The HDC also gave unanimous support to creation of a new historic district that would include the 13 houses on Lincoln and four adjacent houses on Riverside Avenue.

R#8220;The impact of the proposed building will be extremely detrimental to the historic neighborhood’s character and streetscape for homes built in the 1800s and the early 1900s,” says a statement the HDC voted unanimously to relay to the Planning and Zoning Commission.

“It’s practically a miracle that this street is still intact, and we’d like it to stay that way,” said neighbor Joan Miller, with the project calling for the demolition of several structures, including the oldest house on Lincoln.
