More on the Akin House. CPC meeting tonight

Jack Spillane of the Standard Times has written a post on his blog here on the need for preservation of the Akin House. He also has a link to...

...a transcription of a letter from Jonathan Akin in 1778 to American officials (Franklin and Adams) in France asking for their help in returning him to Dartmouth following his capture and imprisonment by the British. He was pressed into service on an English ship and subsequently captured by the French. Jonathan was son of Elihu Akin the original owner of the 1762 structure on the corner of Dartmouth and Rockland streets.
The Community Preservation Committee will meet tonight to consider project funding recommendations including preservation of this house at 6PM in Room 103 of the Town Hall.
