This historic home was slated to be razed and replaced
by a suburban-style Walgreen's
The firm behind the design for the proposed Walgreen's that would go in place of an historic building on Martin Luther King Boulevard across from the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption have written letters to City Hall asking that those plans be removed from the agendas of the Urban Design Review Board and the Board of Adjustments indefinitely. The property on which the Walgreen's would be built is owned by the Diocese of Covington. In emails obtained by The River City News to two city employees from Anne McBride of McBride Dale Clarion, the firm hopes for more time to review the site. The separate letters were sent to Historic Preservation Officer Beth Johnson and Zoning Specialist Andrew Juengling.

Previously, the plans were expected to go before the Urban Design Review Board last week but were pulled just days before.
