RE: 195 Lake Avenue- Demolition and New Construction
Dear Tamie:
The Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation has reviewed the proposed plans for the
demolition and new construction of the accessory structure at 195 Lake Avenue.
Located at the rear of the property, the existing accessory structure appears on the 1926
Sanborn Fire Insurance Map, confirming it is a historic structure. The Foundation strongly
opposes its demolition, as accessory structures are vital to understanding the full history of
our city's development. Unfortunately, many of these historic structures are increasingly
threatened by redevelopment.
Preserving original, sound, and repairable historic materials is always preferred, and their
replacement is not recommended.
Thank you in advance for your thoughtful consideration.
Sincerely,
Michele Funicello Samantha Bosshart
President Executive Director
