Ms. Britin Bostick and City of Georgetown
Re: Letter of Intent to Demolish 309 S. Walnut St.
Dear Britin Bostick and City of Georgetown,
The owners are requesting demolition of 309 S. Walnut Street due to its poor condition and overbearing
costs to fix the foundation. They would like to design a new home that will fit within the old town
guidelines and better contribute to the character of the neighborhood and the streets.
Per discussion with Ms. Bostick, we will be providing supplemental information in the coming weeks.
Yours truly,
Gary Wang, AIA
