Should the interiors of historic buildings be protected?

A plan to save the interior of the historic Boyd Theater will be debated at today’s 1pm Philadelphia Planning Commission meeting. City Council will have the final say on the proposed ordinance change. But supporters of amending the Philadelphia code are hoping for a strong endorsement from commission members. The plan seeks to grant historic designation to the public interior portion of buildings. Under current law, only the exteriors of buildings can receive historic protection.
