Landmark designation is an excellent way to recognize
the special architecture and history of a building and it can make
historic properties eligible for tax benefits. The prestige associated
with being listed on the National Register of Historic Places or being
noted as an exceptional local landmark can increase the value of historic
properties. Many homeowners, real estate developers, municipalities,
or not-for-profit
organizations come to us to get their historic properties designated
as landmarks.
