A Boston Landmark is a designation by the Boston Landmarks Commission for historic buildings and sites throughout the city of Boston based on the grounds that it has historical, social, cultural, architectural or aesthetic significance to New England or the United States. While National Landmark or National Register status can provide tax incentives for the owner of an income-producing property, local landmark status provides more control over modifications to a designated historic structure or place.
Once designated, any proposed alterations must be reviewed and approved by the Boston Landmarks Commission.
A number of sites have remained pending since the 1980s. Pending and Designated Landmarks , PDF file, Retrieved September 8, 2018
