ERIE BUILDINGS

Preservation Erie (PE) provided oversight for the historic resource survey of 2014. PE was founded ten years ago to promote, preserve, and enhance the distinctive character of greater Erie through community-based planning, design, and historic preservation... Wise completed the second phase in early 2014, which involved the survey of historic buildings in the Cities of Erie and Corry that were built prior to 1940. The Erie County Planning Department provided a digital map that included the estimated construction date of the buildings on each property. Using this information and the photographs on the website of the Erie County Assessment Office, Wise reviewed over 18,000 historic properties and classified them according to their architectural significance.
