We OPPOSE the Streetscape Plan to bulldoze and destroy ANY PART of the Gardens at Highspire to build a PARKING LOT. Leave this unique 1894 Victorian Residence and its attached Gardens AS IS. Preserve this irreplaceable and beautiful treasure of Berkeley Springs for the enjoyment of future generations.
I have submitted a formal request for the blueprint modifications to the planning department. We are currently waiting for a response regarding the projected impact on the Victorian architecture of the gardens.
June 3, 2008
The recent increase in support has provided the necessary leverage to request a formal meeting with the city planning department. We are currently drafting a letter to the zoning board that outlines our legal arguments against the destruction of the Victorian site.

Disgusting. They just care about money instead of preserving the history that makes Berkeley Springs special.

This place is the heart of our town. Paving over it would be such a huge mistake.

My grandmother used to take me here. It would be a tragedy to lose such a historic spot.
