COMMERCIAL
STOREFRONTS
The intent
of these guidelines as they pertain to commercial storefronts is to preserve
the historic variety of
storefronts that add
interest and vitality to the commercial areas of Newburyport.
Retain and
preserve storefronts contributing to historic character of a commercial
building including
functional and
decorative features and elements.
If an
original or historic entrance will no longer be used, leave the door in place
and secure it. Make any
alteration
reversible so that the doorway can be used in the future with minimal work.
Recommendations:
Reuse
existing original hardware and locks if possible.
