Does any Historic District allow cement pavers in their districts?
I am on the Old & Historic District Commission in Marblehead.  About 10
years ago, the Board allowed the cement pavers as they were marketed to be
longer lasting and have the same look as the clay bricks.  However, we are
finding that the cement pavers fade over time and look like cement and our
present Board is strongly against them. We are struggling with homeowners
with this issue at present.  Please let me know how your Historic District
feels about the cement pavers.  Thank you.
