Eviction battle over mansion center for emotionally disturbed children
Mrs. Constance Baker of Stuart Florida says she will sue to stop eviction of seven children from Duncraig Manor a 29 room mansion on 17 acres in Southern Pines North Carolina. Town officials deny the use of the property as the state approved Children s Treatment Center citing zoning laws and a pending amendment. The center opened last September under Rev. Cecil Brown of Fayetteville and faces a Friday vacate deadline after planning board and council actions. The town attorney says the move aims to preserve zoning integrity while Baker seeks court action to resolve the dispute.
