[MassHistPres] new construction in local historic districts

Mon Mar 10 14:37:20 EDT 2014

Chris,
In two cases in Worcester, residential buildings will have been replaced by 
 an office building in the form of a Shingle Style house.  One, at 41  
Lancaster Street, has been completed.  Another on Elm Street is under  
construction.  The same architects, Tuck + Tuck of Bolton, designed  both.  If you 
look at their website, the sketch on the heading is more or  less what 41 
Lancaster Street looks like.  You can see on their site other  buildings they 
have designed, almost all of this general type.

I am  looking for examples of appropriate new construction within a local 
historic  district - specifically a new office and/or commercial building in 
a largely  residential district.  Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Brookline?s Pill Hill LHD has a  Latvian Lutheran Church (originally 
Swedeborgian) and a row house with a  neon ?jesus Saves? cross on it that is 
designated as a church.

When  St. Aiden?s Church, which the Kennedys attended, was closed and 
threatened  with demolition, Town Meeting directed the Preservation Commission to 
 initiate a study report for it as a potential single property LHD, over 
the  vociferous objections of the diocese.  Eventually the town and the  
diocese, both of which have strong traditions of creating affordable  housing, 
cosponsored a friendly 40B with a very high percentage of  permanently 
affordable housing, with the site retaining two huge copper  beaches and the 
church, albeit as a facadectomy containing the site?s only  high end units.

Dear Local Historic Districts
I'm looking for  some numbers: do you have a church in your LHD?
If so, please send your  town and name of your LHD to us.
We are working on a Polish Heritage  Local Historic District that includes 
a closed Catholic Church, Mater  Delorosa and can use some other LHD as 
examples for our City  Council.
Thanks for your time,
