Historic Indeed

321 Main Street Amherst, neighbor to Emily Dickinson 

While the current parking lot reconstruction probably would have distracted Miss Emily from her writing 130 years ago (although her room was on the other side of the neighboring Homestead, farther away) this does demonstrate rather concretely that the new Amherst Local Historic District is not a hindrance to owners within the district doing basic maintenance or renovations on their property.

And since local landscaper Taylor Davis is doing the work, safe bet it will be completed within the next week, in plenty of time for the students return.  

Even better: I'm told Rob Morra, the new building commissioner, is very easy to work with, helpful and proactive.  That too is historic.

UPDATE: Saturday morning 8/18/12 Parking lot finished and operational
