According to an A.P. report, the Friends of Hamilton Grange have decided to drop their suit protesting the direction of the 206 year home.
The neighborhood group agreed Tuesday to drop its court fight complaining that the Federalist-style home was going to face the wrong direction.
A National Park Service lawyer has said delaying attaching the house to its foundation could damage the home, which will overlook St. Nicholas Park.
[Matthew] Brinckerhoff, (a lawyer for the Friends of Hamilton Grange) says neighborhood residents don’t want to imperil the house.
The group will continue with their lawsuit to try to prove that the government improperly made decisions about relocating the house. The home could be dropped on it’s new foundation as soon as this weekend.
