Housing Production Plan | 3 APPLICATION FOR COMMUNITY PRESERVATION ACT FUNDING Date Application Submitted: June 30, 2021 Name of Project Applicant: Town Administrator and Housing Office Name of Co-Applicant(s), if applicable: Name of Contact Person: Donna Kalinick & Jill Scalise Contact Person’s Mailing Address: 2198 Main St. Brewster Town Hall Contact Person’s Daytime Phone Number: 508-896-3701 X1130 or X1169 Contact Person’s email Address: dkalinick@brewster-ma.gov or jscalise@brewster-ma.gov Proposed Project Name: Brewster Housing Production Plan Update Project Address (or assessor’s parcel ID): Not applicable Project Synopsis: Brewster’s Housing Production Plan (HPP) is the foundation of the Town’s Housing Program. The present HPP was approved by the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) in July 2017, has a five-year term, and is set to expire on June 29, 2022. This project is to complete an update of the Town's current HPP. The Plan includes a housing needs assessment, goals, and implementation strategies. Accomplishments such as hiring a Housing Coordinator, creating a Municipal Affordable Housing Trust, and amending the ADU bylaw, were all strategies originally outlined in the existing Housing Plan. The new plan will include the latest census data, explore present housing trends including the impact of the COVID- 19 pandemic, involve outreach to the community, and be compiled in coordination with the Vision Planning effort. HPPs are mandated by the state and having an approved HPP allows the Town to request DHCD's Certification of Municipal Compliance, this is often referred to as 'safe harbor' because it provides a Town with more control over the Comprehensive Permit process. Brewster received DHCD certification of the current Housing Plan for one year from April 2018- April 2019. The Town anticipates another opportunity to apply for HPP certification after the completion of Serenity Brewster. Category: ☐ Open Space ☐ Historic Preservation ☐ Recreation X Community Housing CPA funding requested $25,000 Total Cost of Proposed Project $ 25,000 Housing Production Plan | 4 PROJECT DESCRIPTION Please describe your project, answering all of the following questions in the order presented. Applications will be considered incomplete if all requested information is not provided. Include supporting materials (maps, diagrams, photos, etc.). Please number pages of application. 1. Project Description: Describe the proposed project. Is this part of a larger project or an ongoing project? Brewster’s Housing Production Plan (HPP) is the foundation of the Town’s Housing Program. The present HPP was approved by the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) in July 2017, has a five-year term, and is set to expire on June 29, 2022. This project is to complete an update of the Town's current HPP. The Plan, which includes a housing needs assessment, goals, and implementation strategies, has guided the Town's housing work over the past four years. Initiatives such as hiring a Housing Coordinator, creating a Municipal Affordable Housing Trust, and amending the ADU bylaw, are all strategies outlined in the current Housing Plan. A chart of the plan's implementation strategies (Attachment A) demonstrates how the plan has informed Brewster's housing program and led to numerous accomplishments. The Housing Plan goals (Attachment B) are even reflected in the CPC Community Housing grant criteria. The new plan will include the latest census data, explore present housing trends, involve outreach to the community, and be compiled in coordination with the Vision Planning effort. An approved Housing Production Plan is a requirement for the Town’s Local Comprehensive Plan. The timing of the plan enables the inclusion of the upcoming 2020 Census data and American Community Survey data. Additionally, it will examine the impact of the COVID pandemic on housing in the Town. HPPs are mandated by the state (Attachment C) and having an approved HPP allows the Town to request DHCD's Certification of Municipal Compliance. This certification can occur when, in one year, a Town produces affordable housing units totaling at least 0.5% of the Town's total year-round housing units. Presently, in Brewster, this formula equals the production of 24 Subsidized Housing Inventory, affordable units in one year. Certification of Municipal Compliance is often referred to as 'safe harbor' because it provides a Town with more control over the Comprehensive Permit process. Brewster received DHCD certification of the current Housing Plan for one year from April 2018- April 2019. The Town anticipates another opportunity to apply for HPP certification after the completion of Serenity Brewster. 2. For Historic Preservation projects: Attach proof of listing on the State Register of Historic Places or a letter from the Brewster Historic Commission indicating that the resource has been determined to be significant in the history, archaeology, architecture, or culture of Brewster. Please note that rehabilitation projects must comply with the Secretary of the Interior Standards for Treatment of Historic Properties. Additional information and analysis will be needed for projects submitted by churches/religious organizations to determine if they comply with the SJC’s Caplan vs. Town of Acton decision. 3. CPA Goals/Criteria: Describe how this project accomplishes the goals and objectives of the CPA (refer to the attached general and issue-specific criteria and identify which of these apply to the project). This project addresses numerous criteria noted by the CPC. Housing Production Plan | 5 • Contribute to the preservation of Brewster’s unique character – Updating the Housing Plan will re-assess Town’s housing situation, identify goals and strategies, and assist the Town in preserving its housing and character. • Boost the vitality of the Town –The HPP will boost the vitality of the Town by addressing the current housing and economic needs of the Town. • Enhance the quality of life for Brewster residents- Increasing housing options in the town will enhance the quality of life for Brewster residents. • Save resources that would otherwise be threatened- Affordable housing is a threatened resource in the community. • Serve a currently under-served Town population – Low- and moderate-income households are a priority of the State’s Subsidized Housing Inventory (SHI) and a focus of the HPP. Additionally, the HPP addresses fair housing requirements. This includes reducing the potential for disparate impact on protected classes. • Demonstrate practicality and feasibility, and ability to implement within budget – The budget and costs have been determined in a methodical, informed manner. Town Administration has demonstrated the ability to implement within budget. • Demonstrate a positive cost/benefit relationship – These funds focused on planning can have a much larger impact by guiding the actual programs of the Town. The housing accomplishments based on the current HPP demonstrate the cost/benefit relationship for the Town. • Leverage additional public and/or private funds – The completion and implementation of the HPP will enable the Town to leverage additional funds from the state and from local non-profits. This includes applying for the State’s Housing Choice designation. The current HPP assisted in the following funds: a 1.68 million MassWorks grant for infrastructure related to the Brewster Woods development, a $10,000 Mass Housing Partnership (MHP) grant for a pre-feasibility study for the Millstone Community Housing property, MHP free training sessions and support for the Housing Trust, and Habitat for Humanity’s proposal for two homes on Red Top Road. • Preserve, enhance or better utilize existing Town resources – The HPP will help determine how to better enable the Town to preserve, enhance and utilize Town resources as they relate to Housing and Community Development. • Receive endorsement by other Town committees and the Brewster public at large – The Brewster Affordable Housing Trust, Planning Board, Vision Planning Committee and Select Board support this request. The project also addresses Community Housing criteria. Most of the listed housing criteria are found in the present HPP goals and all will be addressed through the Plan. For example, it is expected that the plan will identify strategies to increase the supply of year-round affordable rental housing, increase the variety of mixed income choices, and create housing that is affordable for senior and people with disabilities as well as encourage fair housing best policies. Specific focus will be found on the following criteria. • Build support for addressing housing needs through partnerships with conservation groups and non- profit and for-profit developers. o Outreach in the drafting of the HPP will assist in building support and partnerships. • Increase local capacity to plan, advocate for, and create affordable housing, preserve the affordability and condition of existing affordable units, and monitor affordable housing restrictions. o The updated HPP will better guide the Town in these areas to meet this goal. • Provide at least 10% of Brewster’s year-round housing units as affordable housing in order to meet local and regional needs. o A specific purpose of the HPP in to assist the Town in meeting the 10% affordable housing goal. In 2017, when the current HPP was approved, Brewster’s SHI was 5.3% with 255 affordable Housing Production Plan | 6 units. Eight of the units were homes that received housing rehabilitation funds and had expiring affordability restrictions by July 2019. Today, according to DHCD, Brewster’s SHI is 5.6% with 268 affordable units. Additionally, 30 affordable units will be returned to the SHI when Brewster Woods receives Certificates of Occupancy. Thus, this will be a total of 298 units for 6.2% SHI. 4. Community Benefits: What are the community benefits of the project? The project will assist the Town in identifying and addressing its community housing challenges. Having more, varied housing options will assist residents, improve the town’s economy, and help maintain the community character. It will enable the Town to better qualify for state programs such as Housing Choice, achieve ‘safe harbor’, and leverage additional funds for housing initiatives in the Town. After approval, the plan will also be included as a component of the Town’s Local Comprehensive Plan. 5. Community Support: What is the nature and level of support for this project? Include letters of support and any petitions. There is broad support for this project. The HPP has been instrumental in Brewster's recent housing accomplishments and, in the current environment, the need for community housing is critical. Letters of Support are included from the Select Board, Planning Board, Vision Planning Committee and Affordable Housing Trust. (Attachment D) The Housing Partnership did not supply a Letter of Support because of their advisory role in the CPC process. However, they played a key role in the 2017 HPP process and plan to participate in the community outreach for the HPP. 6. Timeline: What is the schedule for project implementation, including a timeline for all milestones? Please identify any special timing considerations for the project’s implementation. If this is part of a larger project, is it phased? What is the timeline for the entire project? December 2021- Request for Quotes (RFQ) for HPP January 2022- Contract executed February- April 2022- Update of HPP, including compiling of demographics, update of needs assessment, interviews, and outreach. May 2022- Presentation, Public Hearing, and Town approval of HPP June 2022- Submittal of HPP to DHCD The schedule and HPP update will be coordinated with the Vision Planning Committee and the Planning Board. 7. Credentials: What are the qualifications and relevant experience of those undertaking the project? The Housing Coordinator, Assistant Town Administrator and Town Planner will assist with the work on the Housing Production Plan. All have relevant experience with Brewster's Housing Program. A consultant, with experience drafting HPPs, will be hired to prepare the HPP. 8. Budget/Need for Public Funds: What is the total budget (sources of funds and uses/expenses) for the project and schedule for expenditure of CPA funds? All sources of funds and expenses must be clearly identified. Provide the basis for cost estimates whenever possible. (Note: CPA funds may not be used for maintenance.) If this is part of a larger project, what is the budget for the entire project (sources of funds and expenses/uses)? Housing Production Plan | 7 Clearly identify what additional funding sources are available, committed, or under consideration and why public funding would be appropriate. Include copies of commitment letters, if available, and describe any other attempts to secure funding for this project. Provide the most recent audited financial report or if none available, an applicant generated financial report that includes a balance sheet and operating budget. Town-sponsored projects must demonstrate why the project cannot be funded through the Department’s or Committee’s budget. Budget: Housing Production Plan Update • $25,000 in CPA funding to engage a consultant to perform HPP update including needs assessment. • This is the same cost as to prepare the present Brewster HPP and needs assessment. A survey of surrounding town HPP updates was undertaken to determine and confirm the cost estimate. • In-kind contributions- Staff oversight will be provided by the Housing Coordinator, Assistant Town Administrator, and Town Planner. • Schedule for expenditure of funds: All expended in 2022, consistent with timetable of project in #6. Funding/ Financials: • Funds are not available in the Town budget for the HPP. The timing of the Housing Production Plan lends to a CPC application. Conversations were held with the Cape Cod Commission regarding funding. It was not possible to complete a request this year. The next funding round for technical assistance is January 2022. This would not provide enough time to complete the HPP prior to it expiring in June 2022. • HPP’s are an approved use of CPA funds and appropriate for public funding. • If funds are received, the plan update will be a Request for Quotes (RFQ) not to exceed $25,000. 9. Maintenance: If ongoing maintenance is required for your project, who will be responsible for maintenance and how will it be funded? Not applicable 10. Site Control and Appraisal: If the project involves acquisition of real property, provide evidence of site control (deed, purchase and sale, option, etc.). In addition, provide an appraisal of the property’s value by a state licensed appraiser using customary appraising techniques. The CPA does not allow funding for acquisitions if the acquisition price is greater than appraised value.

Brewster CPA Application 2021 1 ATTACHMENT A Latham Centers and its residential school campus offer life-changing programs and resources for children with complex special needs. Founded in 1970 in Brewster, MA, Latham Centers, Inc., operates a residential treatment school for children with special needs ranging from 8 to 22 years old. Our students with multiple diagnoses, including intellectual and cognitive disabilities, developmental delays, emotional disorders, behavioral challenges, and mental illness, receive round-the-clock clinical, educational, and residential care. Latham Centers is world-renowned for its residential treatment program for individuals with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). PWS is a life-threatening genetic disorder that results from a rare congenital disability, an abnormality in the 15th chromosome that strikes approximately one in 15,000 individuals. This syndrome occurs in all races and ethnic groups. There is no cure for PWS. Individuals and their families or guardians must learn to cope with the physical, behavioral, and cognitive challenges it poses. Prader-Willi syndrome primarily affects the area of the brain called the hypothalamus – the control center for many endocrine processes. Individuals with PWS have an insatiable appetite, and they constantly seek food. Other symptoms of PWS include mild-to-moderate developmental disabilities and emotional and behavioral challenges. The diagnosis may also include obsessive-compulsive behaviors such as skin picking. Slow body metabolism, which can lead to obesity and its comorbidities such as diabetes, can be another hallmark of the syndrome. PWS impacts so many aspects of the lives of individuals diagnosed with this syndrome. The resulting stress and strain upon families and guardians only increase as children with PWS age. Failure to provide individuals with PWS the special supportive services they require can be life- threatening. Treatments include an adaptive diet, secured food sources, daily exercise, medication, physical and occupational therapies, growth hormone therapy, and special education services. Latham Centers is currently the only program on the East Coast providing treatment for boys and girls and adults with PWS. Accredited by the Council on Accreditation, Latham helps those with PWS and other complex special needs lead happier, more productive, longer lives. Many students arrive at Latham Centers morbidly obese and diabetic due to their PWS diagnoses, but they graduate at healthy weights. Latham Centers' robust Children's Services, Adult Services, and Transitional (students ages 17-22) programs can enable every resident to thrive. Latham Centers also operates 12 group homes for special needs adults 24/7, 365 days per year in various communities on Cape Cod and in Plymouth and Wareham, MA. Latham Centers Smart Start in Adult Living Project. Brewster CPA Application 2021 2 The proposed SSAL affordable housing project - a newly constructed residential building, featuring seven one-bedroom apartments with a common area, laundry facilities, and a "teaching" kitchen, is part of a larger campus expansion project for Latham Centers, Inc. The residential building will house six young adults ranging in age from 17-22 and 1 -2 house parent(s) who will provide supervision and support. Each of the seven apartments will meet the criteria for affordable housing. People with ID/DD face a housing crisis with many contributing factors, such as a lack of safe, affordable, accessible, and integrated housing, along with significant housing-related discrimination. Historically, families with a disabled child had to place their child in an institution or manage without any supports or services at home. Institutions create an isolated, unnatural way of life that is inappropriate and unnecessary while consuming a disproportionate share of limited public resources. The recognition that individuals with ID/DD can and should live as independently as possible and engage in their communities has led to a growing demand for community-based affordable housing. This demand is fueled by individuals choosing to leave institutional settings, by young adults educated in inclusive schools, and by adults with ID/DD who live with aging parents. However, people with ID/DD are among the nation's poorest citizens. For many, Social Security and Supplemental Security Income benefits, which are often far lower than typical rents, are their primary or sole source of income; beneficiaries are generally priced out of rental markets across the country. This is especially true on Cape Cod, where the cost of living is high. The SSAL project aims to integrate young adults with ID/DD into their communities as active participants. We can accomplish this goal by supporting them as they learn to practice real-life skills in a safe, nurturing environment that enhances confidence and increases independence where appropriate. Through this program, they will learn the skills needed to make the transition to adulthood. In 2013, Latham Centers acquired the former New England Fire and History Museum property located at 1439 Main Street near our Brewster Children's Campus for one dollar. In addition to the construction of the SSAL project, the existing buildings and property will be renovated to create a new campus featuring the Latham Community and Arts Center, a dynamic, multi-use facility for Latham students, adult residents, and members of the community, and a "Meeting House" to be used for administrative meetings, offices, and training. These facilities will serve as a hub for the special-needs community on Cape Cod. They will also be available for discrete use by residents of Brewster and neighboring communities. A building analysis of the existing property structure earmarked for the community center showed that extensive renovation and upgrades are needed. While the foundation, floors, walls, and roof framing appear to be in good condition, considerable work is necessary to repair and outfit the interior and exterior structure. The renovation will include work on the roof, windows, doors, gutters, siding, and fixtures. Mold and water damage remediation will also be required. Upgrades and repairs to the major building systems such as plumbing, heating, and electrical are needed. Further work will be done to bring the building up to code compliance for accessibility and safety as the new Latham Community and Arts Center. The facility will include a recreation space/gymnasium, exercise facilities, an auditorium and stage, an art room, a technology room, a woodshop, and a greenhouse and community garden. The facility will meet Latham Centers' critical expansion needs, revitalize the area, and will serve the community at large during off-peak hours. The Meeting House is currently being used to house our maintenance department and training center. Plans for this building include both system and cosmetic updates, HVAC improvements, new windows, roofing, insulation, and updated electrical. Latham Centers Smart Start in Adult Living Project. Brewster CPA Application 2021 3 The newly constructed SSAL apartment building plans include six affordable efficiency units available to young adults ages 17-22 with ID/DD and a larger unit where the house parent(s) will reside. Latham will support these individuals in developing critical life skills necessary for adulthood. We plan to partner with local high schools and Cape Cod Community College to identify students for the program. They will learn fiscal literacy and job skills to prepare them to find and retain work in the area. Upon aging out of the program, Latham will support them in finding suitable living arrangements and services. This program will provide opportunities for community engagement and mentoring. It will also include opportunities to learn about and use Enabling Technology (assistive technology and remote monitoring support systems) for greater independence and less reliance on direct support staff. Developing comprehensive enabling technology support programs is part of the Massachusetts Department of Developmental Services' Technology Forward Initiative and a key pillar in Latham Centers' strategic vision. This program will expand the local workforce while preparing young adults with ID/DD to live more inclusive independent lives. 460 West Main St. Hyannis, MA 02601 • haconcapecod.org • hac@haconcapecod.org • 508-771-5400 fax: 508-775-7434 May 5 , 2021 To Whom It May Concern: I am writing to express my support for Latham Center's development of eight affordable apartments that will host a transitional living program for young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The program will have a live-in staff person and focus on developing life skills, vocational skill-building and placement, and community integration. The goal of the program is to prepare young adults with challenges to live independently in their community. Upon completing their time in this transitional program, these individuals will move into the community and receive ongoing case management services. The transitional living program is part of a greater campus expansion initiative at the former New England Fire and History Museum parcel located at 1439 Main Street in Brewster and located less than a half-mile from Latham's main campus in Brewster. The new dynamic multi-use Community and Arts Center will provide space for fitness, learning, exploration, and connection. Housing Assistance Corporation (HAC) understands the challenges of finding safe and affordable housing on Cape Cod and supports Latham Center’s goal to provide housing for young adults with disabilities who historically, have limited options to live independently. As an affordable housing developer, we also understand the challenges of planning, designing, and funding a complex project in an environment of sky-rocketing construction costs. We hope you will support the Latham Center’s effort in this endeavor. Established in 1970, Latham Centers is an internationally renowned and nationally-accredited treatment program providing therapeutic, residential, educational, and vocational services to individuals with highly specialized needs. Helping young persons with intellectual and developmental challenges get a good start in adulthood is critical to their future success. Please support this vital program, providing affordable housing during a young adult's initial move into adult living and supporting their success in work and community life.

Box 1888, Brewster, MA 02631 Contact Person’s Daytime Phone Number: 508-896-1744 Contact Person’s email Address: crosby1888@aol.com Proposed Project Name: Crosby Mansion Restoration & Preservation Project Project Address (or assessor’s parcel ID): 163 Crosby Lane, Brewster, MA Project Synopsis: Nickerson State Park, established in 1934, was the ﬁrst state park created in Massachusetts and was made possible by a gift of 1,727 acres to the state by Addie Nickerson of Brewster. Mrs. Nickerson donated the land south of Rt.6a to be used as a “state forest park,” and it was named after her late husband and late son, Roland C. Nickerson. In 1983 the state began an expansion of the park north of 6a which eventually included the purchase of the historic Crosby Mansion. In 1994 the Massachusetts legislature authorized the lease of historic properties, and in 2003 the Town of Brewster, in partnership with the Friends of Crosby Mansion, obtained a long-term lease for the mansion and grounds.* This lease stipulates that the “Lessee”, (the Town of Brewster, acting by and through its Board of Selectmen and Friends of Crosby Mansion Committee) is responsible for the rehabilitation and ongoing maintenance of the property. To fulﬁll our obligations in this regard, we submit this application for CPA funds. 1 1. Project Description: This is a Historic Preservation Proposal for $73,400.00 from Brewster’s Community Preservation funds to support the ongoing work needed to preserve, rehabilitate, and restore Tawasentha, the Crosby Mansion. The goal of this project is to continue ongoing restoration needed to preserve this unique building and protect this irreplaceable part of Brewster’s history for future generations. Work on the mansion by skilled Cape Cod craftspeople and many community volunteers have rehabilitated the mansion over the last 29 years, but at this time there are some critical repairs needed, which require funding. Of particular concern are windows, sections of roof and chimneys that have allowed water to intrude, damaging walls and some ceilings. Property Manager Brian Locke has identiﬁed the following as priority repairs: Repair (FIVE) Chimneys to solve water intrusion Rebuild (ONE) Chimney in Billiards Room Repair damaged sections of dormer ﬂat-roof area Repair Billiards Room roof section Repair section of Front Porch Ceiling by Entrance Door New Window (Custom Order) Billiards Room New Window (Custom Order) third ﬂoor, Back Room New Window (Custom Order) Kitchen Repair Basement Staircase Four Custom Windows for Basement Re-plaster damaged ceilings throughout Mansion Replace water damaged carpet for Function Room Exterior repainting, sections of Mansion 2 Re-putty several second- and third-ﬂoor windows Replace water damaged Function Room ceiling tiles This project will restore damaged sections of the building, provide protection from further decay and address several safety concerns. 2. Historical Signiﬁcance: This project application is eligible for funding in the category of preservation, rehabilitation and/or restoration of Historic Preservation Properties. The signiﬁcance of the Crosby Mansion to Brewster’s history and architecture is evident by its designation as a priority landscape by the Massachusetts DCR Heritage Landscape Program. It is also listed by the The Massachusetts Historical Commission (as seen on next page), which lists both the Nathan Crosby Homestead and the Crosby Mansion as being on the state Register. 3 4 When native son Albert Crosby left the midwest and returned to Brewster in the 1880’s, he came back as a wealthy man. Crosby had operated an alcohol distillery in Chicago and during the Civil War he was able to sell untaxed medicinal alcohol to druggists and the Union Army. Although he suffered signiﬁcant losses in the great Chicago Fire of 1871, he returned to his hometown with substantial funds, newly remarried and with exciting plans for a summer home that would include many features that he and Matilda had admired during their year long “grand tour” of Europe. The Crosbys were one of the founding families of Brewster, and Albert Crosby had grown up in a modest Cape house on farmland owned by his father, Nathan Crosby. This original homestead on Crosby Lane was incorporated into the design of the mansion so that the new construction literally wrapped around the older home. Built by John Hinckley and Sons, Tawasentha was a three-story mansion of thirty-ﬁve rooms overlooking Cape Cod Bay. Completed in 1888, the home was built in the style of Chicago’s Gold Coast mansions and was, at the time, considered the most lavish house on Cape Cod. With 15 ﬁreplaces featuring imported tile, a two- story billiard room, hand-carved oak and mahogany walls and an entrance duplicating one at Buckingham Palace, the home was built with opulent entertaining in mind. The quality of craftsmanship was exceptional, as was the size of the project. Building supplies were brought in by train on a side track from the Old Colony Railroad. The railroad also brought guests to the Brewster estate, including such well known ﬁgures of the day as Helen Keller, the Duke of Wales and Mark Twain. Albert died in 1906, and after Matilda’s death in1928 the Mansion passed to her nieces and was eventually sold. During its history it has been a music school, a restaurant, and a girls’ summer camp. For some years the Mansion lay vacant. It fell into disrepair and suffered damage from vandals as well. Almost 30 years ago a group of local residents banded together to try to save this beautiful and unique building. The architecture of the Crosby Mansion has been variously described as Romanesque, Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Victorian and, by the Massachusetts Historical Commission (survey of Historical Signiﬁcance 1979-1987), as “an eclectic combination of Renaissance/Palladian elements”. With the original 19th century Crosby homestead intact, visible, and at the heart of the Mansion, a family story unfolds and with it a story of our town. Nathan Crosby came to ﬁsh and farm, while his grandson Albert took his ambition to the midwest and, like Samuel Mayo Nickerson, was part of the dynamic 5 industrialization of America during the late 19th century. Related by blood and marriage, the two families inﬂuenced the culture and identity of East Brewster. The donation of land to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in the 1930’s by Addie Nickerson and the creation of Nickerson State Park led to Brewster becoming known as a resort destination. Cottage colonies were built, summer camps were opened and Sea Captains’ homes became inns to welcome visitors. Brewster’s unique character has enhanced the quality of life for its residents for generations as well as for its many seasonal visitors. The continued preservation of Crosby Mansion and the town’s other historic buildings and vistas require both our support and our protection. 3. CPA Goals/Criteria: Preservation of Brewster’s unique character. Located in Brewster’s Historic District, the Crosby Mansion offers a singular window on Brewster’s past. The Nathan Crosby Homestead represents both the maritime and agricultural pursuits of Brewster residents in the early 1800’s while the mansion Albert Crosby built is a cultural museum of the town’s economic and cultural evolution in the latter years of the 19th century. The grounds also retain several remnants of the Mansion’s use as a summer camp, part of a large network of Brewster summer camps that no longer exists. This project will help ensure future generations will be able to experience these glimpses of Brewster’s past. Boost the vitality of the Town. Cape Cod depends heavily on the tourist dollars generated by our many visitors. Shops, restaurants, inns, landscapers and many other businesses beneﬁt when tourists choose Brewster to visit. The Friends of Crosby Mansion are dedicated to not only preserving and restoring the Mansion but also to making the Mansion more available to the public. The summer of 2021 will see weekly Sunday Open Houses during the season as well as the promotion of private tours and functions. There are also efforts to forge connections with other Brewster landmarks to highlight the historic sites our town has to offer. Cobb House and the Brewster Historical Society, Cape Rep, Stony Brook Mill and the Drummer Boy Park are additional historic sites that can attract tourists to visit, stay and explore what Brewster has to offer. 6 Enhance the quality of life for Brewster residents. This application is for the preservation and the restoration of a historic resource that is one of a kind. Brewster residents can be proud that the The Friends of Crosby Mansion and the Town of Brewster have taken on the stewardship of this beautiful property. Here they can imagine life in the past, they can admire the wonderful craftsmanship of the home and they can be proud that this unique space is being preserved for future generations. It is a special place to share with visitors and a lovely setting for weddings, reunions and special occasions. The grounds are open to walkers year-round, thus preserving the land for recreational use. Practicality and feasibility, with the ability to implement within budget. In 2009, the town granted the Friends of Crosby Mansion $125,000.00 in CPA funds to replace one of the ornate porch columns and to reconstruct the porch’s curved arches, which are unique to the character of the Mansion. Work was completed under budget and within the designated timeline. 4. Community Beneﬁts of Project: The funding of this project will help preserve an historic Brewster home as a valuable cultural resource and as a location for community events. The Crosby Mansion is listed on the Cape Cod Museum Trail website and has been featured in the Boston Globe as a “Cape Cod attraction, not to be missed.” The Mansion has been recently listed in the Calendar of Events for “The Best of Brewster 2021-22” publication, just published by the Brewster Chamber of Commerce. In the past the Mansion has hosted fundraisers for such community organizations as the Bayside Skippers, Lower Cape Outreach and the Nauset Garden Club. Local families have hosted weddings, reunions and showers at the facility. Previous seasons have drawn approximately 5,000 visitors a year to Crosby Mansion. The Friends continue to use local craftspeople and merchants for construction work and materials, further bolstering our economy. It is hoped that with renewed interest in the Mansion locally, it can be a destination for ﬁeld trips by local school groups and can host musical performances, art exhibits and other community gatherings. 7 5. Community Support: The initial efforts to restore the mansion began in 1992 with the formation of the non-proﬁt group, Friends of Crosby Mansion. Today, the Friends’ dedicated volunteers continue the work of restoration and preservation. In 2009 the town of Brewster showed its support of the Mansion by approving an application submitted by the Friends for a capital expenditure to repair a column and porch arches. Further evidence of continuing local support for the Mansion’s preservation is indicated by letters from the following: Seascape East, Brewster Historical Society, the Brewster Selectboard, Cape Cod Repertory Theatre Company, and the Brewster Historical Commission. 6. Timeline: Since the Mansion operates on a seasonal schedule, our goal is to have work begin in late winter, 2022, when the Mansion is closed to visitors. The project’s timeline is for restoration work to be completed by spring of 2023 for a June 1st opening. 7. Credentials: Brian Locke is in his ninth year as Property Manager of the Crosby Mansion and grounds. He is the Project Manager for work done on the property and worked for a number of years in the hospitality ﬁeld. Joseph Rego is the Chair of the Crosby Property Committee and is a Master Electrician and a Massachusetts Licensed Builder. Plans for the Crosby Mansion Restoration and Preservation Project will be submitted to DCR Historic Curatorship Program Manager Kevin Allen, per the lease agreement of 2003. All work on the project must be reviewed by DCR 8 Preservation Planner Jeffrey Harris and by the MHC to conﬁrm that the Secretary of Interior and Commonwealth of Massachusetts policies and practices for protection of historic properties are met. Once the project approval is granted and a licensed and insured contractor is hired, Massachusetts Building Inspector Marc LaPointe will review the work to ensure that the project is in compliance with the standards for historic preservation. 8. Budget/Need for Public Funds: Funding for the Crosby Mansion and grounds has come from a variety of sources since the Town and Friends leased the property from the state in 2003. Chief among these has been the income earned by the seasonal rental of two beach cottages. 2020 rentals were moderately impacted by Covid-19 but all other sources of income were lost due to the closure of the Mansion because of the pandemic. Traditionally the Mansion has earned needed revenue by renting out the property for weddings, family and company functions, tours and open houses as well as events by outside parties that shared proceeds, such as the Nauset Garden Club and other local organizations. This application for CPA funds is based on the restoration work needed, as previously listed, with estimated costs.
