MacSwan, Chairman Barnstable Historic District Committee Old King's Highway Regional Historic District 2160 Main Street West Barnstable, Mass. 02668 Dear Mr. MacSwan: This is with reference to my property at 10 Aunt Hatch Lane, West Barnstable, Mass. , from which the building was removed this summer without authorization from your Committee. When this was done, I was holding a permit from the Building Inspector to raze the building which I miscon- strued as meaning that no additional authorization was re- quired from any other department or Committee. I have since learned that a specific authorization, after hearing, was necessary from your Committee before such removal might be done, and I regret my error. While it has no bearing upon my action, I did learn later that the entire building was so affected by termites that it could not have withstood removal and relocation in any event. To indicate my continued support of the purpose and activities of your Committee, I agree that if the Planning Board of Barnstable approves a-plan of subdivision of my land along Aunt Hatch Lane, I will impose a restriction upon a lot requiring the construction of a building of authentic Colonial design on such lot., or move an antique building onto such lot. Yours very truly, /s/ Catherine C. Trowbridge Catherine C. Trowbridge f • 221 N. Norris Avenue Tucson AZ 85719 August 9, 1982 Town of Barnstable Assessor's Office 367 Main Street Hyannis MA 02601 Dear Sirs, Since it is difficult for me to acquire an abatement form, I am writing you in regard to your answer dated April 15, 1982 of "taking no action on an abatement for Fiscal year 1982" which ended June 30, 1982. My request was for an abatement on the building only(house, #10 Aunt Hatch Lane) valued at $15,750, map 257, parcel 18000, book 1006, page 326. This building was demolished April 1, 1982 by permit #23805 issued me February 11, 1982 by Joseph D. Daluz, Building Inspector for the Town of Barnstable. The contractor, hired by me to demolish this building, is Jackson R. Hibbert, P.O. Box 168, Dennisport, MA. Final tax for fiscal year 1982 ending June 30 was paid by me and paid tax receipt from your office received by me. Town of Barnstable tax on this building for fiscal year 1982 was $362.27. Since the building was demolished April 1, 1982, I have paid a tax for three months on a non-existant structure $362.27 X 3 = $90.56 12(mos.) which amount is owed me by your office. I am assuming the tax bill for fiscal year 1983 which I will be receiving this Fall will reflect this change. Yours1y ttrr�uly, Catherine C. Trowbridge CCT/pt cc: Attorney Daniel J.

In fact, the principal reason why I suggested -- filing the application to validate the removal — _ _ of your building was because Mr .Deluz himself suggested that I do so.
