The Situation: Washington High School District Board 308 recently purchased 3.3 acres of land including a home rich in local history, known as the G.W. Bayler Residence, located at 721 West Jefferson Street, with intentions of demolishing it and replacing it with a school parking lot. We, the Undersigned, as Citizens of Historical Washington, IL, are Urging District 308 to: • Preserve the home at its current location. • Support the preservation of this house as historical landmark.

The conversation surrounding the G.W. Bayler home continues to grow as more residents share their memories of this property. While the district maintains its current plans, the depth of community interest ensures that this history remains a central point of concern for our town.

July 15, 2011

Seeing this many people recognize the importance of the G.W. Bayler home confirms that our town values its history more than a parking lot. This momentum proves that thoughtful preservation resonates deeply with those who live here. The focus now shifts toward ensuring the district board understands the public sentiment behind these signatures.

Are you kidding me? A parking lot?? Find another place to put the cars and leave the historic buildings alone.

Total waste of money to tear down something with character just to park cars. Bad move board 308.

My kids go to school there but we dont need another parking lot at the expense of our heritage. Save the Bayler home!

This house has been part of our town forever. Why destroy history for more asphalt? So sad.
