The Longmeadow Historic District was established
in 1973. It includes the Longmeadow Green and surrounding areas,
including the Town Hall, and the old section of the cemetery
(a map showing the exact boundaries can be viewed at the office
of the Town clerk). The purpose of the Longmeadow Historic District
is to preserve the unique tapestry of the historic areas and
to assure the preservation of its historic values to the community.
Any property owner in the district must apply for a certificate
of appropriateness before making any alterations to property
in the District, that is visible from a public way. The Historic
District Commission is an appointed board whose responsibility
it is to approve or deny those applications.
Applications may be copied from this website
or obtained from the Town Office, and submitted by noon 15 days
before a scheduled meeting. Meetings are currently scheduled
for the second Tuesday of each month.
