We passed the site of 1241 N State Parkway today. The "140 year old" worker's cottage property was purchased for $1.5 million last year and torn down with some controversy. Some folks would have liked this home (and similar structures) preserved and I tend to agree in this case. One preservation group would like to landmark the greater Gold Coast.

Construction has not started yet.  It is possible the developer will look for a design and build client or still working on the details for a speculation build.
