HomeMy WebLinkAboutMcMurry Letter of OppositionHello, Erica -
I'm writing to add my voice to the many residents of Cotuit and beyond who
are very deeply disturbed about the potential change to the location and/or
partial destruction of the historic Crocker House at 49 Putnam Ave., Cotuit.
I've been a proponent and supporter of historic preservation all my adult life.
It never ceases to infuriate and sadden me that anyone who does not
respect or have feeling for the structure, location, and history of a property
wants to own it and destroy it in whole or in part, only to build a modern
mansion in its place.
It's frustrating that the National Register has no teeth, so I hope and pray
the Barnstable Historic Commission will do everything in its power to keep
this historic house saved and protected, and in its original location, not just
for Cotuit but to help preserve the rich history found all over Cape Cod.
I will be traveling out of the country tomorrow, so cannot attend the
meeting.
Thank you so much for inviting feedback on this issue.
Best regards,
Alison McMurry
