Historic Resource Survey of Old and Historic Alexandria District

The City of Alexandria’s Historic Preservation Office, with the help from local volunteers, is identifying and documenting historic resources in the City’s current National Register, National Historic Landmark and the Old and Historic Alexandria Districts. This comprehensive reconnaissance survey will identify buildings, structures and sites that are architecturally and historically significant to the history and development of our community.

The volunteers will be conducting the field survey from February through July 2013.

They are documenting existing:

• Buildings, Structures, and Sites

This information will be used to:

• Help state and federal planners make more informed decisions, including Tax Credit Applications
• Identify buildings and places that are significant in the City of Alexandria’s history
  

They will:

• Photograph exteriors of buildings, structures and sites from public right-of-ways

• Collect architectural and historical data about these resources and their associated neighborhoods
  

The people surveying the City are:

• Volunteers with backgrounds in preservation, architecture, architectural history, history, or long time residents of Alexandria 

• City of Alexandria Preservation Planning Staff
  

We want to know what you know about your home and historically significant places in your neighborhood. Please contact us!
