preservation district
Protected historic area
A preservation district is a legally designated area where buildings, landscapes, or other features are protected from demolition or incompatible alteration.
The designation typically restricts what property owners can do to exteriors, requiring approval for changes that might compromise historical or architectural character.
The house sits in a preservation district, so we needed a permit just to replace the windows.
Also called a historic district.
