National Register Nominations
The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of the nation's historic places worthy of preservation. Listing on the National Register is not only an honor, it also enables properties to qualify for an array of preservation grants, as well as rehabilitation tax credits.

To be eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, properties must generally be at least 50 years old, retain historic architectural integrity, and meet at least one of the following criteria:

-
Criterion B: associated with the lives of persons significant in our past
-
Criterion C: embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master
-
Criterion D: have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history
