Urbanski and Hayes Preserve a Piece of Greenville History
Two A&M-Commerce alums are preserving history in Greenville, Texas. Robbie Urbanski and Travis Hayes, both educators, purchased the historic Pfaeffle Circle House on Park Street in Greenville in 2017. The home was built around 1905 by local jewelry store owner George Pfaeffle. Urbanski and Hayes are working to gradually restore the charming Victorian-style home to its original splendor. In a recent Herald Banner article, Urbanski said, “The home is loved by so many. It's a unique house. We love it and want to preserve it.” Urbanski has created an Instagram account for the Park Street house at THE_CIRCLE_HOUSE. Read the full article at Herald Banner.
