Dorchester Illustration of the Day no. 1586
The hearing on the demolition delay for 15 Grant Place took place last evening at the Boston Landmarks Commission. The hearing has two parts – the first answers the question whether the building merits a demolition delay, and the Commission voted in favor of the demolition delay. The second part considers whether there may be reasons that the delay should be waived. The Commission voted in favor of a waiver based on reports of oil leakage into the soil supported by an environmental report that says taking down the building is the most feasible of all the options in devising a plan to remove the contaminated soil.
For today’s illustration we have a seeder or seeding machine that is among the artifacts in the Clapp Family Barn at the Dorchester Historical Society.
