COA2026-061 157 West End Boulevard Brick Walkway

Context

Certificate of Appropriateness COA2026-061 for Blake Habicht, 157 West End Boulevard (Jeff D. King House, contributing, West End Historic Overlay District 19): replacing the existing front walkway (about 16 by 6 feet) with salvaged brick reclaimed from a demolished 1920s house. Staff recommended denial because removing a historic walkway that connects the building to the sidewalk is inappropriate (West End Standard 1). The homeowner and a neighbor, Tony Ganious, spoke in favor; no one opposed.

Status

Continued unanimously on August 5, 2026 to October 7, with the applicant to find another use for the existing brick or document that the walkway is not original, by September 9. The October 7 agenda does not list this case, so whether it was resolved, withdrawn or delayed is unknown.
