| The
City of Woodbury established this historic district in 1977
to better preserve the unique character of our community. In
addition to preserving our rich cultural and architectural heritage
for future generations, the maintenance and rehabilitation of
buildings in historic districts have positive effects on the
community including the stabilization of neighborhoods, retention
of or increased property values, and the creation of civic pride.
In order to attain these goals and preserve the historic
character of Woodbury, all proposed exterior changes and alterations
to a property located within the historic district must first
be reviewed by the City’s Historic Preservation Commission
and approved by the City Planning Board. This includes all
alterations visible from a public street, sidewalk, or alley.
Owners proposing work to the exterior of their property within
the Historic District must complete
and submit an Application for a Certificate of Appropriateness
to the City’s Construction and Zoning Office. The City
encourages people planning work within the historic district
to contact the Historic Preservation Commission early in the
planning process to discuss and assist with their project. |
