[MassHistPres] DATE FOR ANTIQUE DWELLING

Tue Apr 4 12:43:08 EDT 2006

Somerville's Demolition Review Ordinance uses 50 years as the threshold
timing, which essentially covers most buildings, including garages, barns
and carriage houses that recently are cropping up for review a lot, in the
City at this point!

Brookline does not use a specific year, and can potentially declare any
building architecturally or historically significant.  This allows for the
protection of architecture of more recent vintage.
