Demolition Stopped - 204 High Street

I first mentioned 204 High Street a few weeks ago - right here - great comment thread. The demolition has been stopped.  A member of the Preservation Board asked me to participate in a conversation about triage and managing the increasingly larger number of really cool and totally viable houses, owned by the City, that remain threatened with demolition.  After stopping this demolition, I was asked to join a special Preservation Board sub-committee.

While tooling around a few parts of the City over the weekend, I noticed this cool view of 204 from a little knoll on Michigan Avenue. Cool place - here's the slideshow, again. I'll keep readers posted about the Preservation Board sub-committee's work.

Meanwhile if you have additional ideas regarding the growing list of City-owned houses that are threatened with demolition, please share your comments below.

Mike,

Good work. Like to be able to share the list with a wider audience.

Major push for volunteers with digital cameras to document street-by-street, house-by-house. Collect data, organize it and get it back to GNPA and folks downtown. Comprehensive strategy and triage.

Very positive meeting with Pres Board people, today. Stitching together a broader strategy.
