Historic Surveys
In determining what was eligible for Landmark status, the City of Lafayette had to do some rigorous architectural surveys. The surveys are available below as links to large Adobe Acrobat™ documents. But these surveys are much more than just reviews of building trends through time, they're incredibly rich with material on Lafayette's past, what remains of it today, and what can be saved for the future. Take the time to download these gems for a fascinating and in-depth look at how Lafayette came to be.
