The Future Fenway Fenway Park Preservation Proposal

Introduction

An alternative that preserves our shared past

Fenway Park

West Fens

An alternative that is economically efficient

An alternative that addresses Team Goals and Objectives


Assumptions

Saving Real History is better than reconstructing history

The needs of the Team, and their patrons, should be addressed in the existing structure

The Fenway neighborhood is also historic. The Park and the neighborhood must work together to conserve a valuable common past

Historic Buildings can continue to lead meaningful lives in the face of change

Historic Preservation represents the most economically efficient alternative

The value of Fenway as an historic resource is well established: the National Park Service


Preservation Means

Living History

The real McCoy, not a reproduction

Change can be accommodated while real history lives on

Assuring predictability for owner and neighbors

Historic preservation, construction dollar for dollar, generates more jobs than new construction


Landmarks and Change in Boston

Changes in use, sometimes radical, can occur in living landmarks

Alterations of and additions to historic structures are accommodated


Landmarks and Change in Boston


Process – Landmark status and the CRMP

Historic Building or Historic District?

District may allow for greater flexibility for Team and neighbors

Fenway is a living, changing place

Accompany certification of status with a Cultural Resource Management Plan

CRMP shows how-to, and answers if/then

Why make Fenway a Landmark?

Predictability – A Roadmap for the future

Economy

Incentives: tax credits for Rehabilitation, tax credits for Conservation Easement donation
