Many architectural and realty professionals contribute to preservation projects. Each needs and uses different tools in his or her work. The Historic Preservation Branch supports these professionals by:
- Developing prototype solutions and tools
- Promoting best practice exchange between GSA business lines, vendors, project planners, and field operations
- Sharing and building upon, the agency’s growing pool of expertise and accumulated knowledge
- Providing national leadership for compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and other stewardship directives
GSA offers a number of convenient tools for managing GSA’s historic properties.
Historic Building Database
Foremost among these tools is Historic Buildings Database, the data for which is presented to GSA associates via our website, which can be used to generate individual building profiles and other reports.
The website includes GSA’s historic building list, locations, statements of significance, and photographs (see Explore Historic Buildings, Find a Building).
