The Rowley Historical Commission is set to discuss an application for a permit to demolish the 1860s Greek Revival home at 34 Pleasant St. at its monthly meeting on Wednesday. The homeowner is seeking to raze the abandoned two-family home, which has been unoccupied for more than 20 years, and build a Colonial or ranch on the property.
The fact-finding meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Town Annex at 39 Central St.
