Scenes from the past.

Historic Districts: 15 Frequently Asked Questions, Part 11

Q. Will I be forced to do extra maintenance on my property?

A. No, you won’t. The Historic Preservation Commission only has authority over proposed exterior changes, not over routine maintenance or matters covered in the City of Thomasville Minimum Housing Code.

Highlights From the December Meeting

The Commission held two COA hearings. The COA for 318 Spring Street was approved and the COA for 125 Salem Street was turned down.

Residents in the Colonial Drive School Historic District received support from the Commission in their efforts to bring back at the door mail delivery. The Commission passed a resolution supporting the efforts of the residents.

Restoration of the Historic Pepsi sign on the corner of Salem Street and John Thomas Way is back on track with a plan to fund the remaining $2,200 for the project between several groups in town.
