MONROE A local church has secured approval to demolish one of Monroes oldest homes, one of the few remaining antebellum houses in the city.
And while St. Pauls Episcopal Church has not decided whether it will proceed with demolition, the potential for such a move has left some neighbors aghast at the prospect of seeing another piece of Monroes history vanish.
The Laney-Lee House, at 202 E. Windsor St., dates to 1858. The two-story frame home was built for A.A. Laney, a prominent merchant and cotton planter who was Monroes mayor in 1865, the year the Civil War ended.
This is not just some old house. Its one of the only pre-Civil War houses still in Monroe, said Theresa Eaman, who lives near the property and created a Facebook page trying to rally people to save the house. Do we want to end up like Charlotte center city, where theres nothing left of historic value?
The church, which sits across the street from the 4,635-square-foot house, received the home as a donation in 1989 and used it as a rectory until 2008. It has been vacant since then.
St. Pauls is still considering all options, including demolition, finding someone who wants to move the house or rehabbing it, said Dick Brainard, the junior warden at the church who is in charge of the building and grounds. He said church leaders will present the parish with options for the site, likely by next spring, before deciding how to proceed.
If the house is no longer at the site, he said, the church might use the property for a garden where people could meditate.
Brainard understands the neighbors concerns, but added, Weve got to do what we can afford. The house has been in disrepair for years.
An order delayed
On Oct. 13, the citys Historic District Commission unanimously approved the churchs demolition request but delayed that order for 180 days to mid-April. Under city ordinances, the boards only options were to grant immediate approval or an approval with the delay, said Doug Britt, senior planner for the city.

MERIDEN Though demolition is largely complete at the Church & Morse site on South Colony Street, the former hardware stores foundations are set to remain in place for the foreseeable future, city officials said Friday.
Associate City Engineer Brian Ennis said a small amount of asbestos was uncovered during the demolition, the removal of which is delaying the completion of work at 33 and 51-53 S. Colony St.
No one knew it was there, Ennis said, but that will be abated early next week, and then it appears all they (the Massachusetts-based contractor NASDI Corp.) needs to do is clean up the site. The asbestos is fully contained in the area and creates no hazards for passersby, he added.
Public Works Director Robert Bass said the footprints of the buildings will remain where they are until the city hires a contractor to build a channel redirecting the formerly underground Harbor Brook.
Removing the buildings is part of the larger downtown flood control plan, which includes unearthing and redirecting the brook. The city also razed the buildings to offer better access to the railroad bridge behind them. When work is done, the site will be green space in the city, Bass said.
A new contractor would be hired to remove the foundations and build up the next phase of the work, which involves building a culvert adjacent to the railroad bridge to the north of the buildings, Ennis said. Currently, the bridge causes Harbor Brook to back up during major rainstorms and pushes water downtown, which has resulted in major flooding.
You can see how low the (steel) beam is on the Amtrak bridge; you can see how thats a choke point for the brook, City Manager Lawrence J. Kendzior said Friday.
We wanted to get the buildings out of the way, but the rest of the project is all dependent on the funding, Ennis said. This initial phase was $565,000, according to a permit issued for a project that matched the bid submitted by NASDI. Designs for the next phase should be drawn up and sent out to bid this winter, with construction beginning in the spring, Ennis said.

Crews complete Church & Morse building demolition in Meriden

Demolition of the former YMCA and Stone Insurance building at 88 State St. in Meriden began Monday to make room for a parking lot for a new train station on the New Haven- Hartford-Springfield rail line. Work in surrounding towns in preparation for new train stations is also underway.
Demolition of the State Street building follows the award of a $58.8 million station construction contract to New York-based Judlau Construction, announced by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy last week.
John Bernick, assistant rail administrator at the state Department of Transportation, said Monday that the state received six bids for the work and accepted the lowest bid, per state regulations. He added that the DOT follows explicit regulations to go with the lowest bidder in selecting contractors and does not have the leeway to select contractors based on location or other factors.
The contract includes building stations and platforms in Meriden, Wallingford and Berlin, in addition to site work and the demolition of the Meriden building. The demolition will clear space for a 79-space lot on State Street.
Construction on the stations will begin this fall. They are expected to be complete by late 2016, when the entire rail service will be launched, according to a statement from the governors office.
The rail project means improved track and signals along the 62-mile corridor, upgrades to bridges and culverts to accommodate double tracking, upgrades to at-grade crossings to enhance safety, improving existing stations and building new ones, and providing new train equipment.
Improvements at the stations will include high-level platforms on both sides of the tracks, overhead pedestrian bridges with new elevators and stair towers, platform snow-melt systems, electric vehicle charging stations, ticket vending machines and passenger information display systems, PA and high-resolution video surveillance systems, as well as improved access and parking from the street, according to the statement.
Bernick said construction is based on the contractors schedule, but would likely begin this fall before pausing over the winter, and then starting heavily in the spring. While construction is underway, local roads will be in various stages of closure.
