MISSION STATEMENT
The Landmarks Preservation Commission was established in 1965 to protect the City's
architectural and historic resources. The Commission identifies, designates, and regulates
alterations to landmarks, buildings in historic districts, scenic landmarks, and designated
landmark interiors considered significant for their architectural, historic, cultural, or
aesthetic qualities. The Commission surveys potential landmarks and historic districts,
evaluates and reviews proposals for landmark designation, and regulates and monitors
alterations to designated buildings and scenic landmarks. In addition, the Commission
seeks alternate uses or purchasers for threatened landmarks, salvages and recycles
architectural elements, and provides technical assistance and distributes funds through its
Facade Improvement Program to help eligible property owners preserve their designated
buildings.
