Historic Design Guidelines, City of Binghamton, New York: Final Report
Bergmann Associates and Heritage Strategies. 2011. Historic Design Guidelines, City of Binghamton, New York: Final Report. City of Binghamton; New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. Binghamton, New York
From introduction: "The City of Binghamton landscape is rich with treasured and significant architectural resources that reflect the City’s evolution from a mill village to a thriving industrial center. The City has recognized the need to develop a comprehensive and thorough set of design guidelines to maintain and protect the value and integrity of historic properties and districts which help to tell the story of the City. The purpose of the Guidelines is to ensure the protection and preservation of historic buildings and sites through the use of appropriate treatment approaches. One of the greatest threats to the historic character and identity of Binghamton is the slow and incremental loss of historic fabric, whether an entire block, an individual building, or a character-defining feature of one structure. The Guidelines are intended to supplement the Historic Preservation Ordinance and establish a basis for determining the appropriateness of changes or modifications proposed for historically significant buildings." Project funding was provided in part by a 2011 Historic Preservation Fund grant to the City of Binghamton (project number NY-11-53) administered by the New York State Historic Preservation Office (grant number 36-11-31939) and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. Binghamton, New York is a Certified Local Government.
