Summary
The Historic Preservation Board of Delray Beach is reviewing a request for a Certificate of Appropriateness (HP-603-2026) concerning the property at 1122 Nassau Street, located within the Nassau Park Historic District. The request involves replacing the existing cedar shake roof with a composite shake roof to enhance durability and hurricane resistance.
