[MassHistPres] preferably preserved

[james hadley]

The best guideline I can think of here is, "when in doubt, act to preserve." The developer will be thinking exactly opposite to this.

Hello,                Mendon’s DDB states that the HC determine whether a building is historically significant.  This house meets the criteria of age and association with people significant to the town’s history.  It does have considerable structural damage.  Do other towns take the cost of renovation/restoration to a developer into consideration when determining preferably preserved?  Thank you, Jane Lowell From: David Ottinger [mailto:davidottinger at hotmail.com]

Subject: RE: [MassHistPres] preferably preserved Hi Jane Lowell,
If you don't mind my asking: what is the context and meaning of the term "preferably preserved"?  Is it different from the concept of conservation?
Thanks,

Subject: [MassHistPres] preferably preservedThe Mendon Historical Commission is having a hearing to determine if a building should be preferably preserved.  This hearing is a first for the HC.  What criteria do other commissions use to determine if a building should be preferably preserved?  Any advice will be appreciated.                                                                                                                                                                               Regards,                                                                                                                                                Jane Lowell    Mendon HC
