Update on Katan's Eberhard Faber project
You may remember that the proposed Eberhard Faber Historic District leaves out a few parcels. Part of a development project by Isaac Katan, two of the three parcels on West Street between Kent and Java have been demolished (shown in the foreground, above, pre-demolition), while the third (in the left background, above)has been altered, but not dramatically. It may be sloppy reporting, but this article on funding for the project would lead one to believe that LPC is designating the Katan site along with the rest of Eberhard Faber. Certainly they should - even with the proposed alterations, the Katan properties are part of Eberhard Faber's history.
