Jeffries Point Historic District Community Meeting

JPNA Board of Directors  Community Development, Community Events

A community meeting to discuss the creation of a new National Register Historic District in Jeffries Point.

All are welcome!

For more information, including materials presented at this meeting, visit the National Register District page.

When: Wednesday, April 4, 2018 6 pm – 7 pm

Where: East Boston Neighborhood Health Center Training Building (250 Sumner Street), 1st Floor Conference Room.

The Boston Landmarks Commission and the Mass. Historical Commission have determined that part of Jeffries Point surrounding Brophy Park/Belmont Square is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places as a district (see image below for the proposed “Belmont Historic District” boundaries in blue). Designation will represent national recognition of the value of Jeffries Point’s historic architecture.

This is a preliminary meeting to inform residents and answer questions about the proposed district before moving forward with the nomination. Staff from the Boston Landmarks Commission and the Mass. Historical Commission will take questions and explain what the National Register is, the effects and benefits of listing on the Register, and what the designation will mean for Jeffries Point (short answer: National Register designation offers certain benefits to the community while placing no restrictions on homeowners using private funds to work on their homes).
