Joston House local historic landmark nomination
La Crosse
Description
Nomination 26-1116 to designate the century-old Colonial Revival Joston House as a local landmark, accepted 4-2 despite owner Aquinas Catholic Schools' opposition; final decision November 17.
Impact summary
If ultimately designated, the house's exterior could not be altered or demolished without commission review — a direct constraint on Aquinas's plans and a win for neighbors worried about losing housing.
