Mr. & <br />Mrs. Fournier also indicated that they were not aware that their house was <br />listed until recently. Mrs. Fournier does not understand how it is still <br />considered historical. <br />Mr. Kelland then asked Mr. &Mrs. Fournier why they want to remove it <br />from the list. He also explained that by being on the Inventory the house has <br />a better chance of being protected preserved as part of Lexington's built <br />history. <br />Ms. Zimmerman explained that certain houses on Cedar Street are intact and <br />still have historic architectural significance even though renovated. Time, <br />place and state of the development are what make these homes historically <br />significant from an architectural standpoint. <br />
