BVL Historic Preservation Research is an architectural history firm that provides exceptional research services as on-site consultants and investigative researchers.
BVL HPR is a leader in National Register of Historic Places nominations, historic tax credit consulting, and property/house histories, proudly serving clients nationwide for over a decade.
Historic Tax Credit Consulting
We provide expert "boots-on-the-ground" and personalized consulting for developers, architects, and homeowners hoping to engage in the federal and state historic tax credit programs.
National Register of Historic Places Nominations
BVL HPR specializes in the research, architectural evaluation and report compilation necessary to gain National Register status for your property.
House & Property Historic Research
From homeowners wanting to know the story of their historic house to architects in need of targeted research on the evolution of specific architectural elements.
At BVL, we believe the more deeply a place is understood, the more deeply it is valued. We are driven by a passion to “humanize” America’s historic architecture, using research to bring soul, identity, and purpose back to old spaces and places.
Every building & every landscape has a story - a story of the people, events and historic context surrounding its existence - & we are eager to lead you on that investigative journey.
