Tomorrow: public info meeting for Highland Park neighbors |

Several areas surrounding Highland Park are eligible to become National Register Historic Districts, which would make homeowners eligible for the NYS Historic Homeowners Tax Credit program! The Landmark Society is working with Highland Park Neighborhood Association and representatives from the Azalea and Lilac neighborhoods, as well as SEAC, to spread the word about this program and gather community support. Join us for a virtual public informational meeting tomorrow (Thursday, 7/16 @ 5:30 PM) to learn more about the National Register listing process, what it means for you, and how you can save money on repairs to your home. Pre-registration required. Follow the link below to register and get more details. |

This year’s Tour will take place for one week, starting October 9th – and you won’t have to worry about parking, the weather, or shoe covers: You will be able to participate in the Tour from your favorite computer, laptop, or phone! To celebrate 50 years of this annual fundraising event, we’ll be picking some of the most interesting houses in our region. Since it’s a virtual tour, we don’t need to stick to one neighborhood but can bring you a wide range of tour experiences. Stay tuned to our social media as well as the magazine mailing in September for details on how you can purchase ticket access to this once in a lifetime tour experience. |

New cobblestone resource |
||
|
|
|
 |
||
The Cobblestone Info Base is a living, virtual library and repository of information about all known existing and no longer existing cobblestone structures in North America. The purpose of this cobblestone information base is to gather and make available all known information about the cobblestone structures of the style popular in New York State during the period of roughly 1825-1865. These structures include houses, barns, outbuildings, schools, commercial buildings, and houses of worship as well as walls and foundations. Co-sponsored by the Cobblestone Society and The Landmark Society of Western New York, the database was created by technical consultant Greg Lawrence and allows for adding new information, as it is discovered, by researchers and residents. |
