Oberlin Historic Inventory
The Oberlin Heritage Center, along with the City of Oberlin's Historic Preservation Commission, is involved in a long-term ongoing survey of the historic properties in Oberlin. Each year, we inventory about 50 sites in Oberlin and complete the Ohio Historical Society's Historic Inventory Form for each property. You can download the forms right here; they are also on file at City Hall, the Oberlin Heritage Center Resource Center, and the Ohio Historical Society.
What Is the Ohio Historic Inventory?
The inventory program was developed to serve as an accurate and continuing record of the architectural and historic properties currently existing in the state. The Ohio Historic Inventory is used to record basic information on historic properties in Ohio. Since 1974, over 70,000 historic properties have been entered into the records of the Ohio Historic Inventory.
Who Uses the Ohio Historic Inventory Form and What Is It Used For?
The Ohio Historic Inventory is used by the Ohio Historic Preservation Office staff, by various state, local, and federal agencies, and by the general public for making land-use planning, urban development, and road-improvement decisions. In addition, the inventory serves as an official archive and body of information for researchers and property owners.
What Does the Form Do?
- The Ohio Historic Inventory form provides a brief description of the location, background, and architecture of a building, site, structure, or object of architectural or historical significance.
- The Ohio Historic Inventory form is an important reference for organizing community preservation efforts and can be used as a guide for safeguarding the historical and architectural resources of Ohio.
- The Ohio Historic Inventory form serves as an important data base for the Ohio Historic Preservation Office's computerization efforts.
What Doesn't the Form Do?
- The Ohio Historic Inventory form does not automatically nominate or indicate acceptance of a property to the National Register of Historic Places, though it may serve to bring an eligible property to the attention of local and state governing bodies. It does not designate a property as an Oberlin Historic Landmark, although all surveyed properties are eligible to apply for City of Oberlin Landmark status.
- The Ohio Historic Inventory is not intended to be the complete story on a given property; it is an inventory. The pertinent information should be necessarily brief and condensed, hence the need for accurate and informative documentation.
- The Ohio Historic Inventory is not a form of protection for a historic resource, nor does it provide property owners with a list of do's and don'ts.
For more information, visit the Ohio Historical Society's Historic Preservation Office homepage.
 To view the inventory forms, you will need Acrobat Reader.
The online versions of the forms do not include the names of the current owners of private residences when the form is completed for privacy reasons - if you are seeking this information, visit our Resource Center for the physical copy of the form.
