Subject: [MassHistPres] Alternate uses for Town-Owned Historic Homes

 

The Norwell Historical Commission is looking for alternate use suggestions
for one of its town-owned historic homes.  The home is down a little-used
dirt road that parallels Route 3.  It is set on 3 acres that abut the North
River and is surrounded by about 100 acres of conservation land.

 

There has been support for selling the property, but that would come with a
number of restrictions as the Norwell Historical Commission is required to
preserve and protect the site.  A committee has been formed to investigate
alternate uses that would keep it town-owned.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions for similar town-owned remote properties?

 

We appreciate any and all suggestions,

 

Wendy Bawabe

Norwell Historical Commission
