 MARSHALL HISTORIC LANDMARKS

The purpose of the City's historic preservation program is to protect and enhance historic properties to produce economic benefits for the community.  A major tool for the protection of these properties is historic designation.  Designation is offered for individual properties (historic landmarks) and for larger areas (historic districts) through the City's Historic Landmark Preservation Ordinance.  The most protection for local historic resources is offered by the Marshall Historic Landmark status because this designation includes a local review process to lessen the potentially harmful effects of incompatible exterior alteration, relocation or demolition of these designated properties.
