   This plan received unanimous approval from the neighbors in attendance at last night’s meeting of the Union Hill Historic Distric Initiative.

   We are drafting a letter of support and will submit it to ACORN next week.

   While it’s lamentable the home was not restored a few years ago when it was still in good structural shape, we are relieved that the rebuilding will begin swiftly and the new structure will feature surviving architectural details from the original structure.

   With ACORN’s sure hand shepherding this project, we are confident this plan will yeild the best possible outcome for the Union Hill community.

   In David’s words, “this will be a phoenix that rises from the ashes.”

   Elaine… while I am glad someone is going to try and salvage as much of the old and rebuilt the rest, the two front porches I believe are not period to the house? I may be wrong but know the embellishments there now are characteristic to a house built in the 1890s not 1830s. The first floor (which is actually the basement) didn’t have a porch when built but only what was on the first floor (now the second floor) after the roads were lowered as Bill pointed out and probably only a stoop type porch?
