[MassHistPres] Contribution to Street scape?

[Wolf, Emily]

Robin,



In Boston, one of the five criteria for determining significance under our demolition delay ordinance refers to a building's contribution to the streetscape:



Section 85.5.3(e) states "...the building is one whose loss would have a significant negative impact on the historical or architectural integrity or urban design character of the neighborhood."



Best,

Emily Wolf

I am looking for information from anyone on a HIstoric or Historic District Commission who has had a hearing regarding demolition on a property that is a significant contributor to a street scape. That is, the building is a lovely old house on a street of properties of similar or older homes and though it is not to our knowledge associated with any significant persons or events would be a loss to the neighborhood.



We don't have an actual built date on the property but it appears to be 19th century at the very least - perhaps older.
