A principal purpose of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission is to recommend the designation of individually significant sites as historic landmarks by whatever local governing board has zoning jurisdiction over the subject property. A Survey and Research Report is prepared for each prospective landmark. This report documents the significance, both architectural and historical, of the property. Over 230 reports have been prepared.
As part of its educational mission, the Historic Preservation Foundation is hosting these reports on our site. We hope eventually to have them all on our website. For now, they are all available in the Robinson-Spangler Carolina Room of the Uptown Library and in the Special Collections Department of the Atkins Library at UNCC.
Reminders:
1. These Survey & Research Reports have been written over a
period of several years. Be sure to check the date the report was
written. Check with local government agencies to be sure
information in these reports is up to date.
2. Most properties profiled herein are private property. If you wish to photograph or visit a property, first contact the Landmarks Commission, who will then contact the owner to obtain permission.
