The Dickinson Landmark designation is awarded to structures and sites over “60” years of age deemed worthy of recognition for their architectural and/or historical associations.

Ideally, the structure should maintain much of its original appearance and should be an exemplary model of preservation. Historic photographs, if available, should accompany the application for this recognition.
