Michigan's Historic Buildings and Districts

Historic properties surveys identify and evaluate resources in communities, neighborhoods or rural areas to determine their historical, architectural, archaeological, engineering or cultural significance. This information provides a foundation for preservation and future development decision-making. The survey data becomes part of the State Historic Preservation Office's (SHPO) comprehensive statewide survey, which to date includes information on over three hundred thousand buildings and structures throughout the state.
