[MassHistPres] demolition permit question

[melanie deware]

For those of you who may be following our news, Easton may be facing the demolition of our historic Shovel Shops/Ames Shovel Works complex.  During discussions, the question was raised as to whether "vacant lot" was a suitable reuse of the property as indicated by the owner on the demolition application.   We have heard many differing opinions on the answer.  Anyone know of any precedent that may help the Historical Commission (we believe it is not a suitable reuse)?
