[MassHistPres] Time to move a historic structure

[Roughan, Michael]

First, let me thank all of the respondents to my request for info on streetscape. I received a wealth of information.

Hopkinton is attempting to extend our demo delay from 6 months to 18 months. One rationale is to have time to get a single structure historic district enabled but the second rationale is to relocate the historic structure to a different lot. We had this specific issue with a great Italianate 2 story structure that was in the way of our library expansion. We actually had a developer who was interested in buying the house ($1) and relocating it to a vacant no-conforming lot but could not get the appropriate permits in line before the delay timed out.

Does anyone have a timeline for a successful relocation of an historic structure they could share?
