Historic District Commission

Historic District Commission reviews four COA requests for fences, façade and new home

The Goldsboro Historic District Commission will hold a public hearing to consider four Certificate of Appropriateness applications: an eight‑foot metal fence at 134 N. John Street, demolition and replacement of a storefront façade at 106 N. Center Street, a fence extension with a gate at 219 N. John Street, and new single‑family construction at 311 S. John Street. The commission also notes that the COA for Saint Paul Methodist Church (CA‑09‑25) remains tabled pending an engineer’s report.

✓ Decided: Commission tables 8-foot fence request, denies Laughing Owl facade changes

The Goldsboro Historic District Commission tabled a request for an after-the-fact certificate of appropriateness for an 8-foot metal fence at 134 N. John Street (Jeffreys Building) until its July 7, 2026 meeting, voting 5-1. The commission also denied a certificate of appropriateness for facade changes at 106 N. Center Street (Laughing Owl), finding the proposed work would remove character-defining features. Two other fence requests were approved: a 5-foot fence at 219 N. John Street and new construction at 311 S. John Street.
