Commission approves adaptive reuse of 1921 warehouse at 1 Cherry Street
Summary
The commission approved an extensive adaptive reuse for 1 Cherry Street—converting the Manuel Brothers warehouse into a single‑family residence with restored windows, a sunroom, and a greenhouse skylight—while preserving masonry arches and other character‑defining elements.
Counsel and the design team presented a plan to convert the Manuel Brothers warehouse (c.1921) at 1 Cherry Street into a single‑family residence featuring restored and relocated windows, a rear sunroom, and a low‑profile greenhouse skylight. Commissioners emphasized preservation of key masonry arches and the intent to restore existing fenestration where possible; staff confirmed the project included a historic report and appropriate restoration measures.
Commissioners generally supported the adaptive reuse as a way to return the building to active use while preserving character‑defining features. The motion to approve carried unanimously, with the commission noting that the proposal will retain arched brick detailing and repair original windows where feasible.
