Lower Merion Township commissioners and the public were given a quick look at some of the planned renovations of the historic Ashbridge House in Bryn Mawr. The township-owned Ashbridge House is a Class 1 historic resource according to the township historical commission, and the Pennsylvania State Historic Preservation Office has determined that Ashbridge is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. The building is only used twice a year as a polling place. Renovation plans include making the space ADA compliant and using two floors of the building for the New Horizon Senior Center. Donna Heller, director of parks and recreation for Lower Merion, said “the best way to preserve a building is to have regular use within the facility.”
