The Historic District Commission was established by Ordinance #67 in accordance with Chapter 673 of New Hampshire State Law. The Commission is responsible for defining Lebanon’s Historic District, the Colburn Park District, and for administering regulations within the historic district. The Commission is also responsible for the dissemination of information regarding the City’s historical resources and for conducting the landmark program.
The Historic Landmark Designation Program was created to identify and aid in the protection of sites of significant architectural and historical value in the City. The Landmark Program aims to conserve property values and strengthen the local economy as well as encourage property owners to invest in the rehabilitation of their buildings. For a building to receive the Historic Landmark Designation it must possess historical architectural or cultural significance. For example, qualifying sites may be associated with historical events or with the lives of significant persons in our past or the site may embody the distinctive characteristics of a particular style.
