[MassHistPres] Signage for National Register Hist. Districts

[Dcolebslade at aol.com]

Chris Skelly has sent around some photos, including that of  Westport.  The 
sign used to be at the entrance to the district,  but we added some 14 
properties "up the road" so you can turn right or left  and you are in the 
district.  The sign  is made of wood, hand  painted, legible from the road, on a 
corner which is private property but  the owner is on the WHC and is happy 
to let the sign be there.  It has to  be repainted and repaired every few 
years.

The State Review Board has recently voted eligible the nomination of the  
Canton Corner Historic District, and has sent it to Washington for the final  
review; and we hope approval of the nomination.  In anticipation of  
approval the Canton Historical Commission has begun to consider  appropriate 
signage for the HD, and wonder how other communities  identify their NRHD.
 
Is there one sign placed at a central location in the  District?  Do some 
towns place signs entering the District?  We  presume signage needs to be on 
town owned land.  
 
We are looking for guidance as to appropriate size and materials; also  any 
problems incurred with signage.  If you have photos to share, we  would 
appreciate receiving them.
 
Thank you in advance for any and all comments on this subject.
