21 homes were selected to take part in this initiative.
21 homes in Kingston have received special plaques to mark their historical significance.
This initiative celebrates and promotes Kingston’s built heritage resources.
The 21 homes were chosen from a list of more than 1,000 that were registered.
The City's Heritage Services Curator Jessika Moore says many of the homeowners feel they are a part of the history.
Each home will have a 15-centemetre cast bronze plaque with the words "Designated Heritage Property" along with the City of Kingston's coat of arms, and address or commonly known name.
Moore says the plaques will help signify its heritage status.
The plaques were installed at homes and buildings in the Sydenham, King’s Town, Portsmouth, Lakeside, Collins-Bayridge and Loyalist-Cataraqui districts of Kingston.
Moore says there is an interactive map that show all the properties with the heritage designation.
Moore says this initiative will be an annual program and they are currently developing an online application system for owners of designated or listed heritage properties to request a heritage property marker.
