About the Historical Restoration and Preservation Commission

The following is a brief description of the duties and powers of the Commission as excerpted from the enabling legislation:

  • The purpose and function shall be to acquire facilities in the restorable area and provide restored facilities in accordance with the restoration period.
  • To acquire in its own name by purchase, grant, devise, gift or lease, on such terms and conditions and in such manner as it may deem necessary or expedient, facilities, including real property or rights or easements therein or franchises necessary or convenient for its purposes and to use the restored facilities so long as its existence shall continue and to lease or make contacts with respect to the use or disposal of same, or any part thereof, in any manner deemed by the Commission to be in its best interest but only for the purposes for which it is created.
  • The primary activity of the Commission is an active program to acquire easements, (open space as well as easements to protect the fabric of historic structures). For more information on the easement program, or to determine if your property might be eligible, call the Office of Historic Alexandria, 703.746.4554.

The easements listed here are granted to the Alexandria Historical Restoration and Preservation Commission and are administered by it through the city’s Office of Historic Alexandria.
