Wood Windows and Doors Program

The restoration and protection of Deadwood’s historic buildings and structures are a primary part of the City’s goal to preserve and maintain Deadwood’s historic integrity. The expense of such restoration and protection projects may discourage property owners from having the work completed or may result in lower quality of craftsmanship. The purpose of the Wood Windows and Doors Program is to assist and encourage property owners to use quality materials and craftsmanship by repairing first, where possible, and replacing, only if necessary.

To be eligible for the Wood Windows and Doors Program, a project must meet the following criteria:

• The project must affect a property listed on the City of Deadwood’s 1993 Historic Sites Inventory as an historic property in the Deadwood National Historic Landmark District. Properties not listed on the inventory must be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places as defined in the National Park Service’s National Register Bulletin 15: How to Apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation; and
• The building must be a residential property of not more than four dwelling units as defined by Deadwood Planning and Zoning Department.

The City of Deadwood’s Historic Preservation Officer determines a project’s eligibility. All eligible applications are subject to the review by the Deadwood Historic Preservation Commission.

The loan programs are contracted and operated through NeighborWorks Dakota Home Resources.  For information regarding the loan programs click here.
