The developers who want to build a 9-story hotel next door to the Merchant's House on East Fourth Street returned to face the Landmarks Commission today. (Plans call for demolishing the one-level garage/repair shop adjacent to the circa 1832 Merchant's House.)Curbed's Jeremiah Budin was there. The developers discussed how the construction could occur without compromising the structural integrity of the Merchant's House.
And the end result? Another meeting!
The Commission found the presentation to be, if not completely convincing, very thorough. Ultimately, though, they decided that they would need more information, possibly from some sort of expert third party, to determine whether or not the construction would pose a real threat.

I'm guessing that the "expert third party" from whom the Landmarks Commission seeks "more information" is the mayor. As in, "what should we do, boss?"
Maybe the third party is Gertrude Tredwell, the ghost who lives there...
