Why this matters in Frisco News

As a community that values historic preservation, Frisco residents may be particularly troubled by the damage to a historic Victorian-style building. The incident also serves as a stark reminder of the potential risks associated with older buildings, some of which can be found in Frisco's own historic districts.
