Hosted by the 黑料头条 New England Chapter
Now twenty-five years old, Bristol鈥檚 local Historic District Commission has had a major impact on the town鈥檚 historic core. Yet even with this lengthy history, its value is not always fully understood by local residents. How does the HDC protect property? How does it curate our historic resources? Why is appearing before it so stressful?
Join us at 10am for a roundtable discussion of how Bristol鈥檚 HDC came to be and why it is of value to historic small towns like Bristol, RI. Panelists, all former HDC commissioners, will tell the tales of their best and most interesting moments while serving on the HDC, as well as their lessons learned. They will also offer their thoughts on the future of Bristol鈥檚 historic buildings and National Register district. The roundtable will be moderated by Bristol Historical & Preservation Society Director Dr. Catherine Zipf. This event is hosted by the Lombard J. Pozzi Center for Historic Preservation at the Bristol Historical & Preservation and its partners, the New England Chapter of the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art and Andreozzi Architecture.
The round table will be followed at 1pm by a 鈥淭his Would Not Be Here鈥� walking tour. The tour will visit local buildings that were affected by HDC intervention in order to understand how the HDC operates and why its decisions are so important to Bristol鈥檚 historic resources. Participants are invited to sign up for either or both events.
