[MassHistPres] Historic Homeowners Booklet

[Electa Tritsch]

A particular thank you to Chris for pointing us to the "Homeowner's
Handbooks" section of the Boston landmarks publications. While a
publication on this scale may be beyond the budgets of many smaller
communities/ organizations, the tone, range of information and
down-to-earth approach are great examples.

The city of Boston did several of these handbooks for neighborhoods
about 10 year ago.  Chris.

Dear Preservationists.
 
I ma considering working with a Historical Commission on which I serve
along with a non profit which has
a preservation mission to develop a homeowners' booklet. It would
include sources, local history information - along
with some dos and don't on renovation and maintenance - a general guide
and reference - partly to generate some
appreciation, provide some orientation prior to undertaking irreversible
changes which can detract from a home or
neighborhood's historic features and appearance. The request is a
revival of prior initiative which never really got off the 
ground, but there seems to be more support now. To those who responded
several years ago, Sorry to impose again,
But would still appreciate your help even if I am asking you to send
something twice. I would be interested in any suggestions,
experiences, and Particularly, any examples which you use in your town
or city.
 
Thanks again
 
Jay Gaffney
