[MassHistPres] Public-Private Partnerships in Historic Town Owned Buildings

[Dennis De Witt]

This has been addressed more than once on this list serve.  It would  
be very helpful if Chris had one of his helpful lists of all the  
examples that have been offered to the previous requests.

In Brookline we have an art center in an old fire house, a music  
school in a town owned house on a school property, a special needs  
residential program in another town owned house and the Larz Anderson  
Auto Museum in a Town owned grand carriage house both on park land,  
the historical society in a house on the grounds of another school.
