HomeMy WebLinkAboutDemolition Request 09.20.18256 Old Main St., South Yarmouth
This property is subject to the requirements of Chapter 92. HISTORIC PROPERTIES of the
Yarmouth Town By laws for the following reasons:
• Approx. year built 1918
• Is listed as a contributing structure in the SY/BR Historic District
Therefore, a "significant" determination is required to be made within 10 business days of receipt
of Demolition Request.
This property is currently zoned as residential, so any other intended use would need to go to
the Zoning Board of Appeals. Being that this building was formally a gas station, the owner is
having trouble selling it as a residential property. He is stuck paying taxes on an unusable
building and has decided to move forward with demolition with the hopes of a sale. He is very
aware that a demo delay of up to 180 days may be imposed.
Thursday, 09/20/18:
Building Department received an application for a Demolition Permit to fully demolish the
building located at 256 Old Main Street. "Significant" determination to be made by Thursday,
October 4, 2018.
Thursday, October 4, 2018:
Yarmouth Historical Commission met in quorum and discussed the proposed full demolition.
They voted unanimously in their decision that this building does not hold enough significance to
warrant a demolition delay. Therefore, the Commission agreed that the full demolition of this
building should be allowed to move forward as proposed.
Attached are the following items:
• Demolition Delay Procedure Flowchart
• Demolition Permit Application
• Assessor's Map & Property Card
• MACRIS Information

South Yarmouth/Bass River Historic District,
Section number 8 Page 5 Yarmouth, Massachsuetts
area. Some district dwellings with important associations from the period
include the Henry Thacher House, 10 Pleasant Street (ca. 1800; X653 -U-9), where
poet/novelist Conrad Aiken resided from 1919-1929—,and the House of Seven
Chimneys, 256 Pleasant_ Street (1904; #327), which was the home of Charles
Henry Davis, an important regional and national leader.
Many of the late 19th and early 20th century dwellings within the district,
especially those on Main Street, are more suburban than resort -related. The
pair of bungalows with their shared garage at 232 and 234 Main Street are good
examples (1922; #45-A-1 and 2). Two important early modern period structures
within the district that reflect_ the early impact of the automobile are the
Speedway Gas Station, 256 Main Street (1918; #45-B-4), and Hamblin's Garage,
206 Main Street 1924; #45-A-10). The latter is constructed of rusticated
concrete blocks produced at the David Frank Sears cement, works that stood at
the rear of the lot; many period house foundations are also constructed of
these blocks.
The majority of contributing buildings within the district date from the
prosperous years of the early- to mid 19th century, when the maritime economy
was in full swing. These traditional Cape Cod cottages and fashionable Greek
Revival style dwellings form the backbone of the district's historic
architectural character. Supplemented by a scattering of dwellings in the
earlier Colonial and Federal period styles, as well as the later Gothic
Revival, Italianate, Queen Anne, and Craftsman styles, and punctuated by the
presence of several imposing institutional structures, the district provides a
well-rounded glimpse into the past.
Since World liar II, Cape Cod has experienced rapid growth as a
retirement/resort community. This trend, which is engulfing the traditional
historic landscape, is clearly visible in the immediate surroundings of the
district. To the north are densely developed residential neighborhoods
characterized mainly by reproduction Capes. The interior lots between Main
and Pleasant Streets have been developed in a similar manner, and now create a
barrier between the maritime -related buildings of Main Street and the
resort -related buildings of Pleasant_ Street. To the west, upgrading of Main
Street as State Route 28 in the 1930s has generated endless commercialism and
strip development.. The South Yarmouth/Bass River Historic District, spared by
a bypass in Route 28, remains as an oasis, reminding us of the unique Cape Cod
character that initially attracted tourism to the area.

HISTORICAL COMMITTEE
MEMORANDUM
TO: Mark Grylls, Building Commissioner
FROM: Beth Vozella, Yarmouth Historical Commission Office Administrator
DATE: October 4, 2018
SUBJECT: 256 Old Main St, South Yarmouth- Demolition Request
At its regular meeting on Thursday, October 4, 2018, the Yarmouth Historical Commission with a
quorum present, discussed the proposed full demolition of the old gas station building located at 256 Old
Main St., S Yarmouth.
The Commission voted unanimously in their decision that this building does not hold enough significance
to warrant a demolition delay. Therefore, the Commission agreed that the full demolition of this building
should be allowed to move forward as proposed.
