The deteriorating West Goshen house in “imminent threat of danger” that has been at the center of a preservation fight will be demolished, a Chester County judge has decided. Chester County Court Judge Anthony Verwey found that “rehabilitation of the buildings is not feasible” and approved the demolition of the property. The appointed conservator of 905 Westtown Road said demolition could occur within 30 days. It’s a blow to advocates in the community who have been rallying to save the privately owned home, which has fallen into disrepair.
