There are two National Historic Landmarks in the Federal Street Historic District in Brunswick (i.e., the Parker Cleaveland House and the Harriet Beecher Stowe House). Within or adjacent to the strategy study areas are four individually listed properties in Topsham, none of which are in NRHP districts, and six individually listed properties in Brunswick, three of which are in NRHP historic districts. Inventoried Properties Of the 20 properties documented on inventory forms, only one has been determined eligible. The Frank J. Wood Bridge was determined eligible as a contributing <strong>com</strong>ponent of an adjacent industrial district. No information was provided in the eligibility determination regarding the identity or number of buildings that might be included in this eligible district, but the NRHP-listed Topsham/Pejepscot Paper Company on the north side in Topsham and the Cabot Mill (not inventoried or NRHP-listed) on the south side in Brunswick are assumed to be included. It is Existing Conditions 67
unclear whether any other additional buildings also may be in the re<strong>com</strong>mendedeligible industrial district. The remaining properties were marked “undetermined” for their NRHP status, which means that they have either not been officially reviewed or more information is needed to make a final determination. Local Historic Districts Both towns have local laws or ordinances that established the local historic districts – or areas similar in purpose but called by another name – that are in the Study Area. The boundaries of these areas – a single large area known as the Village Review Zone in Brunswick and the five separate local historic districts in Topsham – are shown in Figure 2-13. 13 In Brunswick, the Village Review Zone was created by provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. This large district includes six separate neighborhoods, some of which are in NRHP-listed historic districts. 14 The ordinance requires that development proposals in this downtown section of Brunswick be reviewed and approved by the Village Review Board or staff. All development proposals are required to provide information on identified historic features and known archeological sites on the project site and to mitigate the impact of development on these features. An application for a Certificate of Appropriateness must be submitted for any changes to the exterior appearance of the properties in this district, including new construction, additions, demolition, and any landscape structure such as sidewalks and retaining walls. Chapter 225-18 of the Topsham Code establishes a review process for any proposed exterior alterations, new construction, or demolition of buildings in the five local historic districts. The review process requires property owners to file an application to ultimately gain a Certificate of Appropriateness for their proposed work from the Topsham Historic District Commission. No building or other type of permit can be issued until the Historic District Commission has reviewed and approved the Certificate of Appropriateness application. 15 Additional Properties Subject to Future Inventory Reconnaissance surveys were conducted in December 2009 and May 2010 to help identify buildings and areas in the Study Area (specifically focused on the five subareas) that were older than 45 years. The purpose of this identification effort was to inform project planners about areas and buildings not yet inventoried or 13 The five local historic districts in Topsham are the Topsham Historic District, which follows the same boundaries as the National Register Historic District by the same name; South Elm Street Historic District; Great Mill Island Historic District; Lower Main Street Historic District; and Lower Winter Street Historic District. 14 The six neighborhoods included in the Village Review District are Franklin/Maple Street, Federal Street, Maine Street, Mill Street, Northwest Neighborhood, and Pleasant Street. The Village Review District does not include any part of the Bowdoin College campus. 15 Barba Architecture and Preservation, Design Review Manual: Historic Districts of Topsham, Maine, 2000, p. 8.
