CPA Projects – Detailed Report

The Middlesex Canal Museum – operating out of the Faulkner Mill in North Billerica – is in the process of permitting and preparing for the preservation and rehabilitation of 2 Old Elm Street as a new museum. This former brick woolen warehouse needs significant renovation, the majority of which are being funded by the Museum. The Canal Association is seeking funds for masonry improvements (corbeling to accept new roof tresses, two new entrances, and repointing of bricks).This work allows a Billerica the chance to “Protect, preserve, enhance, restore and/or rehabilitate historic, cultural, architectural or archaeological resources of significance, especially those that are threatened,” a criteria from Billerica’s CPC Plan.
