Cross 70 Highland Street Hyannis, Massachusetts 02601 41.38N 70.17W (just slightly above sea level) Town of Barnstable Historic Commission June 9, 2022 Barnstable Town Hall 397 Main Street Hyannis, Massachusetts 02601 Dear Historic Commissioners, I am writing to you in support of William and Sherry Lawson’s application for a permit to raze their house at 133 Gosnold Street in Hyannis. I am a Hyannis native and my family has been on Highland Street in Hyannis since my grandparents moved their family there from Camp Street in Hyannis in the early 1920’s. I have made hundreds of trips up and down Gosnold Street in my seventy five years and can say with great certainty that the Lawson’s house is not a distinctive structure in any way. My wife and I lived at 133 Gosnold Street for a short time when our house was under construction. I have seen the house inside and out and can say that it has no unusual or notable architectural features. The razing of the house will not in any way damage the character of the neighborhood. I urge you to approve the immediate removal of the Lawson’s house. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thank you. Sincerely, Peter L.
