RE: 154 Regent Street- Demolition and New Construction
Dear Tamie:
The Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation reviewed the proposed plans for the
demolition and new construction of the accessory structure at 154 Regent Street.
Located at the rear of the property, the existing accessory structure appears on the 1932
Sanborn Fire Insurance Map, confirming it is a historic structure. The Foundation 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 replaced
with modern garages.
Preserving original, sound, and repairable historic materials is preferred, and their
replacement is not recommended.
Thank you in advance for your thoughtful consideration.
Sincerely,
Michele Funicello Samantha Bosshart
President Executive Director
