HISTORIC PROPERTY PLAQUES
Recognize the importance of a historic house, building, or area with a custom bronze or aluminum plaque.
Whether you want to describe the unique history of the property or simply identify it as a
National Register of Historic Places site, I can help you get the details right.
I specialize in matching period-accurate fonts and borders for historic districts. I personally oversee the design and foundry selection to ensure your plaque meets architectural standards, and I will send you a digital proof for approval before anything is cast.
Some examples are shown below, but your plaque will be custom-designed to fit your ideas and the space.

Preserving History with Custom Cast or Machined Bronze or Aluminum
For owners of historic homes and properties, a plaque is more than a sign—it is the finishing touch on a restoration. Longview Graphics specializes in creating historically accurate plaques that meet the high standards of local Historical Societies and the National Register of Historic Places.
Design & Architectural Standards
-
National Register Plaques: We can replicate the standard "National Register" layout or create a custom narrative plaque that tells the unique story of your property.
-
Period-Accurate Fonts: We offer traditional serifs (like Clarendon or Roman) that match the architectural style of Federal, Victorian, and Colonial era buildings.
-
Mounting on Masonry: Many historic properties require installation on brick or stone. We can provide blind stud mounts (hidden from the front) or painted, countersunk screws (with or without decorative rosette screw covers) to ensure a secure install without damaging the aesthetic.
Common Questions for Historic Markers
Q: Can you match an existing plaque in our neighborhood?
A: Yes. If you are part of a Historic District or neighborhood, we can match the specific shape, border style, and font used by your neighbors to ensure uniformity.
Q: Is Bronze or Aluminum better for historic homes?
A: Bronze is the "gold standard" for historic properties due to its traditional patina that improves with age. Aluminum is sometimes used for a more modern look or when budget is a primary constraint, but Bronze is the historically correct choice for many pre-1950s structures.
