The city of San Marcos is still figuring out how to restore a historic house in the Dunbar Neighborhood. Kenn Zuniga tells us more in this Bobcat Update.


The address is two-17 West M-L-K Drive, and the house needs a lot of work.

The Cephas (See-Fuss) House belonged to prominent African-American Community Leader Ulysses Cephas beginning in the 1920s. Lifelong Dunbar Resident and Historian Ollie Giles recognizes the importance of restoring the house to the way it looked.
SB
(Stand-up) Since its purchase in 2003, it's been difficult for the city to break ground on the project because of funding. Now, the city is approaching the project in a cost-effective way.
SB
A goal that the city has been working on for eight years. Still, Giles is persistent and knows it takes time.

City officials say they hope to have the project complete by January of 2013. Reporting for Bobcat Update, I'm Kenn Zuniga.
