action was taken.

home to allow for it to be demolished. The HPB denied the request.

front elevation of the home.
1.04 On February 11, 2014, the HPB considered a Certificate of Appropriateness for whole house
rehabilitation, a change to the street facing facade and a new detached garage. The item was
continued to March 1 I, 2014, as the HPB considered the whole house rehabilitation to be a
demolition of the original 1926 home.
