2/122 Preservation & People, Summer 2004

From the President,

Could the Republicans have it right? In claiming that smaller government and

more local emphasis is better so too, historic preservation should look to ener-

gize citizens and municipal representatives. Local communities, both cities and

smaller towns must become better educated and more self-reliant if they want real

success when it comes to historic preservation challenges.

Gone seem to be the days of large state agency technical support teams. Staffs

are smaller and grants that once were millions are now far less with no guaran-

tees that funds wont diminish further. Clearly, the panacea for local communities

is to take control of their own preservation future by building better local preser-

vation organizations.

PreservatiON MASS long term goals and focus has been a stronger collective

voice in the Preservation Coalition and success like the Real Estate Investment

Act. One priority has been a stronger preservation network via our new Regional

Advisory Council and commitment to work more locally with communities so

that they are better equipped and better understand their roles in the arena of

landscapes and historic preservation.

Currently only a handful of cities have local preservation organizations. Many

of those have little funding and few, if any, staff. That must improve; cities like

Worcester and Springfield must have strong organizations working closely with

their respective city governments and community leaders if they are to succeed.

Cities like Holyoke and Lawrence, with major day to day preservation challenges,

rely on whatever outside support they can find. They look to their local com-

munities which often have commissions in disarray and not well equipped to pro-

vide necessary support for strong preservation advocacy.

PreservatiON MASS, with the assistance of MHC, is focusing on developing

an advanced program of our Preservation 101, called Preservation 201. This pro-

gram will focus on assisting communities to complete survey forms that will be in

accordance to MHC methodology. Meanwhile PreservatiON MASS is traveling

to cities like Salem, Pittsfield and Holyoke, meeting with mayors and other local

government officials in an effort to assist and provide whatever resources to save

historic properties, preserve cultural landscapes and bring economic vitality to

their communities.

In an August 9, 2004 article from the Springfield Republican, Holyoke Mayor

Michael Sullivan states, Support from PreservatiON MASS will help when the

city looks for businesses interested in investing in some of the citys old build-

ings. Our vision is grand scale and the road will be long and winding. Yet

PreservatiON MASS is looking to reach out and take investment in preservation

across the Commonwealth. With the help and dedicated support from our mem-bers and constituencies, PreservatiON MASS can make this investment work for

the benefit of all.

One beautiful evening in May saw preservation takingcenter stage in Boston. On Thursday, May 6th Preser-vatiON MASS hosted the Annual Preservation Awards

Dinner. The historic Fairmont Copley Plaza, site of the AwardsDinner for the past sixteen years, served as the see-and-be-

seen preservation gathering event of the year.The spotlight of the evening fell on the three award recipi-ents as they were honored in the Copleys exquisitely restoredGrand Ballroom. Senate President Robert E. Travaglini accept-ed the Paul E. Tsongas Award for his role in the successful pas-sage of the new Massachusetts Rehabilitation Tax Credit. Theevent was made more memorable as Ms. Thalia Slessinger; PaulTsongas twin sister presented Senate President Travaglini withhis award.

The Charles W. Elliot Award, recognizing exceptional visionand excellence in planning, was given to Historic Salem Incor-porated, which is celebrating its 60th year as a preservationorganization. ThePreservation Project of the Year Award wasgiven to the Massachusetts State House. Special recognitionwas given to Stanley Smith, recently retired Executive Directorof Historic Boston, Inc. and founding member of HistoricMassachusetts, Inc. (now PreservatiON MASS) for his numer-ous years of dedicated service and leadership in preservation.

A unique gathering of professionals and enthusiasts, alllinked by the common bond of preservation, the 2004 AnnualPreservation Awards Dinner was a wonderful event. Sincerethanks go out to all who helped make the evening as enjoyableas it was. PreservatiON MASS counts on your friendship and

support in order to continue our mission and work in bringingpreservation advocacy to all parts of the Commonwealth. Seeyou next year!

5/12Summer 2004, Preservation & People 5

On June 10th a kickoff meet-ing was convened in Worces-ter initiating a new out reachand advocacy dimension tothe mission of PreservationMass. The Regional AdvisoryCouncil (RAC) is made up of

preservation professionals andadvocates from across the state.Preservation Mass established 10regions and invited participantsfrom the regional areas to act asambassadors for preservationand be responsive to local andregional requests for assistanceand outreach. As one can imag-ine, it is impossible to be activeon all preservation fronts oravailable to every community atonce. Given the small staff of Preservation Mass, it seemed wise

to work smarter on your behalf.

It took many months to put the vision of Maury Childs,Chairman, and Jim Igoe, President along with Claudia Wu,Clerk and board member Dick Lundgren into a concrete plan.Members of the council were sought out from many walks oflife. We have professors, administrators, architects, preservationprofessionals, planners, doctors, lawyers, and maybe even aChief in the mix. All in all, we had gathered over 500 hun-dred years of preservation experience into one single room forseveral hours. What you imagined did happen. Ideas for out-reach and advocacy blossomed. We were able to corralthoughts and ideas from a brainstorming session as well as

small regional sessions. A blueprint for future action was devel-oped and circulated to the advisors. As the summer closes, weare busy defining the next steps. Fall is always a great time fornew beginnings. Just as the Back to School season starts, wewant to be ready to be Back to Preservation on a local andregional level with more energy than before!

We want to hear fromyou. What are your con-cerns, needs and how canPreservation Mass be ofassistance? Please feel freeto contact: Elsa Fitzgerald,RAC Coordinator, at

The Next Decade: 2004 and Beyond-ADVOCACY, ADVOCACY, ADVOCACY

In this issue, we

resume From

Whence Weve Come

To Where We are

Going. This final

segment previews the

activities and chal-

lenges ahead that

PreservatiON MASS

is ready to tackle

head on.

PreservatiON MASS Board of Directors willuse its new name to reflect its renewed advocacymission. Continuing and enlarging its effective

lobbying experiences, PreservatiON MASSfounded and coordinates The Preservation Coali-tion of Massachusetts. Keeping preservationissues in the forefront of the Legislature and

Administration must be a constant, nurturingactivity instead of start-stop crisis advocacy. Toimbed outreach at the grass roots level (long aproblem for weary preservationists), Preserva-tiON MASS launched the Regional AdvisoryCouncil, which has tapped many tried and trueprofessionals and new faces of preservation tovolunteer their expertise to be the eyes and earsand willing ambassadors of PreservatiON MASS

at the regional and local level.PreservatiON MASS and the Coalition envi-

sion expanding the new Real Estate tax credit toresidential properties and will always supportconsistent funding for the MPPF grants.

Advocacy for preservation and the environ-ment clearly impacted policy for the new admin-istration. The Governors Fix-It-First policyprompts the transportation agencies to keepexisting facilities and rehabilitate bridges amongother options, largely because its cheaper in dis-tressed budgetary times. The policy means rein-

vesting in existing infrastructure in existingcommunities, while protecting community char-acter and historic resources. Preservation advo-cates must make sure these are not emptypromises. Another technical working group ontransportation issues is tackling the Mass High-way Departments design manual, which hadbeen the root of many anti-preservation actions.

Like school closings, the specter of closed reli-gious properties of all denominations looms on

the horizon. And the state is not exempt hereconsolidating court facilities surely will impactthe historic courthouses. Decisions will be diffi-

cult for communities, but PreservatiON MASShas an important role in demonstrating theopportunities for adaptive reuse.

Recent church and church complex closingdecisions of the Archdiocese of Boston hasprompted the Preservation Coalition to initiate aReligious Properties subcommittee to assist thearchdiocese by developing a toolkit that will behelpful in a myriad of development and reuseopportunities, which will respect the significantlyhistoric resources the Archdiocese currently holdsand will likely dispose of.

Finally, while the writer has the soap box for amoment, PreservatiON MASS can renew itsadvocacy commitment to the Historic Preserva-tion Fund, which provided major funding to theMHC. Declines in the past few years severelyimpacted MHCs staffing and pass-though Surveyand Planning grants to cities and towns. And alpreservationists need to step up to advocatingwithout hesitancy or fear. Contact Jim Igoe, hecan tell you the small steps that collectively leadto grand results.

PreservatiON MASS has an important agendafor its third decade and has the ability and will to

make it happen.

Local Profiles:

Framinghams Centre Common Historic DistrictJeff Kotkin

Though there were, andstill are today, several historicsettlement areas worthy ofHistoric District status intown, the Centre Commonarea was chosen primarilybecause it is a rare, essentiallyintact historic Town Com-mon. It is also a vibrant sym-bol of New England towns,

providing aesthetic pleasure,open space, and scenic beautyin a densely developed cross-roads, just north of the inter-section of Route 9 and EdgellRoad. At the t ime, theFHDSC knew that actionneeded to be taken quickly.

The Towns explosive pop-ulation growth from the1950s through the 1970s,and the ever-encroachingdevelopment that followed,

threatened to erase much ofthe areas historic character.By the 1970s, several historicbuildings had been torn downor replaced: Wallace Nut-tings 1834 home, the firstPlymouth Church (a wooden Gothic structure in which theBattle Hymn of the Republic was first sung), and two otherhouses dating from the early 19th century. After years of set-backs and lack of support, the FHDSC rallied residents andfinally won approval from Town Meeting for the Centre Com-mon District. In doing so, they saved a significant example ofearly New England town planning around a central commonarea, one that has been 270 years in the making.

This area became known as the Centre after early churchand town leaders needed a central location for their secondmeetinghouse, convenient for the far-flung settlements sprin-kled about the more than 20,000 acres Framingham encom-passed at the time. Since 1699 the original meetinghouse hadserved the Town, but for many political and demographic rea-sons, it was time for a change of venue. In 1734, Town Meet-ing decided to purchase four acres along Edgell Road.

Although it was central, the scarcity of roads leading to theCommon made it difficult to get there from many settlementsaround Town. Because of these challenges and a scattered

population, the meetinghouse,erected in 1735, did not formthe nucleus of a central villageuntil many years later.

The incorporation of theWorcester Turnpike in 1806helped to foster business enter-prises and to give new life to theCentre Village. It developedquickly after that, as residential,

commercial, civic, and religiousbuildings began to spring up.

As the midpoint betweeBoston and Worcester, with ahotel and facilities for changinghorses and repairing stagecoach-es, the Centre was a logicalplace to stop.

But almost as soon as itbegan, the Commons promi-nence as the center of townaffairs began to steadily erodeaway. The railroad was com-

ing to Framingham, and itwould fundamentally changethe direction of the Commonsand the Towns development.Until nearly the end of the cen-tury, the Common served as

the center of Framinghams civic life. However, the energyfor growth and economic development was being invested inthe south side of Town and at the falls in Saxonville to thenorth. Fortunately, this meant the Centre Common was leftlargely intact, providing a virtual snapshot of life in a NewEngland village just before the Industrial Revolution.

The Centre Common Historic District is as popular a placeto gather today as it has been at any time since its creation.Concerts, art exhibits, farmers markets, graduation cere-monies, and other events create a vibrant, living Common thatdraws people from around Framingham, Metrowest, andbeyond. With increased activity and traffic, our Historic Dis-trict Commission is working harder than ever to reduce moremodern visual distractions and to ensure that the Commonand related structures retain the historic character that wasestablished almost three centuries ago. By doing so, weexpect the Common to provide enjoyment, a distinctive placeto live and work, and a sense of community for many cen-turies to come.

Twenty six years ago, the Framingham Historic Dis-

trict Study Committee (FHDSC) took the first criti-

cal step in preserving one of our Towns most

important cultural and historical landscapes:

The Centre Common.



The barn. A post and beam orwood framed structure that hasgrown and rambled in its usageacross time. An idyllic image setupon a vast field is quintessential New

England scenery to many people and

postcards. Yet many of these essentialfarm outbuildings are falling off the 21st

century radar screen. As agriculture

needs and development rapidly changes

the physical face of the commonwealth,

many barns are threat-

ened. Whether neglect,

development or social

changes, barns across

Massachusetts face an

uncertain future.

The Task Force.

Under the auspices ofPreservatiON MASS,

the Massachusetts Barn

Preservation Task Force

seeks to herald the

plight of these cultural and historical

icons. A non-profit alliance, the Task

Force is dedicated to the preservation of

Mass. Historic barns and outbuildings in

their agricultural settings.

The first heraldic effort of the Task

Force will culminate in a day long work-

shop, Saturday, November 6th at the

Fisher Museum situated in scenic Har-

vard Forest in Petersham, Massachu-

setts. In order to assist in educating

barn owners, preservationists and any-

one else intrigued by historic barns, theday long workshop offers an array of

topics and speakers. Sessions include

History of Early New England Barn

Construction Techniques, Barn Historic

Surveys, Barn Condition Surveys, Barn

Preservation, and Preservation Tools.

Speakers on these topics will be Jack A.

Sobon, registered architect specializing

in timber frame construction, Frank

White, curator of Mechanical Arts at

Old Sturbridge Village, Arron Sturgis,

owner of Preservation Timber FramingInc., and Michael Steinitz, Director of

Preservation Planning at the Massachu-

setts Historical Commission.
