      \n\tFrequently Asked Questions<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n

      \tWhat will be considered for a marker?<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n

      \n\tAny building 70 years or older which meets building marker program’s criteria.<\/p>\n

      \n\t <\/p>\n

      \n\tWhat is considered in determining the integrity of the building and approval of the application? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n\tSee following page with excerpt from the Secretary of Interior’s Standards.  Standards 1, 2, 3, and 9 are mandatory.  One exception will be provided for Standard 5 provided the change is not overly drastic. Alterations 70 years or older will also be eligible for consideration.<\/p>\n

      \n\tWhat will the markers look like and what will the cost be to the owners?  <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

      \n\tIt is a rectangular marker, made of heavy-duty plastic material, 12” x 8” in dimension made by Day-Old Trophies, a Clinton business.  Words are etched into the plastic, so they will not fade. Marker is a gold color with black lettering. Brass hardware will be provided to mount the sign to the building. There will be a one to two week turnaround for approved signs to be made. Day-Old Trophies estimates a 20-30 year life expectancy depending on the care and treatment of the sign. The homeowner would attach their marker when approved. The cost when a building is approved is $30.00 which pays for the sign, photos, and printed materials.<\/p>\n

      \n\tWhat will be the procedure for getting a marker for your building and a response from the committee?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

      \n\tThe Clinton area building or home owner would need to fill out an application and provide copies of documentation.  Example of documentation could include a deed, mention in a historic book, tax records, and \/or map showing existing structure (e.g. Sanbourne Fire Insurance maps.)  The Historical Society Marker Program Subcommittee will review the application, view the building, and verify the information provided. Once approved, the marker will be ordered from Day-Old Trophies and presented at an award ceremony in the fall.<\/p>\n

      \n\tWhere can I receive a marker application?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

      \n\t Applications are available by contacting the Historical Society of Clinton or by requesting one at the desk of the Clinton Library.<\/p>\n
