  • Design Guidelines for Morristown's Historic Properties
    PURPOSE The architecture of Morristown has evolved over nearly three centuries, since settlers first came to this area around the bend of the Whippany River in 1715. These buildings illustrate the development of Morristown from a small hamlet to a town. The wealth of history revealed in Morristown's architecture should be preserved. Familiar buildings, within the traditional commercial district and residential neighborhoods, create a continuity of place for the inhabitants of that town as well as frequent visitors. Morristown's community identity is expressed in its buildings. Preservation of a community's architectural heritage, therefore, is a preservation of its identity. In addition, preservation provides tangible benefits. Rejuvenating downtown areas brings economic viability back to the towns. ·When the commercial centers are made attractive and easy to navigate without vacant buildings or lots, they become more inviting to community members for shopping, eating, and other activities. Preserving the character of residential neighborhoods enhances the overall appeal of a community and makes it more attractive to people investing in real estate. Rehabilitation of existing buildings can often be less expensive than new construction, while creating more jobs in the community. Rehabilitation instead of demolition also has the environmental benefit of the reduction of waste in landfills. The objectives of this handbook are: contribution to the preservation of New Jersey's residential and commercial • To identify and define the historic resources; the purpose of these historic environment that exists model guidelines is to extend that today in Morristown. success to Morristown's most vulnerable • To identify the scope for historic Conservation and Sustainable Development in Morristown.
