux King and T.C. Delvaux Jr., and to Paul Greer’s heirs, Jerry Greer and Deane Smith, according to “A House is Built: History of the Dickinson-Greer House and Lot.”

The new owners soon sold the property to A.F. Crow & Son Funeral Home. A portion of the property was used for additional parking before the home was donated to the city in 2001.
