This is the first in a series of educational e-mail "bytes" on historic
preservation in Thousand Island Park.
Question: What's the difference between the Preservation Board and
the Landmark?
Short answer: The Preservation Board handles architectural review of TIP
building projects. Landmark promotes, encourages and advocates for
preservation of TIP's architecture.
Long answer: With Thousand Island Park's designation as a National
Register Historic District in 1982, the T I Park Corporation created the
Preservation and Architectural Review Board in 1987, charging it with
overseeing the Corporation's commitment to protect the community's
significant architectural heritage. The Preservation Board derives its authority
from the shareholder- approved Preservation Code and Land Use
Regulations for Leaseholders. It reviews all applications for any modifications
to the exterior of cottages and all new construction in the Park, based on T I
Park's preservation code. Our listing on the National Register of Historic
Places means that we must have and adhere to a preservation code. The
Landmark Society was founded in 1976 as a tax exempt, not-for-profit
corporation. Its legal name is Thousand Island Park Preservation Co., Inc.
d/b/a Thousand Island Park Landmark Society. The Landmark Society's
purposes include encouraging preservation, restoration, rehabilitation and
historic research; providing training opportunities to support historic
preservation; organizing exhibits and lectures; gathering and disseminating
information regarding the history and architecture of T I Park; operating a
resource library and gift shop; and working with others to ensure the
preservation of buildings in the Park. The Landmark Society has no
enforcement authority.
We hope this information is useful. If you have questions, comments or ideas
