Certified Historic Structures
Certified Historic Structures are buildings officially recognized because of their historical, architectural, or cultural significance. This designation, often granted by government agencies like the IRS in the U.S., allows owners to access specific benefits, such as grants or tax incentives, to help preserve and restore these properties. The certification ensures that the structure's historic features are maintained during rehabilitation, promoting the conservation of our shared heritage. Essentially, it’s a formal recognition that helps protect important buildings while encouraging their thoughtful preservation for future generations.
