HomeMy WebLinkAboutParks Letter of OppositionChairman Freeze,
When I saw on your agenda that the current owner of 49 Putnam Avenue
wants to remove the ells and move the house. The Ropes house is an iconic
structure in Cotuit. It is my understanding it was the first summer home built in
Cotuit. I can not imagine driving
into or out of the village not seeing the Ropes house. I am concerned if a three
hundred old
house could tolerate being moved. Has a structural engineer evaluated the house.
The English pole barn on the property was left to demo by neglect. Any thing the
committee can do to save the house in place would be preferably but I do know the
constraints you work under.
