Cultural Resources Inventory February, 2017 Framingham Cultural Resource Inventory City of Framingham, Massachusetts Framingham Historical Commission December, 2018 INVENTORY OF CULTURAL RESOURCES CITY OF FRAMINGHAM, MASSACHUSETTS As of December, 2018 The Framingham Historical Commission is pleased to present this updated version of the city’s Inventory of Cultural Resources. The previous update was January, 2017. The inventory now includes 734 buildings, monuments cemeteries, and other sites which contribute to the historical and architectural heritage of the city of Framingham. Of these, 475 are seen to be of special significance as having been listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the Historic Architectural Buildings Survey, and/or one or more local authority of recognition. This includes: National Register: Individual Listings 14 Historic District Listings 200 Register Eligible 6 Total 220 Historic American Buildings Survey 9 Framingham Local Historic District properties 89 Framingham Historical Commission marker eligible 112 Framingham History Center listing 38 Properties with preservation restrictions 7 Other properties and structures, which have been recognized by the Massachusetts Historical Commission independent of this body are included in the inventory. All city-owned buildings and structures are included. In the first twenty years, since the inventory was established, 1980 – 2000, twenty seven (27) properties/structures were lost to demolition, fire, etc. In the current period, 2000- 2016, an additional nineteen (19) properties/structures were lost and twenty (20) were added. EXPLANATION OF CODES I. AREA LETTER Some buildings in the inventory are part of a grouping of structures that gives them extra meaning in terms of their cultural value. These groupings may be neighborhoods, historic districts, or institutional complexes such as the buildings of Framingham State University. Thirty-six such areas have been identified and are each assigned a letter code. In some cases the areas overlap, resulting in an area designation O/S, where the mill buildings of Saxonville are part of the old Saxonville Mills complex (O), and are also in the National Register’s Saxonville Historic District (S).

MHC NUMBER All properties in the Framingham Inventory of Cultural Resources must be registered with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Massachusetts Historical Commission (MHC) maintains the state inventory, and assigns a number to each property. For Framingham each number in the state inventory is preceded with the city code “FRM.” The MHC number is included here as a cross reference to the state inventory. Properties with the designation “pending” are in the process of being registered with the state. III. SIGNIFICANCE CODES In 1991 Town Meeting passed an historic preservation by-law that provides for a delay period before historically or architecturally significant structures can be demolished. It states that any application for a demolition permit for such a structure shall be subject to review by the Historical Commission. The Commission will make a determination as to its historical and/or architectural significance. A delay period of six (6) to twelve (12) months can be imposed by the Commission, to allow time to explore alternatives to demolition. While listing in the inventory does not automatically indicate significance, it would be an important factor in making the determination. Other factors include some form of recognition in the National Register of Historic Places, or by some other organization such as the Framingham History Center. Recognitions of this nature are included in this inventory in the form of Significance Codes.

  • Bicycle Network Gaps Feasibility Evaluations – Sudbury Aqueduct
    ON REG ST IO O N B BOSTON REGION METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION M Stephanie Pollack, MassDOT Secretary and CEO and MPO Chair E N T R O I Karl H. Quackenbush, Executive Director, MPO Staff O T P A O IZ LMPOI N TA A N G P OR LANNING TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM DATE: January 18, 2018 TO: Town of Framingham FROM: Casey Claude, Boston Region MPO Staff RE: Bicycle Network Gaps Feasibility Evaluations – Sudbury Aqueduct 1 INTRODUCTION Local, regional, and state government agencies in the Boston region are actively working on improving bicycling infrastructure to enhance safety, provide more connectivity between bicycle facilities, and increase the use of bicycling as a mode of transportation. Many bicycle facilities, such as shared-use paths, on- road bike lanes, and barrier-separated bike lanes (also called cycle tracks), were constructed as a result of these efforts. Consequently, a regionwide network of bicycle facilities connecting key destinations in the region, such as town centers and transit locations, has already been developed. However, within this network, there are gaps in continuity (a gap within one bicycle path) and connectivity (a gap between two paths or between a path and a roadway or transit service). These gaps necessitate that bicyclists use circuitous travel routes, reducing the efficiency of travel between key origins and destinations. These gaps exist for a number of reasons: a lack of coordinated planning; a lack of funding; right-of-way (ROW) constraints; competition for ROW space; difficulties related to coordinating efforts across multiple jurisdictions; and physical obstructions, such as waterways, bridges, roadways, and railroads.

    Land Use Planning in the Doldrums: Case Studies of Growth Management in the I-495 Region by Christina Rosan and Lawrence Susskind With Ona Ferguson David Fairman Marina Psaros Research Assistance from Ye Ding Pankaj Kumar Jiawen Yang Prepared for the Rappaport Institute for Greater Boston by The MIT Department of Urban Studies and Planning and The Consensus Building Institute February 2007 Please submit comments and suggestions to [email protected] Case Studies of Growth Management in the I-495 Region 1 Page intentionally left blank Case Studies of Growth Management in the I-495 Region 2 Executive Summary Between 1990 and 2000, communities along Route 495, greater Boston’s outer belt highway, grew about twice as a fast as the region as a whole. How have communities in this corridor responded to that growth and what role did planning and planners play in that response? To answer these questions, we examined eight representative localities in the region. We found that while all the communities generally face similar pressures and share similar concerns, they have responded to those pressures and concerns in quite different ways. Moreover, master planning turned out to be of limited use and professional planners in those communities generally took their cues from public officials and volunteer boards rather than following “best practices” in the planning field. As a result, local land use planning in Massachusetts is still far behind what occurs in many other parts of the United States. In all the localities, private entities are interested in building new residential and commercial developments, usually on previously undeveloped land.

  • A Pictoral History of the Boston Music Hall and the Great Organ
    A PICTORIAL HISTORY OF THE BOSTON MUSIC HALL AND THE GREAT ORGAN by Ed Sampson, President, Methuen Memorial Music Hall, Inc. 2018 Few instruments in the history of pipe organs in America have had as long, or as distinguished, a career as the Boston Music Hall Organ. The first concert organ in the country, it remains today one of the outstanding organs in America. The need for a large and centrally-located concert hall for Boston was discussed at the annual meeting of the Harvard Musical Association, founded in 1837 (Henry White Pickering (1811-1898), President) on January 31, 1851. A "Music Hall Committee", comprised of members Robert East Apthorp (1812-1882), George Derby (1819-1874), John Sullivan Dwight (1813-1893), Charles Callahan Perkins (1822-1886), and Dr. Jabez Baxter Upham (1820- 1902), was appointed to address the matter. The Boston Music Hall was built in 1852 by the Boston Music-Hall Association, founded in 1851 (Jabez Baxter Upham, President) and by the Harvard Musical Association, that contributed $100,000 towards its construction. It stood in the center of a block that sloped downward from Tremont Street to Washington Street; and was between Winter Street on the south and Bromfield Street on the north. Almost entirely surrounded by other buildings, only glimpses of the hall's massive granite block foundation and plain brick walls could be seen. There were two entrances to the Music Hall: the Bumstead Place entrance, (named after Thomas Bumstead (1740-1828) a Boston coachmaker), off Tremont Street (later Hamilton Place) opposite the Park Street Church; 1 and the Central Place or Winter Place (later Music Hall Place) entrance off Winter Street.
