Elyria aims to exclude YMCA and library from historic district
A Washington Avenue stretch from the bridge to Marrison Street is proposed for exclusion from a new Elyria historic district. Solicitor Pete Shilling says the area includes the YMCA and Elyria Public Library, which he deems nonessential, while preservationists argue other nearby buildings are historically important. The Planning Commission previously approved designating the Washington Avenue area within a district that would include Ohio, Columbus, Harrison, Hamilton and Glenwood streets.
