History and A-Half

Shown below: (Top, left) Ann Wilson (left) and architectural historian Nora Lucas, with a plaque commemorating the listing of Wilson's Brook Street house (rear) on the National Register of Historic Places. Bottom, right is the half-built house next door, at 609 Brook Street, the completion of which has been stymied by neighbors, including Lucas, who argue that its construction would adversely affect the historic character of their neighborhood.
