Historic Districts
Historic Saratoga Springs
Several beautiful neighborhoods and Broadway comprise the historic districts. These areas contain some of the loveliest and most historic architecture in Saratoga Springs. If you live in one of the mansions on Union Avenue, a carriage house on Grand Avenue, or operate a business on Broadway, you are part of the history of Saratoga Springs.
What Is a Historic District?
In 1977, the City enacted a local historic preservation ordinance to provide for designation of buildings and neighborhoods of special historic and architectural character in order to protect them from destruction, insensitive rehabilitation or new construction. A "review process" exists to review proposed changes to buildings within the districts. The goal of the process is to protect the architectural character of the Historic District's buildings while allowing owners the flexibility to adapt the structures to changing needs.
