Garvanza Improvement Association

Garvanza Improvement Association GIA has been around for over 100 years. It was restarted in 1985. GIA has been working hard over the last several decades to save historic properties.

The Garvanza Improvement Association was founded in the late 19th century. The GIA is now moving forward with the Highland Park - Garvanza HPOZ Expansion which should designate our area officially part of the Historic District within a few weeks!

6527/6529 Pollard Street Gothic Victorian duplex was purchased by Las Casas Realty. They have taken out dormer windows on both the East and West sides of this full contributor to our district. They have also changed the original window massings on several windows that were original from wood to vinyl. And also altered the massing dimensions by making the windows smaller. A violation of the HPOZ guidelines.

All areas facing the curbed street of the exterior of a full contributor must follow the Secretary of the Interior Standards for HPOZ. Eliminating or altering any door or window massings without the permission of the HPOZ board is not acceptable procedure.

Someone has filed a report to the HPOZ board. Will be updating.
