Historic District
“…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

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.
