Catalano House to be Rebuilt

I was pleasantly surprised to hear, from a number of reliable sources, that the Eduardo Catalano house looks like it will FINALLY be re-built. The site is situated on a small plot of land close to Dorthea Dix which is currently owned by NCSU. This is the latest in the long line of attempts to rebuild the iconic/revolutionary mid-century house, with the others failing due to various reasons including, but not limited to; serious project mismanagement by the previous NCSU administration, the simple mindedness of a few misinformed students, and the selfishness of the NC Art Museum officials. With the possible exception of Dorton arena, the Catalano house is the finest example of architectural innovation to ever be seen in North Carolina. Hopefully this reconstruction attempt will fair better than those of the past.
