Totally sour grapes. I hope they don't have to change their house either

Irishgirl knows the neighborhood and says the new one is out of place. Since she has seen it personally and not just in pictures guess I'll have to go with her assessment.

I'm curious if this was a knock down or this was an empty lot.

A truly ""historic neighborhood"" with truly ""historic"" buildings would be protected from this situation.

I think ""historic"" and ""old"" are being confused.

According to the article, Gail Weisner, the neighbor who filed the complaint, lives in that green house. It was built in 2008.

Edited for grammar. (But I don't see that her house looks so much better or historic)

I agree. The new house looks kinda the same - it doesn't look "modern" that it is out of place. Now...if they built this house there, Weisner would have a point

I think it is major sour grapes on Weisner's part or perhaps she wanted that parcel of land herself, as she is a REAL ESTATE agent. I smell an agenda here.

Oh yeah. That puts a different light on it.

me too...

I will also say that there are several views of the house in the pictures. I will go by the pictures and make my own opinion on that....not what someone elses' viewpoint.

also, based on the original article by the OP - this neighborhood has craftsman style homes - which are NOT Victorian. In fact, craftsman style homes were born out of a backlash to the fussy Victorian architecture.

I think you make a valid point here esme Now I am confused...except if there is guidelines/restrictions... to me that trumps whether the homes are just old.
