From the Chair of the Board:

I very enthusiastically greet our valued members and supporters, as the newlyelected Chair of Preservation Mass. Together we can take pride in the accom-plishments of this organization and the active role we play in preservation of ourcommunities and historic resources.

Over the past few years, Preservation Mass has endeavored to extend itselfand its resources throughout the Commonwealth. The culminating realizationof this action was the Regional Advisory Council, our network of preservationprofessionals who are the physical representations of our advocacy mission inlocales from Provincetown to Pittsfield. The RAC was a special project of pastchair Maury Childs, whose contributions and leadership will be recognized atthe dinner on June 30th. As the statewide preservation organization, our focus,our impact and our concerns are Massachusetts as a whole. The growth ofPreservation Mass into a stronger, all-encompassing statewide organization willbuild upon existing partnerships and new connections.

Our relationships across the Commonwealth have been cultivated by promot-ing and advocating historic preservation a topic as important today as it was inits infancy 40 years ago. The contemporary issues of sustainability, smart growthand open space conservation require our commitment and action to influencepublic policy. Historic Tax Credits are tools that demonstrate the viability ofpreservation as more than simply rhetoric but also the cornerstone of economicdevelopment. Preservation Mass, along with the Preservation Coalition, isworking to strengthen our state Historic Resources Tax Credit, so that this greatpreservation tool can be utilized to its fullest potential and greatest benefit toMassachusetts. We will continue to work closely with our preservation partnersto bring the benefits of the Community Preservation Act to additional cities andtowns throughout the Commonwealth.

Preservation today is more than bricks and mortar; it is about the relation-ships that manifest themselves when people of various backgrounds and disci-plines are working toward a common goal. This year our Annual AwardsDinner will celebrate the very relationships that make preservation viable anddynamic. The Boston Red Sox and the City of Boston will stand next to theNantucket Historic District Commission and the National Association for Olm-sted Parks as honorees on June 30th at the Copley Plaza Hotel.

I hope to see you there and thank you for your continued support of Preser-vation Mass.

Jim Alexander

Spring 2005, Preservation & People 3

On March 3 of 2005, Preservation Massachusettsmourned the loss of Maurice F. Childs, dedicatedarchitect and longtime friend and advocate for the

preservation community. Most recently serving as Chairmanof the Board of Preservation Massachusetts, Maury’s legacyto preservation imparts his own vitality and strength. Hehad long envisioned a stronger statewide community inwhich the value of enduring structures and landscapes is real-ized. The furthering of that vision was one of Maury’s mostsignificant projects as Chairman. The June 10, 2004 launchof the Regional Advisory Council (RAC) created a dedicatednetwork of preservation expertise available to support localcommunities throughout the Commonwealth of Massachu-setts. This initiative brings a new dimension of outreach andadvocacy to our organizational mission.

One of the three founders of CBT Architects, Inc., Maury’s final project wasthe restoration of the John Adams Courthouse in Pemberton Square, Boston.The building, which houses the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, wasdedicated on March 31st.

Those of us who experienced Maury’s thoughtfulcommitment to the benefits of preservation on almosta daily basis will miss his creativity and considerate,but determined, manner in effecting change and meet-ing the challenges of the preservation community.

Spring 2005- As the weather warms and spring returns toNew England, the Preservation Coalition continues tokeep the Boston Archdiocese at the forefront. Now thatthe closings have been public knowledge for a year, theCoalition has remained pro-active and maintained a goodrelationship with the Archdiocese. A few Coalition mem-bers have had several meetings with Chancellor DavidSmith to re-affirm the Coalitions belief that the historicsignificance of religious properties be taken into accountduring the disposition process. In an attempt to garnermore preservation focus on the closings, the Secretary ofthe Commonwealth, with full support from the Coali-tion, submitted the Historic Religious Properties of theArchdiocese to the National Trust’s 11 Most EndangeredProgram. The historic holdings of the Archdiocese werenamed to Preservation Mass’ 10 Most Endangered List in

2004. The impetus behind the national nomination isthat many other dioceses across the country will soon, ifnot already, face the same issues as Boston.

In updated Tax Credit news, the next round of applica-tions for the Tax Credit will be due on May 2nd, andmany good and worthy projects will compete for thisenticing credit. For this year there are $15 million incredits available, the original $10 million plus an extra $5million increase in the supplemental budget last winter.The uncapped credit legislation is awaiting hearings, andCoalition members and our Lobbyist have been workinghard to educate the legislators about the credit and togarner support. (See Coffee & Credits story on page…)

The following article appears in theSpring 2005 newsletter from PreserveRhode Island, and has been repro-duced with their permission.

For too many years, Rhode Islandwas home to scores of abandonedmills and other vacant historic build-ings. In 2001, Preserve Rhode Islandjoined a statewide coalition to advo-cate for the passage of a state taxcredit that would create a 30%investment tax credit for the rehabili-tation of historic buildings. Thiscredit, when combined with a 20%federal tax credit, can provide signifi-cant incentive for developers to reuseand rehabilitate historic buildings.

And just as preservationists andothers imagined, the incentives areworking. Many derelict propertieshave been put back to active use,with dozens more projects ahead in

the pipeline. In 2004, legislatorsbecame concerned that perhaps thetax credit was working too well andproposed a moratorium on the pro-gram until the short and long termeffects could be studied. PRI advo-cated against the moratorium andhelped convince legislators that whilethe cost of the tax credits may seemhigh, they are actually leveraging farmore economic investment.

This April, GrowSmart RhodeIsland released a study completed bythe firm of Lipman, Frizzell, andMitchell that proves the RhodeIsland Historic Preservation Invest-ment Tax Credit is creating a substan-tial return to the state. The studylooks at several ways in which the taxcredits generate economic growth.For every $1.00 awarded as a taxcredit, an average of $5.72 is lever-aged in economic investment. The

benefits are numerous, including thecreation of jobs and affordable hous-ing, returning abandoned propertiesto municipal tax rolls, and rehabili-tating significant historic propertieswith new uses.

The complete economic impactstudy can be seen at www.growsmar-tri.com.

Preservation Coalition Hosts a Second Legislative Breakfast

Erin Kelly

February 1, 2005 saw PreservatiON MASS and theMassachusetts Preservation Coalition hosting theirsecond Legislative Breakfast. The event took place atthe Millennium Bostonian Hotel, and was sponsoredby Winn Development. The first breakfast tookplace in 2003 to rally support for a new piece of leg-islation called the Massachusetts Real Estate Invest-ment Act of 2002. This legislation was passedsuccessfully and signed into law in November of2003, becoming the Massachusetts State HistoricRehabilitation Tax Credit.

This year, the Preservation Coalition sought to bringtogether freshman and sponsoring legislators, devel-opers and the preservation community to discuss theimpact and success of the Massachusetts Tax Credit.The tax credit has been up and running for nearly ayear and has been met with an overwhelmingly posi-tive response, with over $60 million in qualified taxcredits requested in the first three applicationrounds. However the credit is capped at $10 millionper year for 5 years. The Preservation Coalition hasfiled legislation for an uncapped credit that wouldallow more projects to receive the crucial fundingthat the credit allows.

Speakers at the breakfast includedMichael Sullivan, Mayor of Holyoke.Mayor Sullivan illustrated the effect thatthe tax credit would have on a communi-ty like Holyoke, that has much of its his-toric fabric intact, but not a market toentice developers. Assistant Secretary of

State Michael Moresco spoke on behalf of Secretaryof State, William Galvin and the Secretary's supportof preservation, the tax credit and the positive eco-nomic impact potential that the credit brings. StateHistoric Preservation Officer Cara Metz presentedthe project numbers and figures from the applica-tions, clearly illustrating that the demand far exceedsthe allotted credits available.

Janet Marie Smith, Vice Presi-dent of Planning & Developmentfor the Boston Red Sox illustrat-ed her experience with tax cred-its in other states and the positiveimpact it has on preservation andhistoric architecture, and howpreservation has figured into therenovations at Fenway Park.

Larry Curtis, managing partner forWinn Development, spoke about howthe State Tax Credit enabled develop-ers to realize and execute projects incommunities across the Common-wealth, where development was noteconomically possible before.

The Preservation Coalition-a network of national,state and local organizations which meet regularly tostrengthen and promote preservation advocacy ideas,issues and strategies- looks forward to working withlegislators and developers in promoting and lobbyingfor an increase in the credit cap.

Preservation Mass, as leaders and founders of thePreservation Coalition, would like to thank everyonewho participated in the Breakfast! The PreservationCoalition would also like to thank Winn Develop-ment for sponsoring the Breakfast. It was a wonder-ful opportunity for the Legislature and members ofthe Preservation Community to come together andlook forward to continuing to strengthen ties andrelationships in the future.

Coffee&Credits:


The health of our historic districts depends upon the way inwhich we communicate with residents in the district andadminister the local historic district bylaw or ordinance. Weare the ambassadors of preservation in our communities andone way to be effective in making preservation a priority is tobe consistent, clear, and fair in the commission’s work. Oneway to achieve this is to use a check-list to help the commissionstay on track.

Although there may be regularly scheduled meetings, whichof course must be posted at the Clerk’s Office, the process for apublic hearing to address an application for a Certificate ofAppropriateness or Hardship has its own set of rules that aremore restrictive than those for a regular meeting in which yourcommission may be discussing general business. Here, we willfocus on what must be done to have a successful and legal pub-lic hearing. The main factors are:

Preparedness • Cordiality • Legal FrameworkThe assumption is that your commission has received an appli-cation seeking either a Certificate of Appropriateness or Hard-ship. It is not necessary to hold a public hearing to issue aCertificate of Non-Applicability.

Before a HearingAt least 14 days in advance of the hearing:■■ Post hearing including date, time, location and subject in a

public place and at the Clerk’s Office;■■ Send notices of the hearing with same information to

applicant and abutters*, planning board and anyone elserequesting regular notices;

■■ Advertise hearing in the newspaper if your bylaw/ordinance requires this procedure.

*There is no definition of “abutter” in MGL Chapter 40C. Tobe fair be sure to send to the owners of all contiguous proper-ties and to those across the street from the subject property.For a small district consider sending to all property owners asa form of public education.

Prepare for the meeting during the week before:■■ Mail application and hearing notice to commission members;■■ Gather survey form, photographs, maps and any other

helpful information on file; ■■ Visit the property so that you understand its setting, and

architectural features.

At the Hearing ■■ Introduce commissioners, check quorum, and determine

who will vote as well as who will record the proceedingsand prepare the decision.

■■ State the way in which you will proceed for the benefit ofall – order of information, order of questions and com-ments. A basic order that is easy to follow is: • Presentation of application by petitioner • Questions from commission members • Questions of facts only by public • Arguments in favor and Arguments in opposition (public comment)• Discussion of application by the commission.

■■ State all legal dates: Receipt of application, advertisementof hearing, hearing date, the date by which decision must befiled.■■ Proceed in the order that you have stated, making sure toenter all information into the public record. ■■ Discuss application in terms of appropriateness of overallsite plan, scale, massing, materials, details, etc.■■ Restate the case – prepare to close hearing if all informa-tion has been given at the meeting. Vote to close the publiccomment part of the hearing or close the hearing. *■■ Discuss the motion. Vote and record the motion includinga statement of reasons for the decision. Record the voteincluding who voted for and against the motion.*Some commissions prefer to keep the hearing open only end-ing the public comment so that there is opportunity to addmore information to the public record if something is not clear* In the event that the hearing must be continued to anotherdate, be sure to select the date, time and place and vote tocontinue the hearing so that you can avoid re-advertising par-ticularly if your regulation requires advertisement in the news-paper; however it is a good policy and a courtesy to at leastsend notice of the continued hearing to the abutters.

After the Hearing■■ Record the decision on a Certificate signed and dated by

chair or designee.■■ File Certificate (the decision) in Clerk’s Office within 60

days of receipt of application or less according to yourlocal bylaw/ordinance.

■■ Send copy of Certificate to applicant, building commis-sioner, and any other required recipients according to localbylaw/ordinance.

■■ Prepare minutes of meeting and send to commission mem-bers in preparation of next meeting.

Since 1993, Preservation Mass’s 10 Most Endangered Programhas been highlighting threatened historic resources across theCommonwealth. With over 100 chosen resources, this organi-zation has touched many communities across Massachusetts.But what happened to the resources listed 8, 9, 10 years ago?How has the program benefited the resources it chose to list asendangered? How many of our resources have succumbed tonon-existence and how many have been saved?

Since arriving at Preservation Mass in 2002, President Jim Igoehas been asking himself these questions. Now we have set outto find the answers, with a little help. Colleen Larkin, a senior

at St. Anslem’s College in Manchester, NH, has been workingas an intern for Preservation Mass since January of this year.Colleen is a Fine Art major and is from Syracuse, NY. Thescope of her project with the Most Endangered program is tocompile as much information on all of the listed properties aspossible. This involves researching and sorting through the 10+ years of files, paperwork, and photographs in the 10 Mostarchives. Once all of the necessary information has been

assembled, calls will be made to the contact people associatedwith the resource to find out:

-What is the current status of the resource? Restored, stillendangered but fair, poor and seriously endangered, lost?

-Did the program help the resource? What was the reactionafter the listing?

-How can the program be strengthened? What are the pros andcons?

Colleen has found that updateswere done on occasion over theyears and relevant news articleskept and filed. All of the infor-mation she is finding is makingits way into a database forfuture reference and continuedupdate for future years. Hernext step will be to begin logging calls to find out the status ofour Commonwealth’s Endangered Resources.

Ultimately Preservation Mass would like a finished product thatoffers updated information on all of our listed resources andshows where the program has worked and where improvementmay be needed. With Colleen’s help, we set off on a course tofind out “what ever happened to…”

If you have any updated information regarding a listed Endan-gered Resource, please feel free to call 617-723-3383 or [email protected]
