historic preservation commission <br />of south bend and st. joseph county <br />ROOM 1123 COUNTY CITY BUILDING <br />south bend, Indiana 46601 (219) 284-9798 <br />there have been several studies that demonstrate that property values at <br />___the__v_e-r_y.__1-e_as_t -sta-bi-lize--aEter--..de.signa-t-ions .-and -in.-.many cases --increase <br />dramatically. If there are sources demonstrating otherwise, Mr. Zappia does <br />not cite them. <br />Example:,A study* of Historic Districts in four cities -- Alexandria, <br />Virginia, Galveston, Texas, Seattle, Washington and Savannah, Georgia -- <br />showed an increase in property values for family homes in all four <br />districts when compared to surrounding areas of the cities. In none of <br />these Historic Districts did property values decrease after designation. <br />*Advisory Council on Historic Preservation "Preservation and Urban <br />Revitalization" (U.S. Govt. Printing Office, 1979) <br />5. SALE OF HOMES IN HISTORIC DISTRICTS, Mr. Zappia asserts that prospective <br />buyers will not want to purchase in a District. In fact, there are many <br />people eager to buy property in Historic Districts; our office is <br />constantly providing information to real estate agents in order that they <br />might market "historic homes" and homes in "historic areas." In addition we <br />are regularly providing prospective home buyers with information about our <br />local districts. <br />Fred M. Holycross <br />Director <br />June, 1992 <br />
