DEMOLITION REVIEW 92 KILBURN STREET
Item Detail:
25. COMMUNICATION/ DEMOLITION New Bedford Historical Commission, to City Council, re: BUILDING DEMOLITION REVIEW OF 92 KILBURN STREET, (MAP 79/LOT 1), a Portion of a Circa 1891 Brick Mill structure – advising that “the property’s association with New Bedford’s early cotton textile industry provides historical significance to the property as a whole; however the portion of the mill seeking demolition no longer retains architectural significance due to its severe alterations; the portion of the mill seeking demolition is a small section of Mill #2, the remaining portion is abandoned and under the ownership of Revere Copper; the selective demolition of mill structures, particularly those which no longer retain significance, should be considered as a means to preserving and supporting those portions of a mill complex which can be positively adapted for new uses, in light of these findings, ‘the New Bedford Historical Commission has determined that the structure at 92 Kilburn Street is a neither a historically significant nor a Preferably Preserved structure.”
