Historic District Commission

 Come listen, learn, and participate in the plans for the Sanborn Seminary building and property

The Historic District Commission is Kingston’s land use Board charged with preserving the historical and architectural heritage of the Historic District Zones of the Town. The Commission is currently reviewing plans submitted by the private company that has purchased the historic Sanborn Seminary building and surrounding lands. The Commission members encourage you to attend the public meetings to learn about this significant development within our town. HDC meets the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 7 PM in the town hall.    

The Historic District Commission certifies compliance with the Historic District Ordinances enacted by the town's voters. The goal is to preserve the historical and architectural heritage of the Historic District Zones of the Town. The Commission has established a procedure to accomplish this purpose. They also serve in an advisory capacity to the town's other Land Use Boards and the town's inspection personnel.

The Commission meets on a monthly basis, on the second Tuesday at 7:00 pm, in the Town Hall. The public is welcome to attend. Members are appointed by the Board of Selectmen. Applications for consideration of a proposed project can be obtained in the Selectmen's Office at the Town Hall or by clicking on the link to the left.
