In a letter to the commission, the project s architect asserted it will harmonize with the surrounding context.
The multi-family structures are intentionally designed to look like a series of individual buildings similar to the Indian King Tavern and other attached buildings along Kings Highway. said Josh Eckert of BartonPartners in Norristown.
.But Eckert also asserted the project does not require a certificate of appropriateness from the commission, in part because almost all of it will be outside the borough s historic district.
The development site does not face any of the designated historic streets listed in the historic district, noted Eckert.
