[MassHistPres] Buying a Home with Historical Significance

[Roughan, Michael]

Pamela,

This won't answer your question but if you indulge me I have a question for you. I presume Waltham has pro-actively determined which structures in town are "historically significant ". Hopkinton has a blanket 75 year old eligibility criteria for our demo delay which we then reactively classify the applicant as "historically significant" or not. We want to do a town wide survey to establish our list of "historically significant" properties.

Can you recommend how we go about this?

Q: When a home is purchased that has Historical Significance, does your city or town notify the buyer about the historic significance and possibly then provide them with some history on the house,  perhaps some ways to preserve the historic feel and look to the house etc? Is there a way to do this, a way to provide a buyer with more information to preserve the history within the city/town? Do any of your cities or towns implement anything like this?
