Board Approves Major Revisions for 210 South King Street Historic Barn Project

The Leesburg Board of Architectural Review has taken significant steps regarding the future of the historic barn at 210 South King Street. During a recent work session, board members discussed the proposal to demolish the structure, which has a rich history dating back to its original depiction on the 1899 Sanborn insurance maps as a one-story building. A second story was added in the mid-twentieth century, reflecting its evolving use over the years.

In 2024, the board approved substantial revisions to the application, indicating a shift in focus towards preserving the barn's historical significance while considering modern needs. This decision highlights the board's commitment to balancing development with the preservation of Leesburg's architectural heritage.

As discussions continue, the board aims to ensure that any future developments respect the town's historical context and contribute positively to the community. The outcome of this proposal will be closely watched by residents and stakeholders, as it represents a crucial intersection of history and progress in Leesburg.
