Historic Landmark designation

A Historic Landmark designation recognizes a site, building, or structure as having significant historical, cultural, or architectural importance. This designation helps preserve and protect the landmark by raising awareness, preventing inappropriate alterations, and often providing legal or financial incentives for its conservation. It highlights the landmark’s contribution to a community’s history and identity, ensuring that future generations can appreciate its significance. While it can restrict certain changes, the main goal is to maintain the authenticity and integrity of important sites for educational and cultural value.
