The principal objective of this paper is to detect any partial effects due to architecture on
home value. The empirical results show that premium prices are associated with the
historical architectural styles like colonial, federal, garrison, and Victorian. A second
objective to detect potential impacts of historic zoning, however, does not show conclusively
that the historic district of Newburyport has positive external effects.
