[MassHistPres] HIstoric Preservation Restrictions

[Stefan Nagel]

In addition to the previously suggested Historic New England, the formerly
discredited, now redeemed Trust for Architectural Easements (TAE) out of
Washington DC might (big "might") be able to help.  Like Historic New
England, TAE is a private non-profit and therefore will have certain
financial and programmatic expectations that would need to be addressed.

 

You could also approach some of your local land trusts whose purposes
include historic or cultural preservation.  They can be identified through
the websites of the Massachusetts Land Trust Coalition and the Land Trust
Alliance.  You might also contact the Boston office of the National Trust
for Historic Preservation.  While the National Trust is not likely
interested in holding CPA preservation restrictions, they may have contacts
with organizations that might be interested.

 

Good luck!

Stefan Nagel

Subject: [MassHistPres] HIstoric Preservation Restrictions

 

All,

 

The Community Preservation Committee (CPC)  in Dracut, Ma. has several
projects that require an entity or organization to hold a preservation
restriction on a CPC-funded project.  As these properties are town-owned,
the local historical commission or historical society (a lot of overlap
between the two groups) cannot hold the restriction.

We've checked with various historical/preservation organizations in Lowell,
who either don't want to hold the restriction or have no experience in
holding a preservation restriction.

 

I'm curious who holds the preservation restriction on historic preservation
CPC-funded projects within your community?

 

Thank you.

 

Betsy Ware
