[MassHistPres] DATE FOR ANTIQUE DWELLING

[Deborah Bier, PhD]

We have recently moved to a minimum 50-year age. I wouldn't 
necessarily say "antique" is the same as "historic."

I think there can be instances where something "historic" occurs in a 
house (owner, event, etc) that makes it historic at a much shorter 
span of time. Some things and people (including pieces of 
architecture) that can become historic very quickly.

For example: I would say the very day of the Concord Fight in 1775 
the North Bridge was historic, even though it wasn't probably very 
old.

best,
Debbie
