The City names the Heritage Hill Historic District and provides local preservation information.
For your sale: For a locally historic property, the City requires a Certificate of Appropriateness before a change of appearance or an exterior alteration visible from a street or public way. If exterior work is part of your plan, confirm the requirement with the City; you can discuss an as-is sale with us before taking on repairs.
