Landmark Designation

Landmark designation is a legal recognition given to buildings, sites, or areas that have historical, cultural, or architectural significance. This status helps protect these places from demolition or alteration, ensuring that their unique characteristics are preserved for future generations. Landmarks can hold importance due to events that took place there, significant figures associated with them, or their unique design. Designation often comes with specific regulations regarding maintenance and modifications, aiming to maintain the integrity and historical value of the site while allowing for public enjoyment and education.
