Do you have a historic structure on your property, such as a cabin, outbuilding, barn, etc.? What plans do you have to maintain or renovate it? A historic structure report could be beneficial for planning.

“A historic structure report provides documentary, graphic, and physical information about a property’s history and existing condition. Broadly recognized as an effective part of preservation planning, a historic structure report also addresses management or owner goals for the use or re-use of the property. It provides a thoughtfully considered argument for selecting the most appropriate approach to treatment, prior to the commencement of work, and outlines a scope of recommended work.”
