The Built Heritage Inventory is an illustrated inventory of structures and monuments constructed to provide shelter, conduct business and mark property. It is an ongoing project with 693 properties currently inventoried.

It is not just a list of houses, since surviving outbuildings, markers and monuments also provide valuable information. Nor is it a list of pretty buildings. It is a list of structures that inform our knowledge of the past in this area regardless of their current condition or aesthetic qualities.
