A 132-year-old brown shingle house in North Berkeley bears an interesting history, but doesn’t warrant landmark preservation status under the city’s preservation laws, the City Council decided on Thursday.
The decision clears the way for the Payson House at 1915 Berryman St. to become a residential townhouse development with 10 units.

About 70 Berkeley residents appealed the decision of the landmarks commission to the City Council. The January 21 appeal hearing was held remotely.
