I just purchased 146 main st in east Hampton and I did that because I disliked the traffic, noise, and light pollution in Manchester where I used to live. I moved to East Hampton because I think it's a great place to raise my 2 daughters and I feel like this would be a step in the direction of what I just left.
I believe my mom grew up in that house or the one next to it. It definitely should be preserved. I almost cried when I saw rambar was almost gone. My mom worked there too. I know things need to ve updated but its ashame things have to change.
This historic property is threatened by a zone change to expand a gas station the area does not need in a residential neighborhood that the neighbors who live here don’t want, where we are all on well water, to the benefit of a corporation in Dallas, TX.
This 1858 Italianate home is not in a state of disrepair. It does not need to be torn down under any circumstance let alone for a supersized gas station that will devalue all the homes in close proximity and historic Main Street and even the town of East Hampton as a whole.
It can make economic sense to retain historic buildings and Improve them to meet modern codes and requirements. Rehabilitating old buildings to their original appearance not only adds character to the area, but can also help attract investment, as well as tourists if the structures are historically significant.
Historic locations deserved to be saved for future generations to enjoy!
I use to live there wish it was for rent again

The buildings on the National Register are a once-in-a-lifetime resource for the town. Once it is gone, a piece of history has gone with it. Also, changing a small zone for the sake of a larger gas station, constitutes "spot zoning" which provides an unfair advantage for a commercial enterprise.
