Historic Preservation
A large part of Towanda’s vibrancy comes from its history. The historic architecture of Towanda has been recognized nationally for its significance; the Towanda Historic District has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1992.
Historic Property Profiles
Towanda Civic Works is invested in helping property owners preserve the integrity of their historic homes. We believe this work begins with knowledge. Curious about the history of your property? Send us a message! Our team can help create a Historic Property Profile.
Case Study: Historic Property Profile for 108 Chestnut Street
Wondering what a Historic Property Profile might look like for your property? Here’s what our research has uncovered for one Towanda home:
A full list of previous owners
The original survey map of the property
Details on the architect who designed the house
Newspaper clippings narrowing down the construction timeline
Photographs of the house from the late 1890s, 1905, and 1950
….and more!
Every house is different. Not all properties may have as much detail to uncover. But TCW is ready to help you find what’s out there!
Endless Mountains Heritage Region
Legislation is being introduced in the U.S. Congress for the Endless Mountains Heritage Region’s designation as a National Heritage Area. In addition to scores of other benefits, this national designation would help EMHR to preserve the historic character of our region.
