NEW PROGRAM - PHOTOGRAPHIC RECORD OF BUILDING DEMOLITIONS

In response to the number of historic Belmont properties being demolished to make way for new buildings, beginning in 2008, the Historical Society has started a program with the Town of Belmont to photograph buildings slated for demolition to be kept in the files of the historical society. Special thanks goes to Ron Sacca for suggesting this idea and Glenn Clancy of the town of Belmont for notifying the historical society when a demolition permit is issued. View demolitions in 2008.
