“…the strangest problem is how many old-house owners have been persuaded to throw away all their fine old windows and replace them with plastic counterparts that will last only 5 to 20 years. A well-built old window can be maintained and repaired to last for centuries and can also be upgraded to meet current energy-saving goals with simple, low-cost treatments like exterior storms, interior air panels, or even ordinary roller shades.” -Johnson Lumber Co. 110 Main Street, Salisbury, MA 01952, 978. 462.7151 ----------------------------------------------- Historic
continuity with the past is not a duty. It is only a necessity. ----------------------------------------------- “When
I meet homeowners who are committed to maintaining the historic details of
their homes during renovations I am always appreciative; in fact I consider
these homeowners stewards of the rich history of Newburyport.”
“I think anyone who came in today to develop land, like the waterfront,
would want to adhere to those requirements,” Sullivan said. “People come to
Newburyport to be attracted by the historicity of the community... we want to
continue that.” -Dick Sullivan, Sr, June 18, 2007, Renovators had rules to follow when rebuilding, Newburyport Daily News.
