Heritage landscapes are places that are created by human interaction with the natural environment. They are dynamic and evolving; they reflect the history of the community and provide a sense of place; they show the natural ecology that influenced land use patterns; and they often have scenic qualities. This wealth of landscapes is central to each community’s character; yet heritage landscapes are vulnerable and ever changing. For this reason it is important to take the first steps towards their preservation by identifying those landscapes that are particularly valued by the community – a favorite local farm, a distinctive neighborhood or mill village, a unique natural feature, an inland river corridor or the rocky coast. To this end, the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) and the Essex National Heritage Commission (ENHC) have collaborated to bring the Heritage Landscape Inventory program (HLI) to communities in Essex County.

Box 1394 Woodstock, N.Y. 12498 845-679-5054 www.larsonfisher.com COASTAL ZONE HISTORIC RESOURCE SURVEY Marblehead, Essex County, Massachusetts Final Report 18 September 2016 Abstract The project conducted an intensive-level survey of historic resources within the coastal zone established by the Town of Marblehead. This project was the top priority in the Town’s Historic Resource Survey Master Plan (2013) as historic properties on the coastline are considered to be most vulnerable to change. The goal of the survey is to promote the preservation of these valuable properties by raising public awareness of their significance through detailed and cogent narratives of their individual histories and their role as landmarks in the evolving physical and cultural character of their neighborhoods. In addition, the local Marblehead Historical Commission (LHC) desired to upgrade existing levels of documentation and provide information useful in the evaluation of significance for preservation planning and the town’s review of permit applications involving historic properties. The LHC has no direct jurisdiction in project review but hopes survey documentation will lead to informed decisions where significant historic resources are involved. This project recorded architectural, historical and photographic documentation for 186 properties in the coastal zone on survey forms for individual properties and areas provided by the Massachusetts Historical Commission (MHC). Individual properties and historic districts that appear eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places have been identified. Due to the large number of properties documented, exceeding the contractual obligation of 120 properties, those on Marblehead Neck were deferred to a later project with one exception.

  • Neighborhood Overviews
    NEIGHBORHOOD OVERVIEWS (Sources: The following text is largely quoted from Leslie Donovan and Kim Withers Brengle, “A Preservation Plan for the City of Gloucester, Massachusetts,” 1990. Supplemental information was added from the Gloucester Development Team’s Land Marks; Architecture and Preservation in Gloucester, 1979; an unpublished manuscript, “Artists’ Communities in Gloucester, 1750-1948,” by Wendy Frontiero, 1998; and comments from the Gloucester Archives Committee.) CENTRAL GLOUCESTER Central Gloucester is roughly bounded by the Inner Harbor, the Annisquam River, and Route 128. This commercial and civic center of the City of Gloucester, located west of the inner harbor, is the nucleus of the Central Gloucester neighborhood and the City. The central business district runs along Main and Rogers Streets and is characterized by two- to four-story masonry structures. Immediately to the west is the civic center, which is composed of the City’s public buildings, by far the largest group of substantial buildings in Gloucester. The greatest concentration of industrial buildings is also found in Central Gloucester, located along the waterfront, near the commercial areas, and along Maplewood Avenue. Central Gloucester is extremely densely developed compared to the rest of Gloucester. Residential buildings are typically single-family and multi-family structures of wood-frame construction. A fishing colony established by the Dorchester Company at Stage Fort lasted only from 1623- 1626. It was not until the late 1630s that Cape Ann attracted a large enough number of permanent settlers to warrant incorporation as a town in 1642 under the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The name of the new town may have come from the recent birth of a new Duke of Gloucester.

  • Microfilm Publication M617, Returns from U.S
    Publication Number: M-617 Publication Title: Returns from U.S. Military Posts, 1800-1916 Date Published: 1968 RETURNS FROM U.S. MILITARY POSTS, 1800-1916 On the 1550 rolls of this microfilm publication, M617, are reproduced returns from U.S. military posts from the early 1800's to 1916, with a few returns extending through 1917. Most of the returns are part of Record Group 94, Records of the Adjutant General's Office; the remainder is part of Record Group 393, Records of United States Army Continental Commands, 1821-1920, and Record Group 395, Records of United States Army Overseas Operations and Commands, 1898-1942. The commanding officer of every post, as well ad commanders of all other bodies of troops such as department, division, brigade, regiment, or detachment, was required by Army Regulations to submit a return (a type of personnel report) to The Adjutant General at specified intervals, usually monthly, on forms provided by that office. Several additions and modifications were made in the form over the years, but basically it was designed to show the units that were stationed at a particular post and their strength, the names and duties of the officers, the number of officers present and absent, a listing of official communications received, and a record of events. In the early 19th century the form used for the post return usually was the same as the one used for regimental or organizational returns. Printed forms were issued by the Adjutant General’s Office, but more commonly used were manuscript forms patterned after the printed forms.

  • Adaptation Strategies for the Great Marsh Region
    Ranger Poole/USFWS CHAPTER 4 Adaptation Strategies for the Great Marsh Region Assessing vulnerability is the first step in generating adaptation options to increase resilience and reduce vulnerability. Understanding why an asset is vulnerable is especially critical to thinking about adaptation and in particular, identifying adaptation options that can address one or more of the three components of vulnerability (i.e. exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity). Furthermore, while vulnerability assessments provide the context necessary for identifying important issues to consider when designing adaptation strategies, the identification of “key vulnerabilities” can help steer the generation of adaptation options in a direction that focuses on the most critical issues. 376 This chapter outlines a range of adaptation strategies identified through the Community Adaptation Planning Process (see Chapter 2). The following strategies and recommendations are broken into two categories: regional strategies and town-specific strategies. Successful short and long-term implementation of all of these recommendations will require an extensive amount of intra- and inter- municipal cooperation, regional collaboration, and ongoing environmental research and monitoring. The Great Marsh Region is fortunate to have a wide diversity of organizations, agencies, and municipalities working to protect and restore the Great Marsh. However, these efforts will need to be continually strengthened to achieve the degree of change and level of project implementation recommended in this report. 376 Stein, B.A., P. Glick, N. Edelson, and A. Staudt (eds.), Climate-Smart Conservation: Putting Adaptation Principles into Practice (Reston, VA: National Wildlife Federation, 2014), 120 Ch 4. Adaptation Strategies for the Great Marsh Region | 124 4.1 Regional Strategies and Recommendations This section highlights adaptation strategies that should be adopted to reduce vulnerability on a regional scale.
