Stone Walls, Cites and the Law: Preservation Education and Research

Details

This article illustrates the significance of stone walls as historic structures and reviews some of the relevant laws and ordinances which regulate them. The authors argue that there is legal precedent for treating stone walls as “structures” per the National Historic Preservation Act, yet advocate for the need to continue to enact new laws and amend existing ones at the State and Local levels to ensure the preservation of stone walls.
