Volunteer Needed – Alternative Member for the Historical Commission, Historic 
District Commission, and Brown’s Wood Historic District Commission
The Select Board is seeking an interested volunteer to act as an alternative 
member on the Historical Commission (LHC), Historic District Commission (HDC), 
and Brown’s Wood Historic District Commission (BWHDC).

The LHC, HDC, and BWHDC meet monthly, typically on the first Tuesday of the 
month. The LHC administers the town’s demolition bylaw, assessing (1) whether a 
building or structure (not in one of the town’s historic districts) which an 
applicant proposes to demolish, has historical, cultural, and architectural 
significance to the town, (2) if so, whether the existing building or structure 
is preferably preserved versus the proposed replacement, and (3) if so, work 
with the applicant to reach a mutually-agreeable resolution within the 12-month 
demolition delay period triggered by the finding. The HDC and BWHDC administer 
the town’s historic district bylaw, assessing whether proposed alterations to 
the exterior of buildings or structures in one of the town’s historic districts 
are appropriate based on the history and architecture of the building or 
structure.  The alternate member will participate in each monthly meeting.

Letters of interest should be sent to Peggy Elder, Administrative Assistant in 
the Select Board’s Office, 
eld...@lincolntown.org<mailto:eld...@lincolntown.org> .  For information or an 
application, please visit the Town website:

Office at (781) 259-2601.
