Hey, good idea McCormack — build the appartment complex and have the locals who have trouble keeping up their own homes move into your complex. Then you can get/take their homes, fix them up and make big money from individuals seeking to make the town their homes — Bait and snatch.

If the developer, Mr. McCormack, is upset discussing details about his project, where does that leave us? The site plan is part of the building package, and it makes a differance how the building looks when it is done. Further, having public input during the historic review process sounds like a GREAT IDEA. Last thought: Be careful how the GYM is going to be developed, as it relates to the historic guidelines. Will it be left as a single large space, or chopped up into many smaller cubicles?

As noted in the article, we are looking for pictures of Cape Charles High School to determine the style and materials of the original doorways, transoms, and windows. Most views of the school cover the front of the building but we would appreciate photographs of any side of the building. Please note that we will copy the original and return it to you, or you could provide a copy. If you have any pictures please contact me at davidg23310@gmail.com. Thank you in advance for your support in rehabilitating and preserving this historic landmark.
