Comments I have followed the design updates to this historic property for
several months. The architectural character and uniqueness of
our town is essential to preserve, especially in mixed use areas
with residential and commercial use. I respectfully ask that the
design board reject the current proposed design and require a
design that is reflective of the NYS Historic Preservation Office
letter dated November 5, 2024. They “believe that the addition
would substantially alter the appearance of the historic building.

The proposal would likely only preserve the front façade of
Caroline Street, which is not a recommended preservation
approach. Siting of the addition, including the setback and open
piers extending to the east, also does not reflect the traditional
character of the historic district." Please respect and preserve
our history.
