 Preservation Massachusetts Honored!
On May 25, Preservation Massachusetts was hon-
ored by WHALE at their Annual Meeting and
Awards. Executive Director Lisa Sughrue and Presi-
dent Dan Perry presented Jim Igoe with the George
C. Perkins President’s Award, WHALE’s highest
honor. The Perkin’s Award is given to an individual
or organization whose contributions that have had

and Jim Igoe are truly honored and pleased to have been given this
prestigious award.

Assistant Director Named

Preservation Massachusetts is pleased to announce that Erin Kelly has been pro-
moted to the position of Assistant Director. For the past two and a half years, Erin
has served as the Office Manager and Preservation Advocate by running the office,
planning fundraising events, giving programmatic support and coordinating the Ten
Most Endangered.
The role of Assistant Director will incorporate more hands-on work with devel-
opment and fundraising and allow for Erin to become more involved in existing pro-
grams, such as the Regional Advisory Council and proposed programs such as the
Western and Central Massachusetts Circuit Riders. Her work with planning and
managing events, publications and outreach will continue. By working with Presi-
dent Jim Igoe, the Board of Directors and the organization’s constituency she will
continue to promote and advance Preservation Massachusetts as a relevant, impact-
ful and strong preservation organization serving the entire Commonwealth.
A native of southeastern Massachusetts, Erin began at Preservation Massachusetts
in 2004 and is a graduate of the Roger Williams University Historic Preservation
Program.

In Memory On June 16th, Preservation Massachusetts
was saddened to learn of the sudden death of
Bob Kuehn, longtime Board Member and for-
mer President of this organization. Originally
from Minneapolis, Minnesota, he completed
his undergraduate and graduate studies at Yale
University, in Architecture and Urban Studies.
He was also a Fulbright Scholar at the Universi-
ty of London.
Throughout his career, Bob was deeply com-
mitted to affordable housing, historic preserva-
tion and the arts. As founder and President of
Keen Development Corporation, he developed
more than 3,000 mixed-income homes over the
past twenty five years, received numerous
awards for his preservation work and helped
secure permanent live/work space for many
Boston artists. Some of his preservation proj-
ects with Preservation Massachusetts (then
called Historic Massachusetts, Inc.) included
the Chelsea Post Office in Chelsea and the Wal-
ter Baker Lofts in Dorchester.
At the time of his death, Bob was serving as
President of Citizen’s Housing and Planning
Association (CHAPA), a Massachusetts Advisor
to the National Trust for Historic Preservation,
an extremely dedicated member of the Com-
munity Preservation Coalition and of course, a
Director of Preservation Massachusetts.
Bob Kuehn touched hundreds of lives
through his life and work and will be remem-
bered for his intelligence, wisdom and his abili-
ty to embrace a challenge. He will be deeply
missed by all who knew him.

 Summer Update
The Massachusetts Preservation Coalition

It comes as no surprise that the
State Historic Rehabilitation Tax
Credit has been the primary focus for
the Coalition for the past four years.
The program has provided a great
incentive to and lure for those looking
to undertake preservation projects
across the state. Yet there are many
more issues and opportunities for the
Coalition to undertake and expand
upon.
A Residential Tax Credit: There
was a residential tax credit component
included with the original 2003 legis-
lation that was omitted in order to
pass the commercial credit. Now that
the commercial credit has been up and
running for over two years, the Coali-
tion has begun researching various res-
idential tax credit programs in states
such as Maryland, Rhode Island, Con-
necticut and Virginia. In June, Brad
Schide, Field Service Officer for the
Connecticut Trust for Historic Preser-
vation met with the Coalition to dis-
cuss their homeowner credit. In
September, Ted Saunderson, Deputy
SHPO from Rhode Island will discuss
Rhode Island’s residential credit. It is
an interesting opportunity for further
thought and research.
Religious Properties Subcommit-
tee: With the church dispositions
ongoing and no dialogue with the
Archdiocese, the Subcommittee
recently met to discuss future options.
The group has decided to take on a
more statewide focus on church clos-
ings, as the Springfield Diocese is now
undertaking dispositions as well.
Recent final drafts of an MHC survey
of historic properties within the
Boston Archdiocese offer valuable
information about the numerous his-
toric properties threatened with clo-
sure.
Reaching out for partnerships: The
Coalition continually reaches out to
find new partners and alliances for the
Preservation Community. In April,
Marc Draisen of MAPC spoke about
his organization’s work and role in the
Commonwealth. It is important for
the Coalition to recognize the impor-
tance of partnerships that can help to
promote historic preservation across
the State. We keep updated on cur-
rent issues and events with all of our
Coalition members
Our Coalition subcommittees will
continue to meet throughout the sum-
mer. If there is an issue that should be
brought to the Coalition’s attention,
please contact Preservation Massachu-
setts at 617-723-3383.

 Requiem:
Immaculate Conception Church
In late May and early June, the Spring-
field Diocese began the long-feared demo-
lition of Immaculate Conception Church
in Holyoke. Named to Preservation Mass-
achusetts’ Ten Most Endangered in 2003,
this century French-Gothic church served
as a parish for French-Canadian immi-
grants in Holyoke when it was built in
1927. It was modeled after New York
City’s renowned Church of St. Vincent
Ferrer, with a capacity for 1,100 parish-
ioners. As attendance dwindled and ethnic
makeup of the church changed, the Dio-
cese of Springfield sought to demolish the
church to build a smaller church on the
same site, citing high maintenance and
restoration costs.
Efforts from local citizens in Holyoke,
the Immaculate Conception Preservation
Trust, the Northeast Office of the National
Trust for Historic Preservation and Preservation Massachusetts were hard fought, but
it was not to be. The demolition of this landmark church was captured in photo-
graphs by Mary Anne O’Connor, http://www.pbase.com/maryanne16/immacconc.
As Diocese face parish closures and religious property dispositions, we hope that the
fate of Immaculate will not set the standard for what is to come as we work to pro-
mote the historic and community significance of many religious properties in Massa-
chusetts.

Milford’s Granite School
Building Restored!
Summer 2006, Preservation & People
Resources, the Granite School in Milford now has a new lease on
life. In 2004 Consigli Construction Company, Inc. took interest
in this local landmark and undertook the task of dismantling the
building block by block and relocating it to a nearby plot of land.
The building was re-assembled, restored and is now the corpo-
rate headquarters for Consigli, a Milford based 100 year family
owned business!
The Granite Building was constructed in 1896 as a grammar
school for St. Mary’s Church and is made out of local pink Mil-
ford granite. The building was ravaged by fire in 1985 and sat
vacant for nearly 20 years until Consigli undertook its restora-
tion. Preservation
Massachusetts
applauds Consigli
Construction
Company for the
success of the
Granite Building
and their constant
commitment to
historic preserva-
tion in Massachu-
setts!

 Expanding Preservation Education
Workshops in Historic Preservation at the Local Level
Preservation 101:
Preservation Massachusetts is the statewide historic preservation nonprofit
organization, dedicated to preserving the Commonwealth's historic and cultural
heritage. Preservation 101 is a preservation planning workshop for a regional area. The workshop
is intended to inform the attendees about the purposes and administration of local preservation
planning tools. Local historic district and historical commission members, planners, historians, real
estate professionals and interested public from surrounding communities are encouraged to
attend.
The Historic District and Historic Commission Committee of Preservation Massachusetts intro-
duces the basic concepts of preservation planning on a local level and introduces attendees to the
array of organizations and agencies that make up the preservation constellation. There are many
entities both large and small that can assist the local commissioner and his/her colleagues in main-
taining a community’s sense of place and character. Tools that are available to the local historic
preservation community, such as architectural surveys, listing on the National Register of Historic
Places, demolition delay bylaws, and preservation restrictions, are discussed.
Preservation 201:
The Historic District and Historic Commission Committee of Preservation Massachusetts has
developed a training module in collaboration with the Massachusetts Historical Commission enti-
tled
Preservation 201: MHC Historic Property Forms.
The workshop is intended to inform attendees about how to complete MHC Historic Property
Inventory Forms. Local historical commission and historic district members, planners, historians,
members of municipal and nonprofit organizations, and the interested public from surrounding
communities are encouraged to attend.
The community-wide survey is a preservation planning and research tool. Completing a compre-
hensive inventory represents a town’s historical development by being chronologically and geo-
graphically comprehensive, and reflecting a full range of historic resource types within a communi-
ty. Preservation 201 aims to meet those goals and include topics such as organizing a survey proj-
ect and identifying local survey priorities, developing historic contexts, use of architectural terms
in drafting property descriptions, and completing historic property inventory forms, with a focus
on Form B-Building.
Preservation 301: Overview of the National Register Program
Currently under development, Preservation 301 will focus on the National Register Program and
will be presented at the upcoming Statewide Historic Preservation Conference on September
20,2006 at UMass Boston.
Preservation 301, Overview of the National Register Program has been developed by the Historic
District/Historic Commission Committee of Preservation Massachusetts in collaboration with the
Massachusetts Historical Commission. The workshop will discuss the NR program in terms of:
What is the National Register of Historic Places?
How do you develop a National Register Program for your community?
What are the steps in listing properties in the National Register?

Up to $300 million in credits through 2010 will stimulate private investment in state's urban areas,
preservationists say
The State Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit,
designed to spur the rehabilitation of historic
buildings in Massachusetts received a substan-
tial boost from the Legislature on June 15 as
lawmakers voted to expand the program's
funding to $50 million per year retroactively to
2005, and to extend the two year-old program
through 2010.
Preservationists and real estate leaders imme-
diately hailed the decision of the joint House-
Senate conference committee as a vote of
confidence in the early success of the Massa-
chusetts Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit pro-
gram.
The program provides a tax credit of up to
20 percent of renovation costs as an incentive
for private developers to turn older, historically
significant buildings - many of them in down-
town areas - into income-producing, tax-gener-
ating properties such as apartments and offices.
"Many of these buildings were sitting vacant
for years because the numbers to renovate them
just didn't make sense," said Jim Igoe, president
of Preservation Massachusetts, the nonprofit
advocacy group that proposed the legislation to
increase the program's funding.
"The historic tax credit fills a critical gap in
financing so that developers can start returning
these buildings to service. This, in turn, has
the potential to bring whole city sections back
to life."
The tax credit was launched two years ago as
a five-year pilot program under a measure
drafted by Preservation Massachusetts and
other advocacy groups and passed by the Legis-
10 Preservation & People, Summer 2006
50 Million
Dollar Victory!
lature in 2003.
An original funding cap of $10 million per
year to disperse among approved projects was
raised to $15 million by legislators last year
when a high volume of applications for the
credit quickly outstripped available funds.
In the most recent funding round, the Massa-
chusetts Historic Commission, which adminis-
ters the program, is considering requests for an
estimated $80 million in tax credits from 28
eligible projects in cities including Lowell,
Lawrence, Pittsfield, Holyoke, Worcester and
New Bedford.
Combined, the projects represent an estimat-
ed $611 million in total investment.
"This program provides economic stimulus in
its truest sense," said Larry Curtis, Chairman of
the Greater Boston Real Estate Board. Curtis
is Managing Partner of Winn Development,
which has used the credit to help finance proj-
ects in Boston and Lowell.
"When you consider the number of jobs that
are generated, the income produced and the
state and local taxes collected from the tenants
of these rehabilitated buildings, it adds up to be
a wise investment and a revenue-positive return
for taxpayers," he said.
"We thank Senator Jack Hart and Senate
President Robert Travaglini, and Representative
Dan Bosley and House Speaker Sal Di Masi for
their leadership on this important component
of the economic stimulus package," added Igoe.
