I. Project Specifics:
• Project location, including address and parcel number
The Smith Charities building is located at 51 Main Street in Northampton, MA. It is
owned by The Trustees of Smith Charities. Maps and plot plans for the building are included
with this application. From Smith Charities, the project would be overseen by Smith Charities
President, David A. Murphy, email: mail@davidmurphy.com.
• Names and addresses of project architects, contractors, and consultants
The architectural firm is Jones Whitsett Architects, with the principal architect being Ms.
Dorcas Brooks, AIA, 308 Main Street, Greenfield, MA, 01301, phone: 413-773-5551, email:
db@joneswhitsett.com.
The engineering firm that would complete the work for this restoration project would be
Structures North, John M. Wathne (President), address: 60 Washington Street, Suite 401, Salem,
MA 01970-3517, phone 978-745-6817, email: jwathne@structures-north.com.
• Project Description:
This proposal is for Phase 2 of restoration work that was previously funded by a CPA
grant. The Phase 2 emergency repairs would include restoring (and providing necessary
architectural services required for bidding and establishing specs for the restoration) of the
eastern elevation of the building which would include the chimney and other sections of the
façade of the building. This proposed Phase 2 restoration work is essential both for the historic
integrity of the building and for safety purposes.
• Project Budget:
The total budget for this project is based on the estimate provided by Jones Whitsett
Architects after consultation with Structures North. That estimate is attached. This proposal is
seeking the lowest range of that budget for all the items listed by Jones Whitsett Architects as
part of Phase 2 restoration work ($399.218) minus $50,000 which Smith Charities will be
applying for in a grant application it will file in the spring with the Massachusetts Historic
Commission. Therefore, the total amount Smith Charities is seeking in this CPA proposal is
$349,218.1
Jones Whitsett Architects provided an assessment (commissioned with CPA funds) that
determined that many repairs to the Smith Charities building are considered emergency repairs.
As such, they are needed to preserve the building. In conversation with staff at Jones Whitsett,
1 If the CPA Committee determines that the complete list of needed restoration work provided by Jones Whitsett
Architects is not possible at this time, Smith Charities would seek to complete the top priority items and would then
move the final three items (i.e., Quoin Replacement, Ashlar Patching and Unit Replacement, and Ashlar Edge Spall
Repair) to a CPA proposal for the following year, converting this project into a multi-year project. If postponing
these three items, Smith Charities would request the CPA provide the median estimate of $249,425 (minus $50,000
which Smith Charities will seek from the Massachusetts Historic Commission) with a bottom-line CPA request of
$199,425 for this year’s CPA proposal. The reason Smith Charities would seek the median estimate is because
construction costs have increased dramatically during COVID and it is expected that costs will continue to escalate.
Also, the last time Smith Charities was granted funds from CPA, those funds were not adequate to complete all the
emergency restoration that had been part of the initial Phase I. For example, the collar ties, which help keep the
walls from bowing out, could not be completed during Phase I because there were insufficient funds.
3
we have been told that some of the repairs are needed because walls are bowing and the chimney
is not stable. Continued deterioration of the stone façade will occur if this historic restoration
does not occur.
• Multi-Year Funding:
As stated in footnote 1, though Smith Charities would prefer to have this proposal be
completed in one funding year (which might also save on construction costs since building
scaffolding and undergoing significant masonry work with cranes will be more costly to do twice
rather than as part of one larger construction project), this could be broken up into a two-year
funding project.
• Project Timeline:
Jones Whitsett Architects have stated that they believe this project could be completed by
October 31, 2023, and it could begin as early as February 1, 2023.
• Feasibility:
Phase I of this restoration project was successfully completed.2 The consultants and
contractors for Phase I are the same people who will complete Phase 2 if this proposal is funded.
They are professionals capable of completing all aspects of this project. Their expertise and prior
track record in Phase I show this Phase 2 project is feasible and will be completed as described if
funded.
• Maps and visual materials:
Relevant maps and photos are included with this application.
II. Community Preservation Criteria
Below is information about how this project meets the Community Preservation Act criteria
which are bolded in red.
• Contributes to the preservation of Northampton’s unique character by restoring
an architecturally unique historic structure:
The Smith Charities 1865 building located at 51 Main Street in Northampton, designed
by local architect William Fenno Pratt, is an architectural gem, though one in serious need of
structural restoration. The building is important not only as an important architectural landmark
but also from a historical perspective, since it has been serving the same purpose, housing Smith
Charities, since its inception more than a century and a half ago. Characterized by ornately
carved brownstone and facia with an elaborate cornice, this building is unique in Northampton
and one of the cornerstones for Northampton’s Historic Downtown District established in 1976.
As is described in greater detail in the pages that follow, this building is well-established as a
great architectural asset for Northampton and the broader community, as is also recognized on
the website of Historic Northampton, see http://www.historic-
northampton.org/virtual_tours/architecture/q1smithcharities.html.
22 See supplemental materials detailing the completion of Phase I, including the Certificate of Completion.

This project contributes to the enhancement of the quality of life of residents and serves
under-served populations.
Smith Charities promotes quality of life for Northampton residents through its continued
charitable mission that was established by law through the will of Oliver Smith in 1845.
For example, countless widows with children and tradespeople have received financial
support through Smith Charities. One woman who recently received funding as a widow with
children sent a thank you card stating how indispensable the funding was that she received. She
stated, “I was very overwhelmed lately as I discovered that my daughter needs her wisdom teeth
out and I had to pay $2200 with two weeks’ notice. I had no inclination of how I was going to do
it and of course it needed to be done as the wisdom teeth have been having considerable issues
and are painful. This gift was a Godsend and I am so very grateful…”3
Part of City-Wide Planning efforts
As is discussed in greater detail below, the Smith Charities building was part of the
planning efforts that resulted in Northampton’s Historic Downtown designation.
Saves resources that would otherwise be threatened
The Smith Charities building, an architectural gem, is in serious need of emergency
repairs as is stated in detail in the architectural assessment by Jones Whitsett that is included with
this application. To cite just one of many examples, the report discusses:
3 The widow’s name is omitted to protect her privacy.

Open Gaps and Deteriorated Keystones-
There are open gaps within the ashair construction above many of the key stones, many
of which are damaged. These may be a result of the keystones slipping downward or
from their tops deteriorating, or on the original miss-fit in the masonry. One keystone in
particular is loose and hanging partway out of the wall. We recommend that the key
stones be replaced with new ones that are properly sized to fill the gaps above them. This
is a Priority 1 item.
Receives endorsement by community groups, municipal boards, and/or departments
This restoration work has been supported in the past by the Northampton Historic
Commission, the Massachusetts Historic Commission, and by members of the community.
Letters of support are included with this application.
Leverages additional public funds
As the letter from the Massachusetts Historic Commission from 2020 states, Smith
Charities was able to secure an initial grant of $50,000 from the Massachusetts Historic
Commission for Phase I of this restoration project.4 If this CPA proposal is granted, that grant
would be used to leverage additional State funds as Smith Charities would again apply for
$50,000 in state funds for phase II of this project. $50,000 was the maximum amount that the
Massachusetts Historic Commission gave out to any recipient during their initial funding cycle.
Can be implemented expeditiously and within budget
The completion of Phase I of this project was expeditious and completed most of the
items that were included in that phase. It is expected that Phase II would be equally expeditious
since the same contractors and consultants will be employed. If the funding provided does not
cover all the hoped-for restoration work, then Smith Charities would prioritize the highest
priority items.
Advances a public purpose.
Smith Charities is a not-for-profit entity. It exists solely to implement the 1800s will of
Oliver Smith and his purpose to provide charitable grants to those he perceived to be the most
needy in our community. His mother was a widow so it is not surprising that widows with
children are one category of recipients he established. Trades people were another category. He
came from a farming family and believed in supporting young people who were developing a
trade. As was intended by Oliver Smith, Smith Charities collaborates with and provides funding
4 Note: Smith Charities had first applied for $85,000 from the Massachusetts Historic Commission but was only
granted $50,000 initially. We were informed that no organization received more than $50,000 in the initial
distribution of grants. However, the Massachusetts Historic Commission did give Smith Charities an additional
$35,000 later on when it turned out it had surplus funds. It is doubtful that there would be surplus funds again,
however, and, even with those surplus funds from last time, the complete list of restoration work that was initially
part of Phase I was not able to be completed. As previously stated, the collar ties could not be completed though
they were part of Phase I.

for Smith Vocational School. The charity supports young apprentices as well as individuals
obtaining their nursing degrees, both categories established by Oliver Smith himself.
3. Addresses recommendations contained in the Sustainable Northampton comprehensive
plan and/or the Northampton Open Space, Recreation, and Mixed-Use Trail Plan 2011-
2018
Northampton’s most recent Open Space, Recreation and Mixed-Use Trail plan has
recommendations dealing with Open Space and Recreation, but it does make a reference to the
importance of Northampton’s downtown historic district which includes the Smith Charities
building. Specifically, it states:
Northampton’s streets follow, essentially, the same paths that were laid out in the 17th
century, and there are a number of surviving 18th century structures in Northampton.
Downtown retains much of its 19th century character. The modest fortunes of local
merchants and industrialists financed numerous Victorian mansions and picturesque
cottages as well as the commercial blocks in the Downtown Historic District…
Northampton’s Community Preservation Plan, revised January 2022, states that
“Hundreds of historic buildings and landscapes are located within Northampton. Some of these
resources are in dire need of restoration, rehabilitation or preservation.” The Smith Charities
building falls within this category as it is in need of emergency repairs that are detailed in the
Assessment report prepared by Jones Whitsett Architects (see report included with this
application). Northampton’s Community Preservation Plan discusses preservation priorities. For
example, it states,
The Central Business Architecture Ordinance was adopted in 1999 to preserve and
enhance the pedestrian-scale character, culture, and economy of downtown Northampton
by preserving historic and architecturally valuable buildings and features, and by
encouraging compatible building design.
The Smith Charities building is located in the heart of Northampton’s downtown and would
presumably fall within the goals of the Central Business Architecture Ordinance.
III. Addressing Northampton’s CPA Decision Guidelines
Northampton’s CPA Decision Guidelines outline numerous factors that are considered in
assessing CPA proposals. Below are those guidelines (in red), each followed by information as to
how this proposal satisfies those guidelines.
Protects, preserves, enhances, restores and/or rehabilitate a property, feature or resource
of historical significance
The Smith Charities 1865 building, part of Northampton’s Downtown Historic District, is
a feature of historical significance; indeed, it is an architectural treasure for Northampton. Page 5
of this proposal offers more specifics about the historical value of the building. This restoration
7
work, described as emergency repairs by Jones/Whitsett, is needed to protect the long-term
survival of this building.
Owners have ability to maintain the historic resource over the long term.
The restoration work being proposed is stone masonry work that should last at least for
the next century. The stone building itself has stood solidly for more than a century and a half.
These restorations should endure even longer considering the engineering and masonry is based
on modern techniques and materials, while also preserving the architectural integrity in a
historically accurate manner. Smith Charities is committed to preserving the building. Smith
Charities has operated out of this building since the non-profit came into existence more than
150 years ago, and it plans to continue to use this building in perpetuity.5
Includes granting of a permanent historic preservation restriction or other preservation
Guarantee.
There is already a permanent historic preservation restriction on this building because of
the restoration work completed with CPA funding from Phase I. A copy of the deed and historic
preservation restriction for this building are included with this application.
Is architecturally significant
The 2020 letter from the Massachusetts Historic Commission (included with this application)
includes these two paragraphs about the Smith Charities’ building’s historical significance:
The free-standing Smith Charities building at 51 Main St. was designed by William F.
Pratt, a local architect. The building typifies the Victorian version of the renaissance
revival (in contrast to the later revival exemplified by the masonic block at 25 Main St.).
The building is of ashlar masonry and contains double light venetian windows. The
corners of the building are carefully quoin and the cutting of the details is meticulous and
crisp. The Victorian character of the building comes through especially in the
simplification in full scale of the detailing.
The monumental aspect of the Smith Charities building harmonizes with its purpose.
Oliver Smith of Hatfield died in 1845 leaving a remarkable will, whereby indigent
children and women were to receive financial assistance. Rufus Choate contested the will
for Smith’s unhappy relatives, but he was no match for Daniel Webster who successfully
defended the will. Countless residents of Northampton have benefited from Smith’s
generosity.
In addition, the February 25, 2020, letter from the Northampton Historic Commission
indicates that on February 24, 2020, “the Northampton Historic Commission discussed the Smith
Charities plans for implementation of priority items [Phase I] identified in the historic study of
the Smith Charities building at 51 Main St. The Commission unanimously agreed that the
building is ‘significant in the history, archaeology, architecture, and culture of the city or town,’
and supports all efforts to restore and rehabilitate the building as identified in the study. The
5 See memo by David Murphy, Smith Charities President, discussing current and future building use.
8
commission encourages support of the Smith Charities MPPF proposal to further preservation
steps for an important structure within the downtown national register historic district.”
Has been maintained in an historically appropriate manner, and there are plans and
capabilities for continued maintenance into the future.
Smith Charities is subject to a permanent preservation restriction because of its prior
CPA project and it will abide by all aspects of this restriction. It has also signed an Assurance of
Compliance with the Massachusetts Historic Commission which includes these requirements:
8. Project Work Standards: The applicant agrees the project work will meet the Secretary
of the Interior’s “Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties” and, if applicable,
“with Guidelines for the Treatment of Cultural Landscapes.
20. Professional Design Services: The applicant must retain the services of a preservation
architect or landscape architect to prepare outline plans and specifications for
Application, and to provide professional design services throughout the duration of the
project.
Smith Charities’ financial estimate, included with this application, includes the
architectural services of Jones, Whitsett Architects who are exactly the kind of specialists
contemplated by this requirement. Their expertise, as well as the masonry skills of Structures
North (see letter from Structures North included with this application) will ensure that
historically accurate and architecturally sound restoration work is performed at all times.
Is listed on the National Register of Historic Places or within a National Register Historic
District or a Local Historic District or has been determined significant by the Historical
Commission
As stated above, the historical and architectural significance of the building has been
verified by the local and state historic commissions and by the fact that the building is part of the
Northampton Downtown Historic District designation.
Work proposed is consistent with historic nature of the building or site proposed work
covers essential and important features of the property
The architectural assessment upon which this project proposal is based is consistent with
the historic nature of the building and all restoration work is designed to preserve essential and
important architectural features of the property.
Consistent with findings and recommendations of an historic structures report
All the recommendations in the architectural assessment report are consistent with
historical preservation requirements and this proposal grows directly out of the architectural
assessment report.

Related to public service or community-oriented activities
As discussed above, Smith Charities work is designed to benefit the neediest populations
in our community. Since Oliver Smith’s will was enacted in the mid-1800s, Smith Charities has
provided more than $9 million in funding to widows with children, trades people and others.6
Public will have access to the building or landscape
The Smith Charities building is open during business hours and members of the public
are welcome to enter the premises. Plus, the building itself is part of the architectural landscape
that makes the Northampton Downtown Historic District feel old-fashioned and inviting. Finally,
the architectural design is a masterpiece of masonry, an architectural treasure on display on Main
Street that the public walks by every day.
Furthers recommendations of an historic structures report
A prior CPA grant funded the Smith Charities Historic Building Conditions Assessment
and Treatment Plan Final Report authored by Jones Whitsett Architects, the same architectural
firm that has compiled the attached estimate for Phase 2 of the emergency repairs upon which
this CPA proposal is based.
For all the reasons stated in this application, Smith Charities respectfully requests that the
CPA Committee grant this application to allow for emergency restoration for this architecturally
unique and valuable building.
