Rebuilding the front porch at the Yellow House Community Arts Center, 209 W. Trish Knight St., began Saturday with a volunteer work day during which deteriorated framing was removed and replaced. More than 15 people helped that day with the porch rebuilding, paint scraping, yard work and other improvements. The group’s goal is to make lasting improvements to preserve the integrity of the 119-year-old house so it will be a structurally sound and safe community arts center, said Donald Peachey, president of the not-for-profit organization. “Restoration of the Yellow House is a major undertaking that is only in its beginning stages and it's off to a good start,” he said. “We are extremely grateful for the generosity of the volunteers and donors in this community that make it possible to continue the mission of the Yellow House.” According to official Yellow House history, the house was built in 1903 by Will Zorn, who was publisher of the Howell County Gazette and postmaster of West Plains from 1915 to 2022. Volunteers at work, from left: Tim Roehl, Peachey, Andrea Ingalsbe, James Seiber and Bill Oakley.
