APPLICATION FORM
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
 

 
Preservation Durham established the Plaque Program in 2001 to encourage the preservation of Durham's historic resources and educate the public about the community's heritage. Residential plaques, 10" x 14," list the historic name of the home and its date of contruction and as of June, 2007 cost $450. Commercial and institutional plaques, which include more information about the history of the site in a slightly larger format, cost $450. All plaques are cast in solid bronze and feature the Preservation Durham logo design.
The history of a structure must be thoroughly documented before it will be considered for a plaque or marker. A Checklist of Sources for Research is provided in the application packet and the Architectural Review Committee will provide assistance to building owners who are researching their properties.

HPSD plans to produce a brochure that lists the numbered plaques, including the history of each identified structure and a guide map.

Preservation Durham has created a sister program of Historic Markers to identify the sites of demolished buildings that also played important parts in Durham's history. The first Marker was unveiled on August 18, 2001 at the site of Lincoln Hospital on Fayetteville Street. Founded in 1901, Lincoln Hospital provided health care to Durham's African-American community and trained 900 nurses before it was closed in 1976.
