Cottage in a Lake Worth Historic District to get restored (but it's a long, slow process)

Kevin Thompson at the Post has another item about the cottage on South 'L' St that will be getting a makeover. Here is an excerpt:

The property is considered a “historic resource,” meaning it adds to a district’s historical significance. In this case, that’s the city’s Southeast Lucerene [sic] Local Historical District.
Fairfax [Anne Fairfax, the owner] said she’s preparing a presentation for the city’s Historic Resources Preservation Board to review.
“I want to make sure (the property) has architectural integrity and that it contributes to the neighborhood,” she said. “The review is necessary to protect the character of Lake Worth, which is very fragile and can be easily disrupted.”

Lake Worth has 6 historic districts and you can view the map here. This particular cottage is located in the South East Lucerne district shaded yellow in the image below.
