Background
Individual House Registration
Many downtown buildings are singularly significant in
historical terms because of their architectural style, their
relationship to notable persons or events, or perhaps, just
for the fact that they have for some reason survived.
Individually, each of these structures represent a link to
the city's past. Collectively, they make up the townscape
which people identify with so strongly and which has
contributed to this town's remarkable revitalization over the
past decade.
Most of these buildings are either commercial or
institutional. The key point is that there is a growing sense
of stewardship for these buildings by the private sector. It
seems to me that this Commission can be proud of the role
which it has played in in this effort to restore and
maintain the architectural integrity of the downtown area.
It also seems to me that while focusing most of its attention
on the downtown area, the Commission has, as an organization,
had less of a sense of purpose or mission with regard to
the residential neighborhoods which extend outward from the.
downtown.
effected residents.
neighborhoods which include outstanding examples of colonial
residential architecture. When in the past, other residential
areas have been considered for district nomination, there has
been a quick and decidedly negative response from many of the
Important work required for the nomination of a historic
district has been done by individuals serving on the
Commission in several of the town's oldest surviving
It seems to me, that it is appropriate that the Commission
foster the idea that the responsibility of owning a home
includes some responsibility for maintaining the
architectural integrity of that home. Each house is important
and contributes to what planners refer to as the fabric of
the street and the neighborhood. We are currently doing this
through the Preservation Awards. But I think we could do
more.
I am convinced that if our objective is to enhance the
community's collective and individual appreciation for its
homes and neighborhoods, we will be most successful through a
program which fosters individual pride and awareness.
Persons who have taken the time to research the history of
J their house are more likely to view both it and their
neighborhood in a new context.
i
Program
�E The responsibility to do the research should be on the
homeowner.
Applicants for a date marker should at a minimum, submit
documentation indicating the chain of title to the home as
recorded in the Registry of Deeds.
,E Supplimental data might include early maps, wills,
newspaper accounts, e -t-o— r -��Y'� J P-,
The home should be substantially intact (but not
necessarily restored) in order to be elegible for a date
marker.
�F The home should be 50? years or more old.
In instances where the exact date of the construction of
the house is not possible to determine, a "circa"
designation might be used.
Y"�cWy �a
x In order to promote the program and to educate.persons on
I how to do the required research, we may want to consider
holding periodic workshops.
I would recommend that the marker be a simple, rectangular
white marker with the date of the construction of the house
only.
