Historic Zoning Commission - April 21, 2026

The Historic Zoning Commission of Murfreesboro, TN, convened on April 21, 2026, to review two key items related to historic property modifications. The commission approved a request by Jim and Kim Schultz for the installation of a no-dig style wrought iron fence at 331 East Main Street, noting its compatibility with the historic district despite its temporary nature. The commission also considered a demolition request for a historic home at 435-437 East College Street submitted by Thomas Holden Jennings. After reviewing detailed inspection reports and cost estimates, the commission voted to support the demolition based on economic hardship criteria, acknowledging the significant renovation costs and the property's deteriorated condition. The meeting concluded with the approval of minutes from previous sessions and adjournment.
