    Historic structures are the tangible existence of cultural heritage modernizing urban history which makes the identity of a city. More than 100 years ago, the research interest increased in conserving architectural heritage, historical monuments and buildings, and its growing intensity of recognizing heritage-site as evidence of history. Besides, global literature could not satisfy how to recognize the local heritage and preserve its historical essence. Moreover, old urban structures have significant civic value to reuse publicly, which is not evident in developing counties. For instance, developing countries like Bangladesh have not yet explicitly prepared intense strategies to consider urban historical existence and its historical values. This research finds a Kalurghat bridge as a case which was the only transportation route between the southern region of the Chattogram division and the rest of the country around the beginning of the 19th century. Remarkably, the Bridge was used for a station of the East Bengal Regiment and documented in several valuable existences during the independence of Bangladesh in 1971. This research considers mixed-method research needs to consider which are context-based and design-based research applications. The main focus is to analyze the historical existence to recognize it as a heritage site by screening historical coding and determining the future effect of using a historic urban structure through morphological analysis. The secondary data (e.g., World heritage act and Antiquities Act of 1968) are used for comparative analysis to establish the existence of heritage sites. Primary data sources are used for understanding different stakeholders' perceptions through key informant interviews and narrative questionnaires. Findings illustrate that existing historical evidence should be documented as a heritage site, suggesting establishing a heritage-based public functional space with its cultural distinctiveness, which would disclose the presence of historical pride.
