Name: Bart Everson
City: New Orleans, LA
Specific
property
affected:
314 N Gayoso St
Comments: I would like to suggest an alternative to demolition for 314 N Gayoso Street, New Orleans LA 70119.

The specific alternative I would like to suggest is: renovation.

The owner should feel free to contact the Mid-City Neighborhood Organization if he or she needs help figuring out alternatives to demolition. MCNO is forming a housing committee to address helping property owners who may be confronting difficult problems renovating historic properties such as this. The MCNO website is at http://mcno.org/

This house is part of the distinctive housing stock of a national historic district. Please don't tear it down. I live two blocks from here and feel that tearing this house down would diminish the neighborhood.
