This historic structure should be saved

The facade of this building is rare (Greek revival).It's age makes this one of the oldest buildings in the neighborhood. Both provide great value to the variety and diversity of housing stock in the neighborhood. These justify preserving the house. Funds raised by the Community Preservation Act can serve a dual purpose here of both rebuilding a home and preserving a cultural gem.

How many more houses need to be demolished before we realize we are loosing the character and history of our neighborhoods and City. This is death to a City by a thousand variances. SAVE THIS HOUSE!

I worry that JP is losing its unique character to cookie cutter townhouse projects that leave no green space and usually get sold to more well to do people.

Preserve this beauty! The “process” is seemingly disconnected for the “people”.

Please keep the historical house on chestnut Ave. in J.P. and if sold have the buyers bring it back to its historical greatness.

Stop destroying history for more pretty cookie cutter units. Character in architecture adds character to the any hood. It creates conversation. I attracts questions. Made my hand by immigrants who were artisans from everywhere here. My parents grew up in that neighborhood in 1050s, triple decker was a cold water flat. JP has gone through many transitions. This is art. It creates value where it stands. Renovate , repurpose, reuse and recycle. You’ll still make a mint but preserve a piece of 1841.

It has always been one of my favorite buildings in J.P. It will be 200 yrs old in 20 yrs. Barbaric to demolish it.

Once demolished, all that history, craftsmanship and beauty disappear forever. It would be a travesty to let this happen in JP.
