We faced this situation in Evansville in 2001. We could acquire an
189
6 historic building to serve as our museum, but had to move it to a
ne
w site to prevent its demolition. Designation as a landmark wasn't
an
urgent consideration at the time.
The structure was moved to City pa
rk land on a "gentleperson's
agreement" and a ground lease was negotia
ted between the historical
society and the City thereafter. A 99 year
lease, with $1/year rental
was agreed upon, with the $99 paid up fron
t. I don't have and can't
recall all of the provisions in the ground l
ease, but it covered
location of the society-owned museum on City prop
erty, the duration of
the ground lease, the understanding that the bui
lding would be used as
a local history museum, non-profit office and m
eeting space, and
visitor center; approval by the City Council of any
change in use;
upkeep and maintenance responsibilities including lawn
cutting, garden
maintenance, and snow removal; and some other miscell
aneous provisions
wanted by the City Attorney.
It would help to have
a local attorney advise you and perhaps to draft
a ground lease and a
Memorandum of Lease to file with the County
Register of Deeds to make
everybody's understandings clear.

Roy, you are correct that
this may happen. For a building (or
structure or object) to remain li
sted after a move, you must have the
request to relocate approved prio
r to the move. Per the National Park
Service: “Approvals for m
oves are evaluated on the basis of the
impact of the move on the prope
rty’s significance and integrity and
the appropriateness of th
e new location.”

SUBJECT: Agreement with
Town Board
The Albin Johnson Log House (on National and State
Register) will be
moved from private property to Town of Spirit in Pr
ice County
property.
An arrangement between the owner of the
log house (Spirit Historical
Society, Inc.) and the Town of Spirit ne
eds to be written.
What should be included in an agreement? Is
there a better word than
agreement?
The SHS Board will hold
all maintenance and financial
responsibilities for the house museum.
Do we need a lease agreement?
What is your experience
? Are sample agreements available?
