[MassHistPres] Fitchburg Tiffany Stained Glass

[Judy Neiswander]

According to MACRIS there is a preservation restriction on this building as
of 06/26/2007. Am I correct in believing that this means that exterior
changes must be approved by MHC? I also believe that stained glass is
considered to be part of the exterior wall when it is clearly visible from
the outside. It might be a good idea to contact Michael Steinitz at MHC and
also Virginia Raguin at Holy Cross (vraguin at holycross.edu). She is a
national expert on stained glass.

Good luck,

Judy Neiswander, Dedham Historical Commission
