The Historic District

Hello all. I'm hoping you can all send some positive vibes our way. We just completed and submitted our application for a historic designation for our home. If I could figure out how to share pictures on here I would post some of the ten curved windows awaiting restoration. Now comes the wait... keeping our fingers crossed!!

Good luck Eric!

photo posting instructions and help can be found in the "Clerk of Works" section. One post on the topic can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=70 it is pretty simple when you understand how. The best way IMO is to use the "Full Editor" and click on the "Attachments" tab below where you enter your post text

Ericinvt, good on you seeking designation. There just might be a few perks available for those with it, check your property tax people. Some times in recognition of the money involved in maintaining a designated property there will be a property tax incentive.
10 curved glass windows, wow, that’ll have our window experts all excited. Hope you get the picture posting working, looking forward to those pics.

Photo taken last summer. Yes, the boarded up windows are from a fire. An arson, actually. I'll try uploading another picture later that shows the entire structure, including the attached carriage house.

Hey I am pretty sure I recognize your house! If I am right you are quite close to the Vermont Historical Society

With whom? While the NHL and NR may sound more impressive for having "National" attached to it, getting a local designation can be more meaningful as a way to get certain protections and exemptions that help preservation. Either way, it's neat having a plaque backed-up by some administrative body.

Mike, I'm sure you do! We still have our house up the hill, but this is our next project.
