What is a Raleigh Historic Landmark?
A Raleigh Historic Landmark is the local historic designation of an individual building, structure, site, area, or object that is recognized by an official local ordinance for its historic significance. The Raleigh Historic Development Commission (RHDC) must find the property to be of historical, prehistorical, architectural, archaeological, and/or cultural significance, and to possess integrity of design, setting, workmanship, materials, feeling and/or association.
Local landmark designation is different from being in a local historic overlay district or being listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). A property can be designated in multiple ways, but the designation processes are unrelated. The incentives and regulations associated with each type of designation also vary.
There are many steps to the historic landmark application process. Check out this brochure to learn more.
Historic Landmark Applications
Applications for Raleigh Historic Landmark designation are reviewed, and recommendations are made by the RHDC. However, the final decision is made by City Council.
Applications are also reviewed by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). Applications include a report on the history of the property as well as photographs.
Pending landmark applications are listed below.
