Niagara Falls Heritage Properties

This spatial dataset contains polygons representing the properties in the City of Niagara falls that are listed or designated heritage properties.The City designates properties that hold cultural value or interest to the community. The specific design/physical or historical/contextual reasons that give a property its heritage value are identified through the designation process. Once a property is designated, it gains public recognition and a measure of protection from demolition or unsympathetic alterations. Designation guides any future changes to the property so that the heritage value can be maintained. Often, designated properties are identified with an official designation plaque so that they may be easily identified in the community.The City will list properties with cultural value or interest to the community in the City’s Municipal Heritage Register. These properties are not designated. Listed properties may include properties that are potential candidates for designation. While some listed properties may later become designated, not all will be.
