Know your histor(ic preservation districts)
Tuesday, November 29, 2016 by Elizabeth Pagano
Recently, a city survey identified 19 potential local historic districts. This may have left more than a few readers wondering, “What is a local historic district?” And, just like that, Preservation Austin has appeared to answer that very question. On Dec. 10, Preservation Austin will be hosting “Local Historic Districts 101” for those looking to learn more about the preservation technique and how to navigate the city process associated with designating a district. The morning class is free, but RSVPs are required.
