Major/Minor Work Wednesday is a semi-regular feature that takes a look at recently filed applications with the Raleigh Historic Development Commission.
Today’s certificate of appropriateness application project is not one that was filed recently, nor is it merely a single application: it is many. Fortunately, its name is not Legion. Located in the historic Boylan Heights district on a street that confused even Google Maps, 503 Cutler is a brand-new, 2,500 square foot, two-story, 32′ tall home situated on a once-vacant .15 acre lot. The initial major work application — it was followed by several more, both major and minor, hence today’s odd headline — was filed in August of last year. The most recent was filed just last month.

Our two demolitions for today are for residential homes, a subject we don’t normally cover here. However, both were, in a sense, nontraditional homes, so we thought we’d give them a quick look. First up was a $10,000 teardown for a 3,479 square foot “manufactured home not in park or court” located at 11904 Leesville Road. The demolition is actually part of a larger project, first detailed in rezoning case Z-3-15, which was approved by the City Council in May of last year. In March of 2015, the developers, Leesville Land LLC, appeared before the Planning Commission to discuss the case.
