Board asked to review demolition plan for building linked to painter Julian Scott
Summary
A board member alerted the Select Board that a building slated for teardown is on the historic registry and associated with Civil War painter Julian Scott; the board asked staff to check register status and rules governing demolition.
Committee member (S2) raised concerns after learning a building on the tear‑down list is connected to Civil War painter Julian Scott and may be on the historic register. S2 asked staff to verify the property’s registration status and what restrictions or options exist to preserve the building rather than allow demolition.
The chair (S1) and other members asked staff to follow up with the register and report back with applicable rules and any precedents for similar cases, so the board can determine whether demolition is permitted and what alternatives may be available.
