Once properties are documented, it will be easier for owners to determine whether they are eligible for various kinds of federal, state or local assistance if they decide to restore, preserve or rehabilitate buildings. Our data base will also provide information for historical research. For instance, we are documenting some buildings that are in such bad condition that they will fall down and all that will be left is the HPS documentation. Good examples are many of the barns in the County. Our biggest needs are for researchers who enjoy delving into house history and for surveyors who would like to work kin the field recording what they see.
