Historical Commission Meeting
The Commission reviewed an owner's request to install skylights at 118 Congress St and voted to designate the property as not historically significant.
The Amesbury Historical Commission met on January 4, 2024. After routine business, members considered an application concerning 118 Congress Street, where the owner proposed installing skylights. Commissioners reviewed the property's context and history, noting it is not listed in the town's inventory of historically significant structures, sits on an approximately 10-acre parcel set back from the street, and was built circa 1900 with no notable historical associations identified.
Following discussion, Dick Joltes moved to designate the house at 118 Congress Street as not historically significant; the motion was seconded by Steve Klomps and passed unanimously (4-0). There were no recorded public comments on the item. The meeting concluded shortly thereafter.
