Local Register of Historic Resources
The City maintains a Local Register of Historic Resources, which includes buildings, structures, objects, sites and districts that have sufficient integrity and are significant in Fresno’s history. As of May 27, 2011 there are 271 individual listings on the Register including the Fresno Buddhist Temple (#024), the Fresno Memorial Auditorium (#052) and the Rowell Building (#170). Twenty-eight buildings on the Local Register are also listed on the National Register of Historic Places. These “crown jewels” of the community include local landmarks such as the Old Fresno Water Tower (HP#001), the Thomas R. Meux Home (HP#002) and the Tower Theatre (HP#190). Thirteen properties are also listed as Heritage Properties. In addition to individual listings Fresno has three designated historic districts: the Porter Tract (near Fresno City College), the Wilson Island (near the Tower District), and the Chandler Airfield/Fresno Municipal Airport. At least twelve other districts have been recommended through surveys or community specific plans.
A separate web site lists the entire Register at
