Each of these demolition requests threatens the integrity of this recently-designated district, which was finally accomplished after 15 years of organizing, fundraising, and volunteer service by many neighborhood residents. We ask that Commissioners oppose these demolitions and that property owners are advised of the historic district, the value of these properties if preserved, and are informed of their options in renovating rather than demolishing these houses. Thank you for your dedicated work in supporting our city's historic character.
