A Plaque for Your Property:
Milton
Historical Society is interested in providing a plaque for
historic commercial, residential, industrial, civic and
religious buildings in
Milton
.
The
MILTON HISTORICAL SOCIETY,
in
accordance with various objectives
and regulations, has the responsibility
in its plaquing program to establish the following procedures.
1.
The SOCIETY (MHS) will research at its own expense, the
property in question
.
2. The property OWNER agrees to assist with any private
documentation it may have in its possession.
3. The SOCIETY is bound by rules that govern the
architectural design, form of construction and the age of
any building to be plaqued. Because of its commitment to the
heritage community it has the responsibility to perform this
evaluation and research in a just and accurate way.
4. It is understood, by both parties, that the wording on
the plaque will be in accordance with the information
gathered in the research of the property.
5. It is understood, by both parties, that there can be no
change in the
date of the property once the correct information has been
established.
6. It is understood, by both parties, that the person making
the request for plaquing agrees to the charges made by the
Society for the production of the plaque. The fee is
$100.00 per plaque, unless more detail is required on a
plaque, which would result in a higher fee charged by the
sign maker.
7. Fee for the plaque is due at the time the research is
approved by the OWNER. It is the OWNER’s responsibility to
install the plaque at an appropriately visible point on the
building. Any fees connected with the installation are the
responsibility of the OWNER.
8. It is understood by both parties, that if item 5 of this
By-law is violated in any manner then the research, plaque
and its availability to the owner will be withdrawn by the
Milton Historical Society.

MILTON HISTORICAL SOCIETY
reserves the right to alter the wording on the plaque in the
future if subsequent research indicates a correction is
necessary. The cost of such alteration would be the
responsibility of the SOCIETY
.
10.
An application must be completed by the owner to
have the property considered for a plaque. The Society
reserves the right to decline the research of a property.
