Historic Preservation Commission approves Henrys garage addition
The Historic Preservation Commission granted final approval for a Henrys garage behind their Chesterfield Street home after a special meeting due to a lack of quorum. Neighbors voiced concerns about compatibility, but experts noted a 5 foot elevation reduction and adherence to the district’s historic character. Construction plans remain with the same contractor, aiming to blend with the Stoney home built in 1871.
