before again going to the Columbia
Zoning Board for an inspection of
their facilities.
Sister Kathy Riley, in charge of
the women's facilities, said the

property at 3423-3425 N. Main St. in
August 1978. At that time the
buildings were in a condemned
state.
The home applied for a building
permit and stated the buildings
would be used as a rehabilitative
shelter. They received zoning for
one year.
SISTER RILEY emphasized

Building inspectors returned to
the Providence Home in May 1979
and found about seven violations in

smoke detectors, no fire extinguishers
and no fire door at the
top of the stairs. The City Zoning
Board sent the Providence Home a
letter outlining these violations.
When Orien Zenoni, Providence
Home executive director, and
Sister Riley went before the Zoning
Board in August, 1979 they had not
corrected the violations because of
a lack of funds. They were given 30
days to comply to inspection
standards.
