The home, owned by Drs. Amy and Sidney Fletcher, will be decked out for the holidays by some of Charlotte’s top interior and landscape designers, florists and home decor retailers. Pianists from Presbyterian Hospital’s team of volunteer musicians will perform.
Proceeds from ticket sales and the event’s gift shop will benefit the Mecklenburg Medical Alliance & Endowment, a nonprofit dedicated to improving the health of Mecklenburg County’s residents.
A press release from the MMAE detailed highlights of the home’s history: Prior to the Fletchers, owners of the home have included several Charlotte families as well as Old Dominion Beverage Company (1943) and Queens College (1962). The home was a Queens dormitory before becoming the President’s home in 1967. The late Queens president Billy Wireman and his wife, Katie, lived in the home.
When I was a student at Queens, I remember attending several parties at the beautiful home when the Wiremans lived there, so I’m excited about getting a chance to go inside again.
