Historic Survey

Preservation Company has prepared hundreds of NH survey forms for properties and resources throughout the state for determination of National Register eligibility.  These range from individual inventory forms for buildings, farms, and bridges to historic district area forms for villages, town and city centers, twentieth century subdivisions and agricultural areas.  We have surveyed transportation corridors, such as railroads and highways, and historic cemeteries.

  • Preservation Company completed an individual inventory form for the early twentieth-century collection of farm buildings on the shore of Great Bay in Greenland. The property was determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places for significance in agriculture. Preservation Company also assisted the owner, NH Fish & Game, with identifying the character-defining features of the farm previous to rehabilitation and renovation.

  • Before the demolition of the Spaulding Turnpike Toll Plazas by the NHDOT, Preservation Company completed survey of both 1956 toll plazas (in Dover and in Rochester) to determine their eligibility for the National Register. The plazas, designed by husband and wife team E.H. and M.K. Hunter of Hanover, NH, were determined significant as the last historic toll stations of the “Turnpike Era.”

  • Preservation Company, subcontracted to Quantum Construction Consultants, completed a cultural landscape survey of the Great Brook Industrial District in Antrim, which included a number of industrial archaeological sites along the length of Great Brook in Antrim, NH. This included a brief history of the many industries and companies based along the river and a table identifying both sites and existing features within the district.

  • Preservation Company worked with the Town of Amherst to update the Amherst Village Historic District to facilitate local regulatory review as part of a CLG grant. The project included a survey and evaluation of the additional 147 properties in the local district and an update of the documentation of the 167 resources from the 1982 National Register district nomination. Preservation Company photographed each of the 314 resources and compiled a database that was incorporated in the Town’s GIS mapping. The report included a summary of the survey and a current statement of significance and period of significance for the locally designated Historic District. In addition, Preservation Company prepared a Guide to Architectural Forms and Styles, which defined the various building forms and styles common in the historic district, listed character-defining features and provided illustrative and representative examples as a standalone document.
