Please save this lovely historic house. JP has been losing far too many old structures.

Please reconsider saving 305 Chestnut Street in JP. This is a historic home with meaning for the neighborhood.

I grew up 2 houses down from this historic structure and it would be a true shame to see it knocked down and replaced with soul-less condominiums. Preserve our historic buildings!

We live 2 houses up the street. Have know the owner since 1983; please please preserve his home and his legacy as a journalist and historian. Please look up David Alan Mittlel, Jr. (and Sr.) - both important to the history of Jamaica Plain.

Please keep the historical homes and original builds in JP intact. We don't need to be filled with new modern designs (and the ecological impact) if we can keep existing structures!

In Michigan, where I grew up, buildings that are not modern, are torn down; their historic value is not taken into account. I have been under the impression that Bostonians have a different aesthetic. Yes, this building must be saved.

I’ve lived in JP for 33 years and knew the owner. I restored my home not nearly as old (1905) but there are precious few of these properties left for posterity

This is one of the most architecturally important historic structures in Jamaica Plain - and in Boston - and we have to save it!

I know that we can’t save every derelict 19th century house in Boston but this house is truly something special and deserves every effort made to preserve and restore it.
