Streetscape

Mission: The combination of historic buildings and streetscape defines the historic character of German Village by their physical presence and sense of identity and stability.  The streetscape incorporates the public spaces between the buildings, such as the tree-lined streets, alleys, and pedestrian walkways.  The distinguishing materials, such as brick streets, stone curbs, and brick sidewalks, are regarded as architectural treasures to be protected. 

As the Sub-Committee of the Historic Preservation Standing Committee of the German Village Society, it is the mission of the Streetscape Committee to principally educate and advocate for the preservation of the integrity of our streetscape.  The Streetscape Committee must strive to ensure the Vision of the German Village Society is acknowledged, as the streetscape plays a vital component of the future of the Historic District.
