The Amherst Historical Commission determined the house and large barn to be (historically) significant structures according to Section 13 of the Zoning Bylaw, and therefore issued a 12-month delay on any demolition of the structures. Conducting the analysis and structural study of only the house and large barn will help determine their future, whether they can be renovated into affordable housing, or if existing historic structural timbers could be adaptively reused in new construction.. The comparative analysis provided by the study is a necessary first step to determine how affordable housing will be constructed on site. The analysis is typical with such projects and can be completed in a reasonable timeframe. The cost of this proposal will be allocated 50% for Historical purpose and 50% for Affordable Housing purposes.
