Historic Preservation Commission 03/10/2026

The City of Webster Groves Historic Preservation Commission held a meeting on March 10, 2026, primarily discussing updates on local historic property projects and related ordinance considerations. Key procurement-related discussions included the decision to proceed with asphalt shingles for the Ruth of Hawin House roof replacement, which reduced costs by approximately half and will be funded without city assistance. The commission also approved a design application for 483 Eastwood Avenue, indicating progress on that project. Additionally, the commission reviewed ongoing council discussions about protections for historic districts, particularly regarding front-facing garages, with further research and ordinance updates anticipated. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were made during this meeting, but the discussions reflect ongoing capital improvement and preservation efforts affecting future procurement activities.
