ELIGIBILITYFOR NATIONAL REGISTER LISTING
TO: Sally M. Hoyt, Chairperson; Board of Selectmen
FROM: Massachusetts Historical Commission
DATE: December 12, 1996
The Massachusetts Historical Commission is pleased to inform you that the following property(ies) has
been voted eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (36 CFR 60) by the
Commission acting as the State Review Board. By law, a property is afforded protection from adverse
effect caused by Federally funded, licensed or assisted projects when it has been voted eligible for
inclusion in the National Register. The nomination form will now be submitted to the National
Register Office, National Park Service in Washington, D.C. for final review. If the National Register
Office lists the property or determines it eligible for listing in the National Register, it will
automatically be included in the Massachusetts State Register of Historic Places (950 CMR 71). The
State Register parallels the National Register in providing protection from State actions. For more
information, you may wish to refer to your original notification letter or contact the Commission's
National Register staff. When we have received the determination of the National Register Office you
will be advised.
