25C-251 Three County Fair Demo 2014-03-13City of Northampton Massachusetts DEPARTMENT OF BUILDING INSPECTIONS 212 Main Street ● Municipal Building Northampton, MA 01060 Northampton Historical Commission Sarah LaValley, Planning and Sustainability 210 Main St Northampton, MA 01060 March 13, 2014 Dear Commission Members, I have received an application to demolish one of the small buildings on the Three County Fairgrounds. It is at the northwest corner of the property. It is referred to as the old carriage shed. I am unable to accurately determine the date of construction; it is build with sawn dimensional lumber and wire nails but it could very well be earlier than 1901. The building is in very poor condition. The roof sheathing is gone over extensive areas. The tops of the walls are rotting and the structure of the building has deteriorated. I have marked the permit as needing demolition review. The building is visible from the back yard of the house at 227 Bridge Street and from the fairgrounds. You can contact the Three County Fair office at (413) 584-2237. Bruce Shallcross will arrange access to the building. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Respectfully, Louis Hasbrouck Building Commissioner City of Northampton (413) 587-1240 lhasbrouck@northamptonma.gov
