Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

SPRINGFIELD With the recent demolition of the Allis Mansion on the campus of Mercy Medical Center, Robert McCarroll, member of the Historical Commission, believes that a demolition delay ordinance will be a way to forestall the destruction of other historical buildings.

McCarroll explained to Reminder Publications that unless a building is located in a local historical district, it doesn't have much protection from being demolished without some sort of review or consideration,

"Only a local historic designation gives really strong protection," he said. Buildings that have been named to a National Register Historic District are not afforded the same level of protection.

The ordinance is now at the City Council and McCarroll is hopeful action to make it law will take place. If enacted, the ordinance would protect a building for one year.

He added the Historic Commission has been working on the ordinance "for a while," and that 100 communities in the Commonwealth have similar laws.

If such an ordinance had been in place, the demolition of the Allis Mansion would have been delayed, giving more time to find potential developers.

Although McCarroll said he believes the administration of Mercy medical Center made "a good faith effort, the time line was very tight." A developer would have to have been prepared to undertake an estimated $3 million renovation of the building.

He called the demolition of the mansion "a major, major loss."

July 11 To the Editor:

This proposal (building parking decks at Worth lot and on Parrott Avenue) puts the cart before the horse. The council, of which Ms. Nancy Novelline Clayburgh is a member, voted to explore suggestions of the Portsmouth Listens study circles, which carefully analyzed the situation. Downtown parking would be considered if nothing else works. Wasn't she listening to everyone who thinks garages in any form downtown must be off the table until other options are fully explored and found unworkable?

I have been following the Twitter posts of @Parkportsmouth, which keeps track of activity at the High-Hanover parking garage. Now, during the busiest days of the year, the lot does indeed fill up for a couple of hours every day at lunchtime and again at the dinner hour. It isn't full most of the rest of the time. Even the night of the fireworks, it emptied out by 9:45 p.m. In all cases, whilst driving around the city for the express purpose of checking where I could meter park, I found 38 places between State and Congress streets, including Market Square at 1:30 and 5:30 and yes, the streets were packed with tourists enjoying themselves. I'm sick of this issue, which is really a non-issue. Park just outside the city, if you must. A short walk draws one into the feel of the city. It should be a pleasure, not a chore, as many would have us believe. I will not even address this fantasy garden because every time I try to picture it, I get the giggles, Slides, swings, trees? Come on. Give me a break!

Porches. occupy a space between what frontman Aaron Maine calls "booty clap" and "sad rock." To wit, the opening line off "Headsgiving," the first track from the Brooklyn quintet's upcoming full-length debut: "I give you head / Before you head to therapy." Maine doesn't lighten up much afterwards, either. As the track's supple guitar and ramshackle drums beat on, he sings about statutory rape, wanting to die, and the cyclical, spiraling nature of depression! Porches.' first LP,Slow Dance in the Cosmos, arrives August 27 via Exploding In Sound Records. Until then, sample "Headsgiving" below.
