Grant Awared to Survey Historic Buildings in Guilford

The Guilford Preservation Alliance received a $30,000 grant from the State Department of Economic and Community Development, State Historic Preservation Office to add an additional 200 historic buildings to the 450 buildings in the Historic Resources Inventory for the Town of Guilford.

The GPA announced on their website, “This grant will provide funds for architectural historians to identify and inventory historic buildings, produce a survey, including photographs, and give a public presentation on the project. The inventory will be helpful in recognizing, protecting and preserving these valuable resources.”

Kristen Nietering, a Guilford native, and Jordan Sorenson, of New London are the architectural historians who have been hired for the survey.

The project is expected to be completed near the end of May, 2015.
