[MassHistPres] Flagpole color

[RobynBFernald at aol.com]

The Abington Historical Commission was approached by a  resident at our 
last meeting about his purposed plan to install a  flagpole/flag on Island 
Grove, our National Register of Historic Places since  2002.
The flagpole color became an issue. His plan includes a bronze  color 
finish on the flagpole. The AHC research indicated a proper  respectful white 
color prevails in the local, state and national  governmental levels. National 
Register pieces and National cemeteries throughout  the USA have white 
flagpoles. Dose the historic community know of any  bronze colored flagpoles 
located on any of the places the AHC  has mentioned. Are there specific 
guidelines to the color of the  flagpole?  The AHC has concerns to the his bronze 
color  preference as not being suitable  at all for our National site. 
Any information is welcomed and appreciated.
