Ely potter Illian guides historic preservation efforts in town
Illian, a 64 year old potter and member of the Ely Historic Preservation Commission, leads preservation work in Ely. The commission helped place the Dows Street Historic District on the National Register in 2003 and now targets the Ely Community Center for national recognition while preserving the town’s small town identity amid new growth.
