Appeal delays finish on new Oakwood home
Louis Cherry began building his new home at 516 Euclid St. in December, but a neighbor has appealed, saying his plans don't fit the Oakwood style.

Louis Cherry began building his new home at 516 Euclid St. in December, three months after receiving a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Raleigh Historic Development Commission.
Last week, the Board of Adjustment voted 3 to 2 to reverse that decision in response to neighbor Gail Weisner’s appeal, filed in October. Discussion about the house has also prompted a review of Raleigh Historic Development Commission guidelines.
