Here is more about the commission:
The Hanover Historical Commission is the town’s agency responsible for
identifying, evaluating, and protecting the historical and archaeological
assets within the town. It maintains an inventory of the town’s historic
assets and administers specific statutes that protect historic properties.
The Hanover Historical Commission was formed in 1983 to oversee the
preservation of our town’s historical elements. The Select Board appoints
five members, each serving a three-year term. The Commission is composed of
an architect, a real estate person, a member of the Hanover Historical
Society, and two members at large.
The Commission meets monthly and cooperates with the Planning Board,
Building Inspector, Assessor, Historical Society, and other groups and
individuals who might seek their advice. The Board suggests appropriate
names for new subdivisions, reviews applications for demolition permits
from the Building Inspector, receives applications for the installation of
“date boards” for old houses, and works to preserve the historical and
pastoral atmosphere of this fine New England town.
The Commission administers Section 6-26 of the town’s bylaws, “Preservation
of Historically Significant Buildings,” by reviewing demolition permit
applications for structures older than 75 years. The Commission may
determine that a structure is historically significant and is empowered to
delay the demolition of significant buildings by up to one year while
preservation alternatives are explored.
