Historic house may be saved if owner changes plans

Historic houses mean a lot to a community, and more than one local resident hopes the Hamlin-Johnson House at 1322 S.E. 282nd Avenue can be saved.

Alice Duff, a member of the city's Historic Resources Subcommittee, wrote a letter as a private citizen to Fred and Elizabeth Asa, new owners of the property, who had planned to demolish the home to make way for a subdivision.
