Did
you know that CPHS offers 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. They cost $175 for members and $225 for non-members. 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 check on the eligibility of your property, please send us an email and we will send you an application.
