The Bartlett Historical Society invites Bartlett building owners to submit their homes for consideration for the 2015 Historical Plaquing. Any building (commercial, public, residential, barn) which is at least 50 years old with architectural details and additions most faithful to the original structure, and maintained in good condition can be submitted. The Bartlett Historical Society will select the final choices and may plaque up to six buildings. However, all other submissions will be held for future consideration.

There is a brief one page application form. To submit your building or get additional information, contact Gary at gplice@sbcglobal.net or 630-830-5047 or carolbartletthissoc@comcast.net or call 630-289-8592. The submission period for the next plaquing is Jan. 8, 2015 to Feb. 8, 2015.

If you enter your building it is important that you include, everything you know about your building’s history such as the name of the builder, date built (circa), architectural style, previous owners, and long time neighbors whom we may contact.  It is also important that you list any historical documents in your possession such as a plat, blueprint, photographs, old tax records or letters that document the structure.
