HISTORICAL COMMITTEE
MEMORANDUM
TO: Mark Grylls, Building Commissioner
FROM: Lisa Sherman, Office Administrator of the Historical Commission
DATE: March 9, 2023
SUBJECT: 87 Old Main Street – Construction Request
The Yarmouth Historical Commission considered the above referenced property in response to a request
for an addition. The intended purpose of the construction is to add a main bedroom suite to the house. The
Commission held a public meeting on March 9, 2023 to review this request.
The Commission recognized that the property is located within the Bass River National Registered
Historic District. The Commission reviewed plans and renderings of the proposed addition. Plans
previously proposed by Lewis Bay Builders were shared with Sarah Korjeff of the Cape Cod
Commission, who suggested a few adjustments so the design is a better fit with the historic nature of the
property. Lewis Bay Builders updated the design to account for the revisions suggested by the Cape Cod
Commission. The Yarmouth Historical Commission voted unanimously on March 9, 2023 that the revised
design of the addition is appropriate to be built within the Bass River Historic District.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Cc: Yarmouth Historic Commission
