The City of Webster Groves Historic Preservation Commission met on May 12, 2026. The meeting included approval of a demolition request for a deteriorated 1922 house at 16 Hamill Avenue, which was approved unanimously. The commission discussed ongoing efforts to digitize historic property documentation, noting a recently approved contract for scanning and archiving these records. Budget considerations were addressed, including a motion passed to empower the chair to request funds from the city council to print historic walk brochures, with an estimated budget of $1,500. The mayor provided updates on city projects and initiatives, but no new procurement actions were reported beyond the digitization contract and brochure printing funding request.
