Today, the Birmingham Design Review Committee tabled an application to demolish the Historic Villa on Highland Avenue.

In December, Bham Now reported that the historic home at 2931 Highland Avenue South was on the Birmingham Design Review Committee (BDRC) agenda for consideration of an application by current owner Jose Casanova to demolish the building and make way for the construction of a new six-unit apartment building.

The agenda item has subsequently been withdrawn several times until today, when all parties spoke to the committee. 

After presentations and discussion, the committee voted to table the application.

“The [Birmingham Design Review Committee] hopes that the parties will sit down and work something out that is mutually amicable for everyone.
