Building Code Information for Massachusetts: Historical Codes

Historical Codes

Historic Preservation students, or those students who may be working on a renovation, might need to know about what building codes were used when their structure was built. Prior to the Massachusetts State Building Code being established in 1974, cities of Massachusetts published their own codes. Below, you can find online versions of past Massachusetts State Building Codes via the Internet Archive.

We have included the date of publication to assist you in locating the appropriate code for your research.
