Historic district gold leaf numbers are a classic detail on older homes and buildings. Traditional gold numbers on the glass transom above a front door have marked addresses for generations. We gild these transoms for homes, businesses, and apartment buildings in Washington, DC, Baltimore, and Annapolis.
A historic district is an area where the city protects older buildings and their original character. Review boards often guide what owners may change outside, including signs, windows, and house numbers.
Why Gold Leaf Fits Historic Districts
Gold leaf is as traditional as house numbers get. Our gilding techniques and materials are approved by the residential and commercial historic districts in Annapolis and Washington, DC. We apply 23 karat gold leaf by hand, the way gilders have worked for centuries. Rules vary by district, so tell us your address and we will guide you.

Real gold does not rust, and it does not tarnish. A gilded number keeps its bright color for decades with simple care. That is why these numbers still look sharp on homes a century old.
