Resource Center

The Resource Center located at City Hall (3400 Lee Rd.) can help with building code, permit guidelines, and information about roofing, windows, masonry, painting, electrical, and landscaping. The Landmark Commission also maintains the Specialty Contractors & Resources for Historic Homes (PDF), a one-stop resource for contractors and other resources for restoring historic windows, roofs, siding, plaster, and other features of older homes. For additional information on historical preservation, email Cameron Roberts or call at 216-491-1433.
