The recent LPC decision designating The Willoughby-Hart Historic District as an official city landmark comes after more than three decades of residents' efforts, culminating in a passionate public hearing and a unanimous 'yes' vote.
"Landmarking was essential for preserving the history and architectural integrity of these homes," said Lauren Cawdry, owner of Willoughby General food store, emphasizing the significance of the recent landmark designation.
The newly designated Willoughby-Hart Historic District, known for its brownstones in various architectural styles, holds a significant historical value with homes passed down through generations and built to last with materials like bluestone and brick.
