Ideas for Levering Mill House?
Tell us in the comments section what business or activity you would enjoy seeing in the 85-year-old former library.
Usually at the end of the week, Narberth-Bala Cynwyd Patch highlights a retail vacancy and asks for suggested new uses.
This week, we're changing it up a bit, after a suggestion in a local Facebook discussion thread that Levering Mill House in Bala Cynwyd would make a great location for a bookstore.
Built in 1927, Levering Mill House is owned by The Woman's Club of Bala Cynwyd, whose headquarters is next door, near the corner of Levering Mill Road and Bala Avenue. It used to house the Bala Cynwyd Library and has been a senior community center, too.
The property is zoned residential, but a glance at Lower Merion's code for residential use shows various options.
So tell us in the comments section below: To what additional use should Levering Mill House be put? And what other vacancies in town do you have ideas about filling?

A Library Club. An experiment in a library run by its members. Members pay dues and access is limited to members. Members might serve as library assistants. Dues would pay for a librarian. It may or may not be computer catalog connected to the Lower Merion Library system. Books would mainly come by donation and would be kept or sold. It would be another library for Lower Merion but one that costs the community a lot less.
