Schuler Virginia Adams, PAL Local Project Coordinator Orlando Pacheco Local Heritage Landscape Participants Jim Babbin Michael A. Browne Deborah Allen Carey Jim Dowd Paul Fenner Jon Higgins Nanette Masi Bruce McBrien Juli McDonald Orlando Pacheco Jay Williamson May 2005 INTRODUCTION Essex County is known for its unusually rich and varied landscapes, which are represented in each of its 34 municipalities. Heritage landscapes are places that are created by human interaction with the natural environment. They are dynamic and evolving; they reflect the history of a 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.

DENDROCHRONOLOGY: A STATUS REPORT FOR THE EASTERN UNITED STATES A Thesis Presented to the Graduate Schools of Clemson University and College of Charleston In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree Master of Science Historic Preservation by Elyse Harvey May 2012 Accepted by: Carter L. Hudgins, Ph. D., Committee Chair Richard Marks Frances H. Ford Ralph Muldrow ABSTRACT Architectural historians and historic preservation practitioners have turned with increasing frequency to dendrochronology to determine dates of construction for houses and other timber structures for which the application of traditional dating techniques, chief among them historical documentation and stylistic analysis, failed. Since the advent of modern, statistically-driven tree-ring dating, analysis of the application of dendrochronology on the eastern region of the United States reveals that the use of this scientific technique has been unevenly applied and is most often used in New England and the Chesapeake. While the techniques used by American dendrochronologists are generally similar, practitioners have failed to adopt a consistent methodology.

  • Historic Properties in Kensington, New Hampshire
    HISTORIC PROPERTIES IN KENSINGTON, NEW HAMPSHIRE Kensington Townwide Area Form (Area K) Surveyed 1997 Preservation Company Sunny Knoll 5 Hobbs Road Kensington, NH 03833 HISTORIC PROPERTIES IN KENSINGTON, NEW HAMPSHIRE Kensington Townwide Area Form (Area K) Surveyed 1997 Preservation Company Sunny Knoll 5 Hobbs Road Kensington, NH 03833 Introduction The following document is called the “Kensington Townwide Area Form.” It was prepared in accordance with the guidelines of the New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources (NHDHR, a.k.a. the New Hampshire State Historic Preservation Office). The concept of a townwide Area Form was formulated by the NHDHR to provide a basis for understanding and evaluating the historical resources within a given community. The significant themes and historic contexts in the town’s development are identified by compiling a historical overview; and building types, architectural styles and characteristics of the built environment are also documented. The Kensington Townwide Area Form was prepared for the Town of Kensington by Preservation Company, Kensington, New Hampshire, as a contribution to the documentation of the historic resources that are critical to defining the character of this community. It is our hope that this information will prove valuable for town planning purposes and will aid the NHDHR in its goal of documenting and identifying historical resources throughout the state of New Hampshire. In addition Kensington residents may learn more about the history of their town and understand how their own homes relate to its history and development. There are many strategies available for protecting these valuable resources, but none more powerful that an informed citizen base.

Background ………………………………………………….. 4 II. Origin and History …………………………………………… 5 III. Exterior Characteristics ……………………………………… 6 IV. Interior Characteristics (Ground Floor) ……………………… 8 V. Interior Characteristics (Gallery) …………………………….. 9 VI. Interior Characteristics (Pulpit) ………………………………. 11 VII. Location ………………………………………………………. 12 VIII.Conclusion ……………………………………………………. 16 Sources ………………………………………………………... 17 2 Preface It should be noted that the information contained herein was compiled, not by a professional historian or writer, but by an amateur whose only qualification for the endeavor was a keen interest in history and a passion for discovering more about the lives of the people who once trod upon the same ground which we now find ourselves walking. I wrote this paper partly to gather all the various information that I have read on the subject into one work. It contains nothing new to those who are familiar with the history of Eliot. There is a chance that it contains errors and omissions, and if it does, I can assure you, they were committed without intent. My hope is that this work may refresh an interest in the people, places, and events of our past and create a new desire to properly mark and remember those sites which played such an important role in our development as a modern town. The Second Meeting House once stood a stone’s throw from my current home at the entrance to River Road, but, as no marker existed, it was a number of years before I became aware of its history.
