Demolition of Conrad House Moves Ahead
The Conrad House demolition will proceed once contractor George S. Whitacre is ready as Winchester Parking Authority chair Richard J. Martin announced. City Solicitor J. Randolph Larrick’s legal opinion backed WPA, stating the Board of Architectural Review lacks jurisdiction over the demolition permit since the house is not on the final historic list, and the BAR appeal belongs to no proper body. The Board of Zoning Appeals approved this view and will not place the issue on its March 17 agenda.
