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.    ….Mike    Michael Roughan,AIA, EDAC, LEED AP, ACHA Chairman - Hopkinton Historical Commission    Town of Hopkinton 18 Main Street Hopkinton, MA 01748
