Historic Preservation Design Guidelines, City of Newton
Preservation Design Partnership, LLC and Hawkins DM. 2012. Historic Preservation Design Guidelines, City of Newton. Department of Planning and Development, City of Newton; Massachusetts Historical Commission. Newton, Massachusetts
From introduction: "The City of Newton recognizes that the character and quality of life enjoyed by its citizens depend in great measure upon the City’s rich architectural heritage and the importance of the natural and designed landscapes in our community. This historical, cultural, archaeological, social and economic heritage is entrusted to each generation, enriched and passed on to future generations... The Newton Historic Preservation Design Guidelines (Guidelines) are intended as a tool to help manage change and protect the City’s architectural and historical resources. The Guidelines provide background information, guidance and regulations to be followed by property owners, design professionals, contractors, the Newton Historical Commission Staff, Historic District Commissions and the City of Newton with regard to historic resources. They are intended as a supplement to, rather than as a substitute for, consultation with qualified architects, contractors, the Historical Commission Staff and the Commissions." Project funding was provided in part by a 2011 Historic Preservation Fund grant to the City of Newton (project number MA-11-022) administered by the Massachusetts State Historic Preservation Office (grant number 25-12-41928) and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. Newton, Massachusetts is a Certified Local Government.
