Frequently Asked Questions about Historic Landmark Status

  The Lafayette Register of Historic Places was established by City ordinance in 1998. The purpose of the Register is to protect local structures, sites, or neighborhoods that represent distinctive examples of architecture, are associated with famous historic events or persons, or make a special contribution to the distinctive character of Lafayette.

   Properties are listed in the Register following review and approval by the Lafayette Historic Preservation Board. The approved recommendation is forwarded to the Lafayette City Council, who may, by ordinance, designate property as a landmark or a landmark district.
