Can a historic property in Lower Merion require additional review before remodeling?

Yes, when the property or district is covered by Lower Merion’s preservation framework and the proposed work falls within the applicable review scope. Local historic districts generally involve HARB review for covered visible exterior changes, while certain listed resources outside local districts may be reviewed by the Historical Commission. An older home is not automatically regulated; the property’s designation, location, and remodeling scope must be checked first.
