[MassHistPres] house with preservation restriction destroyed by fire

[Dennis De Witt]

It is a single family lot at the end of a suburban side street where the houses are ca. 1920.  The remains of the previously much-modified ca. 1830s house have been razed.  Nothing remains.  The site is to be redeveloped.  Apparently the proposal is that there be design guidelines in the spirit of  . . . what?  . .  and why?
