womens-building-tylerTYLER – The United Way of Smith County has been given the Woman’s Building on South Broadway in Tyler. They held a news conference Tuesday to discuss the gift. The building’s board of directors gave United Way the deed and the keys to the historic Tyler Woman’s Building, which was constructed in 1932. It is currently listed on 3 historic registries: The United States, The State of Texas, and Smith County. United Way of Smith County has outgrown their current facility and for many years has been in searching for a new home. Fitzpatrick Architects has been hired to assess and develop plans for the United Way’s new building, and preserve a Tyler landmark. The next steps include raising the additional funds needed to complete the renovations and rezoning the property.

At Tuesday’s news conference, Build United Capital Campaign Chair, Joey Seeber said they still need to raise $498,819 to complete the renovations. He said they have been over whelmed by the positive response they have had from their donors about this change in their plans. And he added they “want to be sure that the community knows we need their help to complete this project.” According to Seeber, “We want to make sure we do this right. This building should be here for another 84 years once we complete the restoration and renovation work.”
