Courthouse Square Historic Preservation Commission - Aug 3, 2026
The 2021 recessed storefront with a roll-up garage door at 1006 East Jackson is being replaced with a storefront flush to the facade, which preservation staff say better fits the historic streetscape. It's part of an effort to make the heavily altered, noncontributing building look more cohesive.
