Have you received notice from a local or state agency that
you must provide information on the historic significance of
your building before they will issue a building permit, zoning
approval, release of state or federal funding?
Or are you just curious about the history or architecture
of your historic building, maybe so you can make better
decisions about how to restore its historic character?
Owners of historic properties come to us to help them find
out more about their historic buildings. We begin by
conducting historical and architectural research to determine
architect, original owners, and recorded building permits. We thoroughly document properties with
photography and written descriptions of style and significant features. And we write reports that
evaluate the landmark potential of a building.
