The Guilford Preservation Alliance (GPA) recently received a $30,000 grant from the State Historic Preservation Office to add an additional 200 historic structures to the 450 buildings in the Historic Resources Inventory for the Town of Guilford.

 The grant, awarded under the auspices of the State Department of Economic and Community Development, will provide funds for architectural historians to identify and inventory historic buildings, produce a survey, including photographs, and give a public presentation on the project. The inventory will be helpful, GPA officials said, in recognizing, protecting and preserving these valuable resources.
