Help save our neighborhood history

On Thursday, April 24th the Historic Resources Board (HRB) will decide whether to designate eight potentially historic properties on Fifth, Sixth and Thorn in Bankers Hill. If the Historic Review Board does not designate, all of the structures will likely be demolished to make room for a proposed high-rise development. Historic reports have been prepared for each building, and they’ve been recommended for historic designation. However, because of the supra-majority vote requirement of the HRB, it often only takes one negative vote to prevent designation — and permit demolition.
Please attend this meeting if you are able. The threatened properties are 2900 Sixth, 2901 Fifth, 2950 Sixth, 3330 Sixth, 3340 Sixth, 504 Thorn, 516-522 Thorn and 540 Thorn Street.
