Pittsfield Historical Commission unanimously approves demolition of vacant 1880 Bradford Street residence. Mia Giardina of Allstar Excavation presented the application for the wood-frame single-family home, uninhabited for a decade, which sits alongside a commercial building that will remain. In separate business, staff member Kevin Rayner reported that a local historic district study committee petition for the Park Square district has cleared the Ordinance and Rules Committee and advances to City Council; if approved, he will recruit board representatives and at-large members.
The commission reviewed a feasibility study for the state-owned William Russell Allen House and authorized formation of Friends of the William Russell Allen House, a non-city advocacy group to explore emergency repairs and secure funding.
