Q. I've heard there are controls on what can be done to the properties in a Historic District. Am I going to have to ask someone before I repaint my house?
A. No. There are controls to help maintain the special character and qualities of a Historic District. The Historic Preservation Commission must issue a Certificate of Appropriateness, based upon local Design Guidelines, before buildings or their appurtenant fixtures may be constructed, altered, demolished, or reconstructed. But if you use the same or similar color of paint no permission is required to repaint your house. It is assumed that people will continue to exercise the same good taste they have shown in the past. The Commission is available to advise those desiring assistance.

Highlights From the March Meeting
The dedication of Thomasville's third civil war trail marker will be held on Saturday, March 24th at 11:00 am. This marker commemorates an Army wayside hospital in the city following the battle of Bentonville in March 1865.
Plans for additional signs marking historic districts are in the works. The signs will be added to existing street names to identify individual streets located in the historic districts.
