Around the block from Regina Payton’s home sits a once elegant landmark, the Rosa F. Keller Center and Library. Built in 1918 the former home was designated a historic site in 1986. Soon thereafter an annex was built to house a local library. Katrina put a halt on the library’s growth when the entire collection was flooded and the facilities were severely damaged. The neighborhood association, Broadmoor Improvement Association, hopes to fund a proposed “Education Corridor” initiative, turning the historic house into a community center with a coffee shop, video conferencing room, computer center and business center. Beyond the home, residents of Broadmoor will have access to a fully restored public library. HGTV and Rebuilding Together would like to aid in the completion of this community supported project.
How am I Historic? - The Rosa F. Keller Center is housed in a historic home, built in 1918. The nearby Andrew H. Wilson Elementary School was built in 1922 shortly after.
