Put A Plaque On It

Bellevue is a borough flush with well over 1,000 turn of the century homes and buildings rich with character and charm.

A Hometown Full of History

Bellevue has well over 1,000 turn-of-the-century homes and buildings that testify to the borough’s “streetcar suburb” origins and exemplify its small town character and quality of life. As part of the activities marking Bellevue’s 150th anniversary in 2017, Bona Fide Bellevue offered the owners of architecturally notable homes and businesses an opportunity to purchase and display bronze plaques that recognize the historic nature of their properties. Across the country, studies have shown that such programs create positive opportunities for marketing, enhance home values, and promote pride in ownership.

Historic designation was based on a scoring system that included age, integrity, condition, design, and other characteristics. A committee of volunteer residents with expertise in historic architecture and local history personally examined over 2,600 buildings in the borough and created an inventory of 729 properties that met the eligibility criteria. Hundreds of volunteer hours were expended in this effort. The committee contacted the owners of eligible properties, contracted for fabrication of the plaques, and delivered them to interested homeowners in August 2017. Plaques are now proudly displayed on homes and businesses throughout the borough of Bellevue.

The bronze plaques were affordable ($109 each) and paid entirely and voluntarily through property owners who wished to participate. It is important to note that a building’s eligibility for a historic plaque does not create preservation protection or preclude owners from making changes to their properties.

The project was completed in March 2018. However, as time passes and new residents move into the borough, there may be sufficient public interest to revive the program. If interested, owners of eligible properties are encouraged to contact Bona Fide Bellevue.

Defining Historic

Building eligibility is determined by AGE and a rubric of several elements:

Condition
Architectural Features and Design
Authenticity to Historical Period
Historic Significance

Frequently Asked Questions

What homes/buildings were approved?

You can view the list at the bottom of the page.

Will owners have the opportunity to purchase a plaque in the future?

The program may be revived at a future time if there is sufficient public interest.

What does the plaque look like?

The plaque design is based on the original Seal for the Borough of Bellevue.The plaque is 6 inches in diameter and cast bronze. The plaques are produced from a foundry in Western Pennsylvania.

If my home is eligible for a plaque does this mean I can’t make changes to it?

No. Buildings eligible or receiving plaques does not create a preservation protection or preclude owners from making changes to their properties. Only an historic preservation ordinance passed by the local government could enable protection from changes such as building demolition. Such an ordinance would apply with or without a plaque.

“The Historic Property Plaque Program was an idea envisioned to recognize and celebrate the vast number of historic, unique and preserved buildings in Bellevue. A team of residents surveyed the entire Borough on foot. The program was so popular it generated a significant amount of funds which we then used to match a state grant for a followup professional survey of the entire community. “
