This study has been prepared to assist the Majumder Manor design team and the community of Burlington, as they consider opportunities in their future planning.
As heritage architects and planners, ERA Architects has been asked to provide a history on the Majumder Manor site and a cultural resource inventory of Burlington. In many ways we are outsiders to the community. We hope our perspective is helpful to the team and the town of Burlington.
Burlington could be broadly characterized as a culture of hard work, resourcefulness, and creativity. A relationship with the sea and the land has led to the creation of unique traditional
practices and rituals, a distinct identity, and a deep connection to place.
