Revive 65 Phila
For more than 20 years the Foundation advocated for it and its neighbor at 69 Phila Street to be preserved. On March 24, 2021 the Design Review Commission unanimously opposed the demolition of 65 Phila Street.
This win not only preserves our historic architecture and history, but will improve the neighborhood by removing blight; increase property tax revenue that provides support for police, fire, schools, and infrastructure improvements; create jobs; and, most importantly, demonstrate the importance of preservation to our community.
The Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation will Revive 65 with environmental remediation, completing necessary structural repairs, and installing a new roof. In addition, the rehabilitation will include repairing and painting the clapboard as well as restoring windows and the front porch. Once the building is stabilized and the exterior is restored the Foundation will sell it to someone who will complete the interior and be a good steward for years to come. Any proceeds from the sale will enable us to take on other special projects that benefit our community.
Due to the high demand of contractors, the rehabilitation project at 65 Phila Street, did not move forward as initially hoped. Summer 2022, ERSI completed the large task of interior demolition of the main structure. Fall 2022, preliminary work was done to restore utilities. Winter 2022, bids from contractors were secured and awarded for major aspects of the project. An early start to spring meant that work was able to begin sooner than anticipated and continued throughout Summer 2023.
The Foundation will continue to provide regular updates in our e-blasts and on social media! We appreciate your support to Revive 65!
