Locally Designated Historic Landmarks

When a property is granted local landmark status, it is protected from drastic changes that would affect the exterior historic or architectural character and it will ensure that same protection for future generations. Any improvement to a Local Landmark that is visible from a public way requires a Certificate of Appropriateness (C of A), available through the Galesburg Landmark Commission (GLC). Through guidelines outlined in Galesburg’s Historic Preservation ordinance and partnering with the GLC, property owners are provided resources that afford them options when considering changes, as well as parameters designed to help maintain the historic significance of the property.当某一不动产被授予本地地标资格时，其将免受会破坏外观历史风貌与建筑特色的大幅改动，并可为后代延续同等保护。凡从公共通路可观测到的本地地标（Local Landmark）的任何改建工程，均需申领适配证书（Certificate of Appropriateness，简称C of A），申请可通过盖尔斯堡地标委员会（Galesburg Landmark Commission，GLC）办理。依托盖尔斯堡《历史保护条例》（Historic Preservation Ordinance）中列明的相关指南，并与GLC开展合作，不动产所有者可获得相关资源：既能在考虑改造方案时拥有多元选择空间，也能获得旨在助力维护该不动产历史价值的规范准则。
