[MassHistPres] new construction in local historic districts

Mon Mar 10 14:16:13 EDT 2014

In our Pleasant Street Historic District, we recently approved, after many
hearings, a rebuilt parish house adjacent to an 1844 church building.  It
actually replaced (and somewhat expanded) a 1950's brick building in
semi-colonial style, that didn't really go with the church building.
Construction is now in process.

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,
