Historic Ithaca — a non-profit organization founded in 1966 to promote the preservation of local buildings — will invite the Ithaca Community to discuss the process of landmark and historic district designation this Thursday.
The Nines intends to close its doors on Sunday, Oct. 7, after 40 years of business. However, the actual closing date will be when the restaurant exhausts its supplies.
The council was split 5-5 before Mayor Svante Myrick ’09 broke the tie with a vote of no.
“We are not Fire Station #9. We have not been [here] for 50 years,” Mark Kielmann, co-owner of The Nines property, said when he addressed the board before the vote.
Ithaca Common Council on Wednesday night designated a former grocery store on College Avenue as a local landmark, preserving its exterior and regulating modifications.
