Historic commission approves changes
“The Historic Landmarks Commission on Thursday gave its stamp of approval to façade changes at 118 W. Washington St., where a couple hopes to open a performing arts school.
Joyce and Arthur Tasby have owned the school, named Young People’s Guild School of Performing Arts, on High Street in Portsmouth since 1971. The property was recently taken by the eminent domain process for the Downtown Tunnel project, so the couple sought another location and recently purchased the building in downtown Suffolk, which is about 100 years old.”
