Historic Preservation Plaques

Mark a preserved landmark, a completed restoration, or a building renovation with a bronze or aluminum plaque built to last for generations.

Plaques for preserved and historic buildings

Communicating a strong visual message is our primary focus at Rocky Mountain Plaques. We work with historic preservation groups and societies across the Rocky Mountain region and deliver a premier plaque solution for every project. Consider a portrait-shaped bronze oxide plaque with a high-resolution engraved photo and the history of the preserved building — historic photos of the structure itself make especially powerful designs, preserving details for future generations to enjoy.

Offering both bas relief and engraved bronze solutions makes us a one-stop shop for historic preservation plaque needs. We also offer traditional cast bronze plaques that can be customized with logos and unique background colors. All cast bronze plaques come with textured or non-textured backgrounds — consider leather, pebble, or smooth — and every plaque can include line art in a variety of shapes and sizes.

How much does a plaque cost?

We offer a wide range of sizes and materials to fit any budget.

Restoration plaques

A building restoration deserves a marker as enduring as the work itself. A classic choice is a double-border 18” x 12” bronze plaque with a dark blue leather texture background — a timeless design that complements any facade. Share your ideas with us and we will create the perfect building restoration plaque for your organization.

Building renovation plaques

Civic leaders regularly contact us to create plaques for municipal complex renovation projects, including the names of civic leaders and commissioners on the finished piece. When a town seal is part of the design, the engraving captures every detail. In addition to oxide bronze, we offer a wide range of traditional background colors on our renovation plaques, and you can request custom shapes or include photos and logos in the design. Every project includes a free design mockup, so you can review the layout before production begins.
