TRANSCRIPT
Documentation & Analysis• Identify study area
• Conduct preliminary “windshield” survey• Delineate draft boundaries based on survey
findings
• Document buildings within draft boundaries
• Assign building classifications
• Adjust boundaries, based on add’l evaluation
• Prepare designation report
Available Resources• Assistance of consulting architectural
historian • 2 interns with preservation expertise to

Factors Considered in Delineating District Boundary
• Consideration of visual or physical boundaries that help define the area
• Consideration of general neighborhood character
• Consideration of historical development patterns
• Analysis of building stock—significance, condition
• Consideration of identifiable concentrations of historic structures that retain sufficient integrity to convey
“The range of styles, areas of significance, and concentrations of related buildings were taken into consideration, seeking to include examples of all areas.”
Mid-19th century neighborhood developed in association with Atlantic & St. Lawrence Railroad, Portland Company
“Where there are similar concentrations of buildings with the same area of significance and/or architectural styles, the objective was to select the representative concentration with the greatest architectural integrity that could reasonably be part of a contiguous district.”
Noncontributing based on degree/nature of alterations
To be considered a contributing resource in a district, the structure must retain its historic “integrity”
Historic Preservation Board Review Process
• Site Walks• Boundary Adjustments• Classification Changes• Consideration of Requests for Landmark
