Download Data:
This data layer shows all properties that are designated on local, state or national historic registries as well as properties with Preservation Restrictions held by the city. It also shows properties that were evaluated as part of the Mid 20th Century Housing Survey. While those properties have no formal historic designation they were added at the request of the Preservation Planner. Other properties that are in local historic districts but have no other designation have been added to support the Inspectional Service Department’s front counter application. This ensures that these properties will be flagged for being in an historic district.
The data is in the form of a related table and is mapped as a layer through a join to the property parcels via the property ID (SBL.)
