Project Information

Nebraska Main Street Network was awarded the Historic Preservation Education Grant from the Nebraska State Historical Society. The goal of the project is to promote historic preservation and economic development in our communities. We will evaluate buildings in local Main Streets and create a resource packet tailored to the needs and goals of the property owner. 

Three educational trainings will be hosted as part of the grant and are open to anyone interested!

Building Profiles

Default Suggestions for All Buildings

Default Suggestions for All Buildings

The Nebraska Main Street Network recommends that all building owners do the following:

  1. Conduct monthly walkthroughs of all areas, with special attention to vacant upper floors and the basement, to spot leaks, damage, pests, or other concerns before they worsen.

  2. Inspect the roof twice a year, ideally during seasonal transitions, to ensure gutters, downspouts, scuppers, and roof surfaces remain in good condition.

  3. Assess brick and masonry regularly for mortar integrity, water damage, or deterioration from impacts such as vehicles or trash receptacles.

  4. Perform weekly storefront upkeep by sweeping, cleaning doors and windows, and tending to plants and landscaping.
