Historic Zoning Commission

Fourth and Gill:

10-L-01-HZ

Staff Recommendation

APPROVE. Retention of the wrought iron posts, which probably date from the late 1940's or early 1950's, would be in keeping with the guidelines, which do not require alteration of existing materials, even if they vary from original design.
