The Landmarks Commission is an advisory body  that promotes the educational, cultural, economic and general welfare of Middletown through the preservation of historic buildings and structures, and of places and districts of historic interest and the development and maintenance of appropriate settings for such buildings, structures, places and districts.

The Landmarks Commission provides architectural review of structures within Historic Districts. Property owners planning additions or modifications to strucutres within historic districts are requred to undergo an architectural review and obtain a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Commission. The purpose is to insure that the historic integrity of the district is maintained for all residents in the neighborhood and in the township.

They also work to identify and record all buildings, sites, places and structures or significant historical or architectural value and aid the public in understanding their worth.

Residents interested in contributing and qualified to contribute to the preservation of historic buildings, places and structures are appointed to the commission by the Township Committee. The term of office is four years. The Commission is required to include a historian, an archivist and an architect.

Meetings are held the second Thursday of each month at the Middletown Library, 55 New Monmouth Road, at 7:30 p.m. Call 732-615-2014 for more information or send an e-mail directly to the Commission. (Select Landmarks Commission from the drop down menu.)
