Preservation Board Meets Tomorrow to Consider Modern Houses on Westminster, Other Items

The city's Preservation Board meets tomorrow. The agenda is available with full reports. The agenda features the usual preliminary review of new construction in historic districts, another case of vinyl windows being installed without a permit and several nominations to the National Register of Historic Places (including two on which I am coauthor with Carolyn Toft). There are no demolition permits on this month's agenda.

Perhaps the most interesting agenda item concerns 4257 and 4263 Westminster in the Central West End, where architect and Preservation Board member Anthony Robinson seeks to build two very modern houses.

The meeting begins at 4:00 p.m. in the offices of the Planning and Urban Design Agency, 1015 Locust Street on the 12th floor.

The new houses look good to me. Not all historic districts should encourage this, but the CWE district should encourage modern buildings of quality design.
