became a dynamic show place. My architectural practice on Inn Street thrived
because we had the benefit of restoring one of the first buildings and we
showed that restoration made sense.”

“…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.
