The city recently contracted with Keystone Preservation Associates and Morrison Design LLC to inventory all of Decatur’s historic buildings and sites.  What are they looking for?  Old buildings!  How old?  50 years and older.  Wait, I think that’s the criteria to belong to AARP.  Too bad we can’t get hotel and insurance discounts for owning old buildings.

So, what’s old in Decatur?

Ah, much better.  A good example of a typical Decatur Bungalow built between 1910-1930.

Here’s a picture of our consultants, Laura Drummond, Janet Barrickman, and Brandy Morrison.  Be on the look-out for them!

Is that a zombie or an old building?  Brandy is taking no chances and snaps the photo!

We’ll keep everyone posted on what we discover in our city!
