In addition, preser- <br />vation of several of those resources was facilitated through the implementation of various <br />programs. As in the past, the Commission has continued to advise the public on the <br />benefits of preservation, give technical advice on restoration techniques and sources and <br />research methods, and provide historical data on local architecture to private individuals <br />and public agencies. <br />I. CITY SURVEY <br />In its efforts to keep the City Survey as up to date as possible, two buildings were <br />added to the survey with a rating of S/11. They are: 521 Bronson and 521 E. South <br />Street. The rating of four additional buildings was upgraded: 117 W. Colfax, C/9 <br />to S/11; 702 S. Michigan, C/10 to S/I1; 607 Park Ave., C/10 to S/11; and 221 N. <br />Michigan, C/9 to S/11. These ratings were changed because either the structure had <br />been recently(,restored or add4tional historical data was found. <br />II. COUNTY SURVEY <br />The County Survey was also updated. Each township was thoroughly studied for building <br />which had been missed when the survey was originally done and to update the survey <br />maps. Twenty-five buildings were added to the inventory. Unfortunately, forty-one <br />buildings were found to have been demolished since the survey was first completed. <br />Three buildings had to be deleted because of unsympathetic physical changes. <br />III. SMALL TOWN SURVEY <br />In 1983, the Small Town Survey was completed. This year, the Commission plans to <br />publish a Summary Report with the results. <br />IV. LANDMARKS <br />The following structures were designated City Historic Landmarks: <br />702 S. Michigan <br />40 1133 N. Allen <br />
