To: Historic Commission Members
Planning and Zoning Commission
City Council Members
We support the establishment of the posposed historic district.
We purchased the property at 808 Douglas Avenue in January 1954
when we came to make our home in Ames. We have every hope and
intention of remaining in this home as long as we live. Even
though we are 87 years of age, (Leroy) and 81 years, (Alice)
we expect to continue to live in this location and we feel that
the creation of an historic district would not only enhance the
value of our property but would protect the nature of the area
which we feel is a desirable one.
In the past several years we have watched with pleasure the
renovation of a number of houses in this area and we are confident
that this type of improvement will continue if the historic
district becomes a reality. We also believe that such a district
would be an asset for the entire city of Ames.
We ask that you act to create the historic district.
Signed
Leroy D. Lillie
