Meeting Summary
1076 Canton Street - Partial Demolition and Restoration
-
•
The Historic Preservation Commission will review a Certificate of Appropriateness for the partial demolition and restoration of the historic structure at 1076 Canton Street, an application previously deferred. [Historic Preservation Commission Agenda p.1] [Historic Preservation Commission Agenda p.2]
-
•
The proposed restoration aims to maintain the building's historical character and safety, involving a phased demolition and restoration process, with staff recommending approval under several conditions. [Historic Preservation Commission Agenda p.2] [Historic Preservation Commission Agenda p.43]
-
•
A structural assessment revealed extensive moisture-related deterioration, inadequate support, and differential settlement in the c.1870 historic structure and a 1990s addition, leading to a request for full demolition and reconstruction to meet modern safety standards while preserving architectural elements. [Historic Preservation Commission Agenda p.28] [Historic Preservation Commission Agenda p.29] [Historic Preservation Commission Agenda p.36]
52 Goulding Place - Retaining Wall Replacement

The Commission will consider a Certificate of Appropriateness for replacing a decaying railroad tie retaining wall at 52 Goulding Place with a concrete block retaining wall, including the replacement of failing air conditioning unit pads. [Historic Preservation Commission Agenda p.1] [Historic Preservation Commission Agenda p.61]

•
Although concrete block is generally a disallowed material in the Historic District, staff recommends approval with the condition that the new retaining wall be screened with landscaping due to its minimal visibility from public rights-of-way and potential financial hardship for the applicant.
