Historic Property Lighting
Historic district holiday and permanent lighting with non destructive mounting methods that protect original brick, stone, and woodwork.
How the program works
Historic property lighting is the most specialized install category in the Lighting Partners network. Historic district mounting standards, original brick and woodwork preservation, and historic commission review all factor into the install plan. The crew uses non destructive mounting methods on every historic property install, often with site specific coordination with the local historic commission.
Every historic district has its own approval process. Beacon Hill Architectural Commission in Boston, the Alexandria Architectural Review Board in Old Town Alexandria, the Commission of Architectural Review in Richmond, and dozens of others. The local Lighting Partners franchise has installed across enough historic properties to know which mounting methods pass review without delay in each district.
The mounting approach is the key technical differentiator. No drilling into brick, no piercing of woodwork, no fasteners that damage original materials. The crew uses non damaging clips that attach to the gutter lip or to the shingle edge, with hidden wire routing through soffits and downspouts where possible. Permanent outdoor lighting on historic properties uses channel mounts that fit into the existing soffit without damaging the original ceiling material.
