[MassHistPres] Alternatives to demolition

[michaelamoran1]

I am a realtor who specializes in selling historic properties. I have been
in the business for 19 years, and my partner, Nancy C. Evans has been
working as a realtor for nearly 30 years. We sell mainly in the Metrowest
area but also have sold as far west as Petersham and as far east as
Belmont/Cambridge/Somerville/Charlestown. In other words, we're not afraid
to travel for historic homes. We would most certainly appreciate being added
to your list of competent agents.

I have also served on the Acton Historic District Commission for 20 years.

Here's a great model that other states should follow: Indiana's "Adopt a
Marker" program
 
http://www.in.gov/history/2349.htm
 
But, it's not what you think.  Instead of asking individuals or
organizations to pay money to the state government so that state employees
or contractors can repair the markers, the "Adopt a Marker" program in
Indiana  . . .
 
- Lists marker in need of repair and includes a recent photo of the marker
- Has instructions on how repairs should be made
- Shows before and after photos and credits the individuals or organizations
who made the repair
 
And it's all online.
 
Wonderful in every way, right?

Any chance of a program like that here in Massachusetts?
 
Any place online where one can see the list of markers in Massachusetts?
 
Best--

In Shrewsbury, Mass., the Gershom Wheelock house (1752) - photo below  - 
will soon be bulldozed into splinters.  
 
To provide an alternative to demolition, our local historical commission  
would like to provide property owners with the names and contact information

of  firms that move, dismantle, or salvage old houses.  A preliminary list 
is  attached to this e-mail.  Recommendations of other firms would be  
welcome.
 
We would also welcome recommendations of realtors who specialize in selling 
 old houses, as well as publications or Web sites that are devoted to 
selling old  houses.
