Preservation and Design

A historic district in Fort Worth is typically a defined area or neighborhood with a common theme based on architectural style, historical development patterns, cultural identity, or social and economic historical patterns.

The basic idea behind the creation of a historic district is to preserve the character and identity of an area for the future.

Preservation in Action

• Local Historic Districts - guidelines and maps
• Preservation Projects
• Citywide Preservation Plan

The Historic and Cultural Landmarks Commission (HCLC) reviews projects that affect properties with historic designation, or fall within the boundaries of a historic district.
