SWAMPSCOTT — The Town is looking to potentially implement a nine-month demolition delay on the Glover development project, in hopes of saving the historic house.

Acting Town Administrator Gino Cresta made the announcement during the Town Administrator’s report at the Select Board meeting Tuesday evening.

“The developer (National Development) has reached out to the town and the Historical Commission with an update regarding plans to preserve the General Glover Farmhouse in its current location,” Cresta said. 

He added that further details are currently being worked out.

“The developer is actively collaborating with their engineering, legal and design teams on the overall site design and the future use of the General Glover home,” he said. “The developer has expressed the expectation that the Historical Commission will provide funding for the restoration of the property, both interior and exterior.”

Cresta said the developer will follow up with the town once the site plan details have been further refined.

During a follow-up interview with The Daily Item, he explained that if National Development continued with its original proposal, the plan could ultimately include up to 140 units of housing located on the site.

The Farmhouse is still owned by the Athanas family, Cresta said.

Historical Commission Chair Nancy Schultz shared her excitement about the latest development in an interview with The Daily Item.

“The Commission is very pleased that this progress is being made, and really excited to work with any developer who will help us preserve the building,” Schultz said. “The fact that National Development is interested in working with us is very welcome news.”

National Development could not be reached for comment.
