[MassHistPres] small town graphics

[Roughan, Michael]

Does anyone have graphics / photos / presentations on the character of a small town streetscape? In Hopkinton our downtown area is under pressure to morph the 18th/19th century vernacular buildings to a 21st century version incompatible with existing. There are already some missing teeth that were filled in by poorly designed commercial facilities.

I would love to make the case that preserving the character of the existing streetscape can actually be a business advantage rather than allowing indiscriminate replacement and lose any sense of identity.
