Inventory Update and Historic Plaque Designation |
|
|
|
| During
the 1980s, an inventory of the homes on Main and Canal Streets in Dover |
|
| Borough
was completed by Historic York, Inc.
The inventory included the circa of |
|
| construction,
the architectural style and other pertinent information about the property. |
|
| That
data is approximately 25 years old and the information will be updated during
2005. |
|
| As
an example of the changes during recent years, did you know the summerhouse |
|
| originally
built at 37 S. Main Street was dismantled and rebuilt at 51 S. Main Street. |
|
|
|
| If
any resident has a home with a unique interior feature which may be of
historic importance and wants to |
|
| share
this information; please call Gayle Heagy at 292-1976. Otherwise, the update will be restricted
to |
|
| the
exterior of the property. Several
members of the Dover Historical Society will be working on this |
|
| project
and will have identification to show a resident when viewing their home. |
|
|
|
| Following
completion of the Housing Inventory update, we will develop criteria for use
in |
|
| identifying
those properties with specific historic significance. For example, the age of the |
|
| structure;
the architectural type and its importance to the settlers of Jonerstown.
These properties |
|
| will
be recognized with a historic plaque to be placed on the building, similar to
the plaque on the Lecrone |
|
| House
on the square in Dover Borough. That
plaque identifies the structure as listed on the National |
|
| Register of Historic Places. The plaque will be provided and installed
at no cost to the property owner, |
|
| and
only after their permission is given to the historic society. |
