DIVISION OF
HISTORIC PRESERVATION
The Division of Historic Preservation regulates the large number of residential
structures within local historic districts. This office is charged with activities
related to conserving historic structures, districts and resources in
Lexington-Fayette County. The staff serves both the Historic Preservation
Commission (a fifteen member volunteer government board which debates preservation
issues of importance to the county) and the Board of Architectural Review
(a five member historic district design review board).
The Urban County Government is a "Certified Local Government" under regulations of
the National Park Service making Lexington-Fayette County eligible for state administered
federal grants which play a critical role in the enhancement and continuation of
preservation in the area.
Historic Preservation staff survey historic resources within urban and rural areas of
the county, provide technical assistance to owners of historic properties and administer
the day to day activities of the Division, the Historic Preservation Commission and the
Board of Architectural Review.
