State Court Exempts Church Height Limit

Supporters of the proposed Armenian Church on Brattle St. have received the backing of the Superior Court in their efforts to construct an edifice which would exceed the allowed building height in the residential area.

A variance on the building code which makes special provisions for educational and religious institutions was issued locally, but a group of citizens living in the area protested the award last spring.

These proceeding have been viewed with considerable interest, since the question of variations on the building code will be of vital importance to the University.
