Scope and content
Series consists of index cards of properties in St. John's. For the majority of properties, only the civic address and current owner is provided on the index cards. Also included are index cards for seven buildings which were demolished in 1986. The majority of card contain affixed contact prints showing the front and sometimes the sides of the structures.
These cards were assembled as a means of determining the location of properties in St. John's which were deserved of a heritage designation in conjunction with the preparation of the St. John's Heritage By-Law which was enacted in 1977.

General note
During the 1970s, efforts were made to inventory those properties in St. John's which were important municipal heritage structures worthy of preservation due to their enduring architectural or historical significance. Preservation of churches, private dwellings, businesses and government buildings which possessed historic value became a primary initiative of the municipal government, as these sites were viewed as economic and cultural assets. A Heritage Advisory Committee was established to assess historically and architecturally significant properties, most of which were situated within the city's older mercantile district. The work of this committee ultimately led to the passing of the St. John's Heritage By-Law in 1977.
