Demolition Delay on Colonial Court Home Ends Jan. 19

The planned demolition of a fieldstone-clad house on Colonial Court that some in town have called architecturally significant is slated to go forward Jan. 19, according to the most publicly available information. 

Though town officials on Nov. 12 imposed a 90-day delay on the demolition of the 1933-built house at 9 Colonial Court, that delay lifts Jan. 19. 

Following the Historical Review Committee’s 4-0 vote to delay demolition in hopes of preserving the two-story, three-bedroom house at the end of the cul-de-sac, which runs west off of South Avenue near the downtown, the appointed body’s chair, Mark Markiewicz emailed the owner’s daughter to thank her for “participating in our endeavor,” according to a Nov. 15 email.
