HISTORIC PRESERVATION
This program of the Division seeks to cultivate a built environment that reflects Evanston's unique character and history. Members of the Preservation Commission work to sustain the architectural vitality of City neighborhoods by aiding in the restoration, rehabilitation, and conservation of historic buildings and preservation districts. The preservation planner helps owners in the preservation and renovation of their homes, as well as assisting residents in obtaining a certificate of appropriateness. Both strive to preserve Evanston's diversity through its architecture.
Historic Preservation Certificate of Appropriateness
Approval by the Historic Preservation Commission is necessary for the alteration, construction, relocation, and demolition of landmark buildings and properties in historic districts. For more information on this process and how approval is obtained, please contact the Preservation Coordinator the Planning Department at 847-866-2928, Ext. 2265 or cruiz@cityofevanston.org.
