Stone Harbor Seeks to Remember Old Homes

By Vince Conti

STONE HARBOR – Speaking of the large number of demolitions that occurred in the borough in recent years, Stone Harbor Council member Raymond Parzych commented, “After a while, we never remember what was there.”
Parzych’s comment sparked a brief discussion at the council’s April 2 work session. 
The borough’s $4.8 billion in property valuation came at the cost of frequent demolitions of older, and often modest, homes. The council’s discussion focused on finding a mechanism by which photographs of homes scheduled for demolition could be taken for archiving by the Stone Harbor Museum.
While no decision was made, the most likely scenario is one in which the application for a demolition permit triggers action, possibly by the museum, to take and archive a photographic history of homes and locations before they vanish.
