[MassHistPres] Historic Restrictions

[Harry LaCortiglia]

A query to the listserve members,

Can anyone provide me with some information regarding Historical 
Restrictions under MGL CH. 184?

When Historic Structures are preserved using CPA funding under Ch. 44b 
the law would seem to require a deed restriction to run with the land.
While I'm somewhat familiar with Conservation Restrictions under this 
chapter, ( having done a few of those ) I'm somewhat at a loss to know 
what organizations/entities would be qualified to "hold' an Historic 
Restriction . Would the local Historical Society (a private 
organization) be able to do so? What's the typical endowment to such 
holders these days?

Any info that anyone could provide to me would be helpful, as I seem to 
have a great deal to learn about these types of Restrictions.

Best,
