Carol Burnett’s Childhood Home To Be Saved as After School Learning Center

Carol_burnettThe childhood home of Carol Burnett is being saved. While not earth shattering news, it is pretty cool how it is being done. The home in San Antonio, Texas, was in danger of being destroyed to put a BBQ restaurant in it’s location. The combination of corporate and the American Sunrise Foundation is providing the money to move the home and let it be used as an after school learning center.

I do not know about you, but watching Carol Burnett with my parents growing up was a great introduction to comedy and humor. She had a big impact on my life and it is nice to see something from her childhood helping others.

The company reached an agreement last week with American Sunrise, a nonprofit housing and education program led by former U.S. housing secretary Henry Cisneros.
The nonprofit will cover the cost of dismantling the house into three pieces and moving it eight blocks to an after-school learning center for elementary school children.
Burnett’s famed career has included Broadway, movies and “The Carol Burnett Show.” She has often spoken of her memories of the house, where she lived with her grandmother until she was seven. via News 8 Austin
