The Historical Commission... Liked this one? Weirdly? Maybe that means it isn't all concrete:
‘Overbuild’ projects planned to turn historic Freeman’s auction house and Nelson Building into condos
Quote:
Plans at that property, which the auctioneer has said it would soon depart, involve the demolition of adjacent nonhistoric structures at 1806 Chestnut St. and 112 S. 18th St. to allow for the construction of a 14-story tower that would rise above and behind the facade of the 1820s building.
Historical Commission staff recommended that the project, which calls for limited demolition within the auction-house property, be approved.
“Though the addition is not compatible in massing, scale and proportion, the application proposes to retain much of the historic building’s exterior envelope,” staff members wrote.
