Checking Your Local Historic Resources Survey

Ridge Historical Society of Chicago House Image

The very first place to look for information on your house is in the Local Historic Resources Survey. Most municipalities will have a copy of this book is in every branch of the county or municipal Public Library and can many can also be viewed at township offices, online or or at your local Historical Society.

If the survey lists the date and architect for your building, you're in luck. That means that Commission researchers found a permit, and additional information may be on file in the Commission Offices.
