Overview

The Downtown London Heritage Conservation District Plan, dated March 2012, prepared for the City of London with Michael Baker, historian, and Sylvia Behr, landscape heritage consultant.

Design guidelines for storefronts, upper facades, roofs, signage, materials, new construction and streetscape precede appendices of maps, a quadrant and property matrix, and street profiles.
