Commission hears that 55‑acre Chester Road property is not on Avon landmark register; demolition could follow sale
Summary
Vice‑Chair Ralph White reported a citizen inquiry that 34402 Chester Road — roughly 55 acres — is for sale and not on the Avon Register of Landmarks, meaning new owners could demolish the house and barn; commissioners noted there are no preservation restrictions for unlisted properties.
During reports at the Jan. 14 meeting, Vice‑Chair Ralph White said he had received a phone inquiry from citizen Jim Schober about the status of the family property at 34402 Chester Road. White reported the parcel is about 55 acres, is currently for sale, and does not appear on the Register of Landmarks, leaving it without local preservation restrictions.
White said the neighboring barn, separately owned, also appears to be for sale and may have been part of the original parcel prior to subdivision. He said Schober plans to share White’s contact information with prospective purchasers who may inquire about historic status; the Commission did not take formal action to nominate or place the property on the register at this meeting.
