Overview: The Chatham Historical Commission recently held a meeting where the primary focus was the approval of restoration work for the historically property on Main Street. This site, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, caught the attention of both the commission and the public due to its age and status within the National Historic Registered District. The commission determined that the proposed restoration, which includes replacing clapboard, repairing trim, and window replacement, would not substantially alter the historical integrity of the building, thereby avoiding the imposition of a demolition delay.
