We are fortunate here in the Tampa Bay area because a lot of this area was mapped in the past by the Sanborn Fire Insurance Company. Copies of these maps are in our local libraries. The City of Tampa’s Historic Preservation Division, John German Library in downtown Tampa and the library in the Seminole Heights neighborhood, to name a few public locations where there are wonderful collections of these maps, as well as other area libraries.

How old does a property have to be?
Properties eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, or those designated as Local Landmarks, are at least 50 years old. Properties less than 50 years of age must be exceptionally important to be considered eligible for listing. Even if a property is not quite old enough to be designated historic today, it is important to retain character defining features, so that it can be eligible when the time comes.
