About Winchester
It was in 1979 that the Winchester Historical Commission made a list of every structure in the area that was constructed before 1917. There are 12 bound volumes of the inventory that can be perused by the public at the Public Library and Archive Center. The address, the date of construction (or an expected date), the building's architectural style, and the name of the first owner are all included on the Form B, the state's official data page for each structure. Additional information may be included on certain forms, such as the previous owners, designers, and builders. The National Park Service has designated several areas inside Winchester as historic districts, and the majority of its residential buildings are also on the register. The application documents for an NR dwelling should include a detailed description of the home's history.
