To the Medford Historical Commission:
The house at 16 Manning street should be preserved!
Built in about 1870, it is one of the oldest houses on the street. It retains its basic shape and size and fits well into the streetscape. It sits on a foundation in good condition made of bricks, which were very likely made in one of the close by Medford brickyards. The house as a whole is very well maintained.
The house at 16 Manning together with the other houses on Manning and Touro streets was found to be eligible for a National Register Historic District as indicated on the MHC Area Form entitled Touro-Manning Area. This supports its historic importance not only in terms of the surrounding neighborhood, but also the city as a whole.
Given its age, how well it fits into the streetscape, its condition, and its importance in the history of the neighborhood and the city, this house should not be demolished!
As residents of the city of Medford, we ask you to find 16 Manning preferably preserved.

We need to maintain our cultural and architectural heritage in Medford. As a longtime Medford resident and taxpayer, I strongly believe the house at 16 Manning St should not be demolished.
Possibly made with Medford bricks? There’s a reason to save it. You can’t buy a house made this well anymore..
Developers outside of Medford don’t care about the character of our town. A wise zoning development plan is needed that prevents destruction of important houses to make ugly multi family boxes.
Please save this Home!! Too many being demolished
Please save this historic house !
Please do not allow the demolish of 16 Manning St
Please consider these kinds of irreversible decisions carefully and not undermine Medford's architectural and historic heritage. Thank you!!

The Historic District Commission and City Council is working to create a "South Street Historic District" to protect many pre-civil war properties in the neighborhood. The property at 16 Manning St contributes to the South Street neighborhood that is currently undergoing a transformation, and I feel this house meets all the criteria to be designated as preferably preserved.
