Part of the Daisey family home on Chestnut St. in Lewes was torn down Wednesday afternoon, providing a sense of relief for the Daisy siblings following a long battle with the Lewes Historic Preservation Architectural Review Commission (HPARC). 

A family seeking to demolish their home on Chestnut St. is hoping city officials will change their decision in declining the request.

Since December 2022, the Daisey family siblings have been in an ongoing dispute with the Lewes Historic Preservation Architectural Review Commission (HPARC) after requesting to tear down the house and build a bigger one on the double lot.
