Letters of Support

From time to time, a crisis arises in the saving or preserving of historic buildings or structures threatened with demolition or other adverse action. For buildings constructed during the period 1837-1917, the Preservation Committee of the Victorian Society will be pleased to write a letter of support to an individual or organization about a specific local preservation threat or problem. The property should be listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, or a state or local register, either individually or as a contributing structure within an historic district.

The letter of support must be requested by an individual national member or a Chapter of the Society. If the building is within the jurisdiction of a chapter, the request, if submitted by an individual, must receive the endorsement of that chapter.

Print and complete the form and mail, email, or fax it, together with a required draft of the proposed letter, to the VSA’s Philadelphia office for investigation and review by the Society’s Preservation Committee. Attachments are welcome if the space provided is inadequate.
