Heirloom Homes and Landmark Sites

The Heirloom Homes and Landmark Sites Program is a joint effort of the City of Stillwater and the Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) to honor property owners who maintain the historical character of their building or site. The goals of the program are to:

• Acknowledge property owners who have voluntarily preserved or restored their historic home, building, or site.
• Showcase historic homes on Stillwater’s Heirloom Homes and Landmark Sites Program website.
• Educate the general public about historic properties in Stillwater.
• Help property owners learn how to preserve their historic homes by providing technical assistance that shows homeowners how to maintain the historical character of their homes while also updating them to meet the demands of the twenty-first century.
• Preserve Stillwater’s historic neighborhoods to ensure that the community maintains its identity and appeal as a historic river city and tourist destination.

So far only a few homes are featured on the website. Each one displays a photo, the year built, architect and builder (if known), map and history of the property. If you own a historic home and want to be featured, you can apply to be part of the Heirloom Homes Program. Your house must be located in the older part of Stillwater, have good historical integrity and represent one of the various architectural styles of the nineteenth century or the first half of the twentieth century. There is no cost, participation in the program is voluntary and you can withdraw at any time.
