A historic 133-year-old home in East Hill, Pensacola, will be preserved for now after the Architectural Review Board denied a demolition permit on Thursday. Developers had planned to demolish the home and build two new ones on the lot, but the board cited the lack of an essential engineering report and the code's emphasis on protecting historic structures. Residents were relieved with the decision, saying the home's unique architectural style had significance to the neighborhood. The developers are now considering alternative plans to maintain the original structure while constructing a new home on the lot.
