Cristina Ross has written a letter to the Glass House team (and copied Town Hall) saying, basically, "you had your chance to save this house and you did nothing". While she is not specific in the letter, it would appear she is moving forward with her plans to build on the site.

Christy Maclear, the Director of the Glass House has responded by saying, "we urge you to use your considerable skills and talent to develop a compatible design for new construction that preserves the integrity of the Alice Ball House and respects the scale and character of the site. We have full confidence in your ability to achieve these design goals and we are pleased to offer the resources of our respective organizations to assist you throughout this process."

She then asks Cristina Ross to consider the following actions:
1. grant a preservation easement on the Alice Ball House to remove the threat of demolition and ensure the preservation of the property
2. Offer the Alice Ball House for asale at a fair market price.
3. Secure a new site for the construction of your new home.

It sounds like the preservation of the Alice Ball House is by no means assured.
