Fort Grounds becomes battle ground

Growing concerns that a Coeur d’Alene neighborhood, first developed in 1905, is losing its historical charm has led a group to push for code changes.

Located near Independence Point and City Park, the Fort Ground neighborhood is comprised of 119 homes and is listed as a National Historic District. However, recently built or remodeled homes that some feel have strayed from the historic roots of the neighborhood led Kevin Jester and other homeowners to protect the area from future development outside of historical standards.

“Change has occurred throughout the entire district,” Jester said/ Keith Cousins , Coeur d’Alene Press. More here.
