At the April 23, 2014, meeting of the Historic Preservation Commission, the Commissioners voted to designate the property at 227 N. Ivy Avenue as a city historic landmark. Two weeks later, on May 6, the City Council concurred and gave final approval for the property (which will also have a Mills Act contract) to become Historic Landmark #130.

Follow the progress as Monrovia's oldest carriage barn is reassembled at its new location. To recap: The carriage barn originally located behind the 1889 Queen Anne Victorian at 131 E. Greystone Avenue was dismantled in April, 2013. The cost of the dismantling and removal to its new location was born by the 29 donors who contributed to the project. The cost of the reconstruction will be undertaken by the family on whose property the barn will be re-erected. Work on this effort is being overseen by MOHPG member Jimi Hendrix. The pictures below chronicle the dismantling and relocation of the barn and its ongoing reconstruction. |
