Item Title:
DEMOLITION - 20 WILLIS STREET
Item Detail:
13. COMMUNICATION/DEMOLITION REVIEW, Anne Louro Preservation Planner, to City Council, re: 20 Willis Street (Map 66, Lot 167), circa 1838, 2 ½ story wood framed building and circa 1910, 2 ½ wood framed building, the property is located in the Acushnet Heights National Register Historic District; the circa 1838 structure is associated with Clement C. Covell, a Master Mariner who, for a period time was part owner of the Bark Lagoda; the buildings have experienced acute alterations, resulting in a lack of historical integrity in their design, setting, materials, workmanship and feeling; due to the exterior alterations, the buildings no longer retain sufficient integrity to meet the criteria for listing and therefore, in light of these findings, the Preservation Planner has determined that the circa 1838 and circa 1910 structures at 20 Willis Street are neither Historically Significant nor Preferably Preserved structures. The Council may wish to note that the owner additionally intends to demolish the circa 1952 three story brick masonry additions, which once served as Union Hospital, because those building additions are not seventy-five (75) years old, they are not subject to the Demolition Delay Ordinance and therefore are not included in this determination.
