Historic House Markers

Did you know that CPHS offers bronze historic house markers for houses in the Cleveland Park Historic District? You can apply to purchase a marker if your house was listed in the original National Register nomination form for the historic district, or if it was built in 1941 or earlier or is an individually-designated landmark, and if it is in substantially its original condition. Markers are forged to order for CPHS by the Erie Landmark Company of Columbia, PA.

Markers cost $225 for members and $275 for non-members. Shipping is included in the price.  Please note: due to the rising costs of materials, prices may be subject to further increases this year, so please consider placing your order sooner than later.

Before issuing an historic marker for your home, we will need to verify the age of your house – not least because that date is going to be cast in bronze! If you would like to begin an order, please email us to confirm eligibility and/or download this form.
