The Historic Preservation Review Board (HPRB) holds open public meetings to designate historic property and evaluate the compatibility of proposed construction affecting historic landmarks and districts. Anyone is welcome to submit written comments or participate in the meetings without signing up in advance.

Step Two
Consult designation applications posted on the HPO website, or contact HPO staff for information about a specific project filed for review. Applications and their associated materials are a matter of public record. Case files are available on the HPO HPRB and CFA project drawings page, for assistance locating a case feel please send an email to [email protected] with the property address and case number.
