Final September Preservation Board Agenda Now Online

Access it here.

Strangely, none of the demolitions referenced in my previous post that were listed on the Temporary Agenda are listed on the final.

Those included demolitions in Kosciusko, Old North St. Louis, Shaw, and Soulard.

I called the Cultural Resources Office to confirm this was not a mistake and was told that, indeed, the items had been pulled from the agenda. It appears that 10th Street in Soulard is to be deferred until October, which means it is still threatened. Montgomery Street in Old North was approved, likely via emergency demolition permit. And the person with whom I spoke was unsure of the status of the other two proposed demolitions.

I will post any further information as it becomes available.

(EDIT: I just received word from Michael Allen that the Cultural Resources Office approved the demolition of 1103 Montgomery in Old North St. Louis due to extreme structural failure. The building was on the verge of collapse.)
