Since its establishment, the State Register has grown to include listings for over 60,000 properties in more than 320 cities and towns. The State Register of Historic Places is an important historic preservation planning reference tool. It alerts property owners, planners, and project proponents to the presence of significant historic properties and sites that need to be taken into consideration in both public and private ) undertakings. Researchers should consult additional information on properties listed in the State Register available in the files of the Commission. The staff of the Massachusetts Historical Commission, the state historic preservation office, administers a range of historic preservation programs through its Preservation Planning, Grants, and Technical Services divisions. Please visit the Commission's website at www.sec.state.ma.us/mhc to learn more about recent news, events, available publications, and programs or to search the Massachusetts Cultural Resources Information System (MACRIS) database.

It was prepared and recommended by the Board of Water Commissioners, which had just been formed. George Abbott, an architect and member of the Board, designed the seal, which features Lob’s Pound Mill within a shield. For more than 200 years, this building stood on the Ipswich River and was operated as a sawmill and later as a grist mill. Also within the shield are three ravens and a spruce tree. Branches of white pine frame the shield, and on top is the arm and sword from the crest of the Great Seal of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
