The Manatee County Commission unanimously approved the Johnson Helm House in Oneco, Florida, as Manatee County's first locally designated historic landmark. ^[1] Manatee County Commissioner Amanda Ballard said the County established its local historic designation process about 13 years ago, and the Johnson Helm House is the first property to complete it. ^[2] Margi and Pat Nanney moved into the 1908 Johnson Helm House in 1985 and spent 41 years preserving its original character. ^[3] The Johnson Helm House was already listed on the National Register of Historic Places before receiving the local designation. ^[4] The preservation efforts by Margi and Pat Helm were the primary reason for the house receiving the historic landmark status. ^[5]
