South Fulton Historic Resources Survey

The Historic and Cultural Landmarks Commission (HCLC) of the City of South Fulton invites community members to share their input on historic and cultural landmarks that exist throughout the city. The results from this survey may be used to inform future preservation efforts and initiatives. Please see the following definitions to help answer survey questions: 

Our ordinance defines “historic property” as: “a structure, site, or work of art (including the adjacent area necessary), or the proper use or appreciation or use thereof deemed worthy of preservation by reason of its value to the municipality, county, state, or region, for one or more of the following reasons:

• It is an outstanding example of a structure representative of its area;
• It is one of the few remaining examples of a past architectural style;
• It is a place or structure associated with an event or person of historic or cultural significance to the municipality, county, state, or region;
• It is a site of natural or aesthetic interest that is continuing to contribute to the cultural or historic development and heritage of the municipality, county, state, or region.”

Our ordinance defines “historic district” as: “a geographically definable area, urban or rural, which contains structures, sites, works of art, or a combination thereof which:

• Has special character or special historical or aesthetic interest or value;
• Represents one or more periods or styles of architecture typical of one or more eras in the history of the municipality, county, state, or region;
• All such area, by reason of such factors, to constitute a visibly perceptible section of the municipality or county.”

In keeping with the guidelines of the National Register of Historic Places, we request that submissions to the survey be older than 50 years.
