Local Landmarks
Commercial and residential structures with architectural and historical significance are eligible for Local Landmark status with the Village. Local Landmark Status is separate from being located within a Historic District. For Historic District information, please click here.

A property may qualify based on:

• Architectural style or design
• A significant builder or architect
• Identification with a person or persons who made significant contributions at the local, regional, or national level
• Association with important cultural or social aspects or events
