bloomington historic preservation commission

The City of Bloomington is refusing to recognize the Graduate Hotel building on Kirkwood Avenue as part of a local historic district, which means it won’t be able to sell alcohol.

Residents of Bloomington’s Green Acres are seeking historic protections for the neighborhood in response to a threat of five homes being demolished.

Hotel representatives appeared before the Bloomington Historic Preservation Commission last month to present their case for the designation. Their request was called "insulting" and "disingenuous."

A Bloomington city commission has postponed consideration of demolition requests for five historic homes on the city’s east side.

The Bloomington Historic Preservation Commission says the city council should approve a local historic designation for Lower Cascades Park.

The city's Historic Preservation Commission could proceed with a nomination in November.
