than likely somewhere I will someday live.” His mother agrees. “I drive through Fourth Ward now with great pride,” says Browning. “What a beautiful place!” The House at 324 W. Ninth Street became known as the Berryhill House. PHOTO FROM THE JLC ARCHIVES The Berryhill House still stands in elegant grandeur on its sprawling lot in the center of Historic Fourth Ward. The current owners, Susan and Loy McKeithen bought the home from the family who originally purchased it from the League. “The McKeithens have done a great job with the place. It’s absolutely beautiful,” says Browning. Full of charm and homes that display a sort of architectural history of the United States, Fourth Ward is a gem of an example of how to meld design from different decades; everything from ornate Victorian Queen Anne, Italianate and Spanish Colonial Revival, to classic Craftsman from the 1800s through the early 1900s. Buildings from the 1970s and 1980s encompass the contemporary design ideals of the day. The newest additions to Fourth Ward include modern, transitional, contemporary and traditional construction single-family homes and townhomes, as well as state of the art high-rise condos. The ever changing face of Fourth Ward is part of the vibrant energy that has returned to Uptown Charlotte. Today there is a renewed interest in Center City living. Short commutes, walkability and urban renewal are all things that are important to many people who live in Charlotte and other U.S. cities. It makes one wonder if the people involved in the Fourth Ward revitalization knew this was the trend that was developing, or if they were the catalyst for change that started it all. 5800 SARDIS ROAD | CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA 28270 | 704.887.6000 | WWW.PROVIDENCEDAY.ORG Providence Day School exists to inspire in its students a passion for learning, a commitment to personal integrity, and a sense of social responsibility.

The Dream Team Meet the New JLC Leaders BY NATASHA WITHERSPOON The flowers are blooming, our clocks are springing forward, we’re exchanging winter clothes for the hottest spring fashions, and it also is time for the changing of the guard in the Junior League of Charlotte, Inc. (JLC). The nomination process began last October with the Straw Ballot in which JLC members can self-nominate or nominate other members for vacant positions on the Board of Directors, Management Team and Nominating Committee. The Straw Ballot includes questions specific to the vacant positions. The Nominating Committee then began the huge task of determining the best fit for candidates with the open offices. Stephanie Simon, vice chair of the Nominating Committee, says the effort is made to place most candidates in a role. Professional skills, League placement and even transfer members’ leadership experience are all factors in making decisions for a slate of officers. At the March General Membership Meeting, the League’s slate of leaders for President-Elect, Board of Directors, Management Team and Nominating Committee was approved. The newly approved leaders are a diverse team of women coming into office with different committee experiences, varied lengths of service in the JLC and from many professions. The one similarity is all of the women have an unwavering commitment to serving the Charlotte community and an understanding of the dedication required of a JLC leader.
