[MassHistPres] Demo by neglect of town owned building in a NRD

[Mike Potaski]

In Uxbridge we are trying to save the circa 1760 John Farnum House (a recent historical survey showed it to be about 50 years younger than previously thought) Unfortunately, we are being opposed by the Capital Improvement Committee which controls the money.

Good Day,

I am asking if anyone has had experience in trying to save a town owned building, that is being neglected so it can be torn down.  We have a DDB and the building is part of our only NRD.  I realize that the NRD doesn't prevent this.  I looking for a path to fight this, if possible.

Thanks, Janice
