Sox Owner To Wait To Demolish Brookline Homes

Boston Red Sox owner John Henry will have to wait to demolish two homes on the Brookline estate he purchased for $16 million in August 2007, the Boston Herald reported December 21, 2007.

"The Brookline Historical Commission voted last week to impose a demolition delay on Henry’s Sargent Road estate, after determining that the two structures he wants to tear down are historically significant."

In September, Henry filed paperwork at Brookline Town Hall, indicating plans to demolish the property’s 13,000-square-foot mansion and 5,000-square-foot guest (yes, the 5,000-square-foot home in referred to as a "guest house") house.

Apparently, his plan is to consolidate the four adjoining parcels and build one single-family home on the land.

But where will the guests stay?
