Clemency appeal to save a threatened historic alley building

I have launched a petition "Historic Preservation Review Board: Vote to preserve 1322 9th Street as a contributing historic structure." and am asking for your help to save this building from destruction. It has not been able to protect itself.

Please take a little time to read the petition, reflect on the issue and consider your decision about signing it. It will take very little of your time.

Why the petition is important:

This building (1322 9^th St. NW) is part of a collection of nationally recognized historic buildings in Naylor Court and Blagden Alley (National Register of Historic Places). The alley collection has been dismantled piecemeal over past decades through demolition by both neglect and intent. The alley’s story and historic legacy is progressively vanishing. In this case, the owner’s neglect is potentially being rewarded with permission to destroy the evidence of that neglect. It’s just not right.

Thank you very much!
