[MassHistPres] Modern Home Historic Districts

[Charlotte Barrett]

Hi Joel,
Norwich, Vermont, is in the process of nominating a mid-century modern district to the National Register. I'd suggest you contact Sarah Rooker, director of the Norwich Historical Society, for more information: sarah at norwichhistory.org<mailto:sarah at norwichhistory.org>.
Best,
Charlotte

Subject: [MassHistPres] Modern Home Historic Districts


I live in a neighborhood that is considering proceeding with the creation of a Local Historic District.



The neighborhood consists of a group of mid-century modernist houses, built in the early 1950's.



What would be really helpful, in relation to our consideration of proceeding with this, is to find out if there are any other Historic Districts in Massachusetts that protect modern houses?



Or perhaps about any neighborhoods like this outside of Massachusetts where a local historic district has been created?



We'd love to have a chance to see their study reports, designations and guidelines.



I know there are a few scattered modernist homes that have been places in single lot historic districts in Massachusetts, but I'm not sure whether there is an actual separate, contiguous Historic District protecting a neighborhood of modern houses.



If any of you have any information you could pass on, that would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks.



Joel Freedman
