(Top Left) Located in Hillsborough County, Florida, El Centrol Espanol de Tampa is listed in
the National Register of Historic Places for its significance as the oldest of the Latin clubs in
Tampa and for its architectural design. It was founded in 1891 to provide a social and civic
community for cigar workers from Cuba, New York City, Key West, and Spain. The club
provided family medical services, educational and citizenship programs, and recreational
facilities. The building's architecture is notable for its Spanish and Italian motifs fashioned in
pressed brick and terra cotta. (Walter Smalling, Jr.)

PREFACE
The National Register of Historic
Places is the official Federal list of districts, sites, buildings, structures, and
objects significant in American history,
architecture, archeology, engineering,
and culture. These contribute to an
understanding of the historical and
cultural foundations of the Nation.
The National Register includes:
• All prehistoric and historic units
of the National Park System;
• National Historic Landmarks,
which are properties recognized
by the Secretary of the Interior as
possessing national significance;
and
• Properties significant in American, State, or local prehistory and
history that have been nominated
by State Historic Preservation Officers, Federal agencies, and others, and have been approved for

listing by the National Park Service.
By Federal law, National Register
listing assists in preserving historic
properties in several ways:
• Recognition and appreciation of
historic properties and their importance,
• Consideration in planning Federal and Federally assisted projects,
• Making property owners eligible
for Federal tax benefits,
• Consideration in decisions to
issue surface coal mining permits,
and
• Qualifying preservation projects
for Federal grant assistance.
The Historic Sites Act of 1935 (Public Law 74-292) established the National Historic Landmarks Survey

The National Historic Preservation
Act of 1966 (Public Law 89-665) authorized the National Register of Historic Places, expanding Federal recognition to historic properties of local
and State significance. The National
Park Service in the U.S. Department
of the Interior administers both programs. Regulations for these programs are contained in 36 CFR Part
60, National Register of Historic
Places, and 36 CFR Part 65, National
Historic Landmarks Program.
The National Historic Preservation
Act authorizes State Historic Preservation Officers (SHPOs) in each State
and Territory of the United States to
nominate properties to the National
Register of Historic Places and to
carry out other preservation activities. Federal Preservation Officers
(FPOs) have been designated in Federal agencies to nominate Federal
properties and to fulfill other responsibilities under the Act.

I. INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS THE
NATIONAL
REGISTER OF
HISTORIC PLACES?
The National Register is the official
Federal list of districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects significant in American history, architecture,
archeology, engineering, and culture.
National Register properties have significance to the prehistory or history
of their community, State, or the Nation. The Register is administered by
the National Park Service. Nominations for listing historic properties
come from State Historic Preservation
Officers (SHPOs), Federal Preservation Officers (FPOs), for properties
owned or controlled by the United
States Government, and Tribal Historic Preservation Officers (TPOs), for
properties on tribal lands. Properties
are also determined eligible for listing
at the request of SHPOs, TPOs and
Federal agencies. While SHPOs,
FPOs, and TPOs nominate properties
for National Register listing, private
individuals and organizations, and local governments, often initiate the
process and prepare the necessary
documentation. A professional review board in each State considers
each property proposed for listing
and makes a recommendation on its
eligibility. Communities having a certified local historic preservation program, called Certified Local Governments (CLGs), also make recommendations to the SHPO on the eligibility
of properties within their community.

WHAT QUALIFIES A
PROPERTY FOR
LISTING?
Properties listed in the National
Register of Historic Places possess
historic significance and integrity.

Significance may be found in four
aspects of American history recognized by the National Register Criteria:
•Association with historic events
or activities,
• Association with important
persons,
• Distinctive design or physical
characteristics, or
• Potential to provide important
information about prehistory or
history.
A property must meet at least one
of the criteria for listing. Integrity
must also be evident through historic
qualities including location, design,
setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association.
Generally properties must be fifty
years of age or more to be considered
historic places. They must also be significant when evaluated in relationship to major trends of history in their
community, State, or the nation. Information about historic properties
and trends is organized, by theme,
place, and time, into historic contexts
that can be used to weigh the historic
significance and integrity of a property.

WHAT IS THE
PURPOSE OF THIS
BULLETIN?
This bulletin contains instructions
for completing the National Register
of Historic Places Registration Form
(NPS 10-900). Registration forms and
continuation sheets (NPS 10-900-a)
are available from State historic preservation offices, Federal preservation
offices, and the National Park Service.
The National Register Registration
Form is used to document historic
properties for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places

It is also used to document properties
for determinations of eligibility for
listing.
One registration form is completed
for each entry in the National Register. The entry may be a single property, such as a historic house or
bridge, or it may be a historic district
containing many buildings, structures,
sites, and objects. Registration forms
may be submitted separately or may
be grouped within multiple property
submissions.
Information on the National Register form has several purposes:
• Identifies and locates the historic property,
• Explains how it meets one or
more of the National Register
criteria, and
•Makes the case for historic
significance and integrity.
The registration form must show
that the property meets one of the
four criteria. Even if a property appears to qualify under several criteria,
only one needs to be documented for
listing.
National Register documentation
assists in preserving historic properties by documenting their significance and by identifying the historic
characteristics that give a property
historic significance and integrity.
This information can be used in educating the public about significant
historic properties and their preservation.
Once a property has been listed in
the National Register, documentation, in the form of written records
and a computerized data base called
the National Register Information
System (NRIS), becomes part of a national archive of information about
significant historic properties in the
United States.

WHO MAY PREPARE
A NATIONAL
REGISTER
NOMINATION?
Any person or organization may
prepare a National Register nomination in the form of a completed registration form. This includes property
owners, public agencies, private institutions, local historical societies, local
preservation commissions, local planning offices, social or merchant organizations, professional consultants,
college professors and their students,
special interest groups, or interested
members of the general public.
Applicants submit completed
forms to the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) in the State where
the property is located. Forms for
properties owned by the Federal government are submitted to the Federal
Preservation Officer (FPO) of the
agency responsible for the property.
Forms for properties located on tribal

land are submitted to the Tribal Preservation Officer (TPO) of the Indian
tribe responsible for the property.
Anyone interested in having a
property nominated to the National
Register should contact the SHPO,
FPO, or TPO to learn how nominations are processed and how to get
started. A list of SHPOs, FPOs, TPOs,
and other contacts is found in Appendix IX. The SHPO can also inform applicants if their community is a Certified Local Government (CLG), which
also has a role in nominating properties to the National Register.
Persons researching a historic
property for the first time may wish
to consult National Register Bulletin:
Researching a Historic Property, which

provides helpful hints and sources
for documenting historic houses,
commercial buildings, churches, and
public buildings. Guidance on deciding whether a property has historic
significance and integrity can be
found in National Register Bulletin:
How to Apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation. A sample of a

completed registration form is included in this bulletin.

Additional National Register bulletins, which provide guidance on
nominating specific types of properties, are listed in Appendix X and are
available from the SHPO, FPO, TPO,
or the National Register of Historic
Places, National Park Service, 1849 C
Street, NW, Washington, DC 20240.
The bulletins are also available on the
Web at: www.cr.nps.gov/nr.

completing National Register forms.
These concepts are briefly explained
below. The National Register Bulletin
entitled How to Apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation contains a

more detailed explanation. A glossary in Appendix IV defines other
terms used in this bulletin and the
National Register program.

DEFINITION OF HISTORIC
SIGNIFICANCE
Historic significance is the importance of a property to the history, architecture, archeology, engineering, or
culture of a community, State, or the
nation. It is achieved in several ways:
• Association with events, activities,
or patterns
• Association with important persons
• Distinctive physical characteristics
of design, construction, or form
• Potential to yield important information.
The complete National Register criteria, including the criteria considerations for special kinds of properties,
are listed on page 37. In addition to
the above criteria, significance is defined by the area of history in which
the property made important contributions and by the period of time
when these contributions were made.

DEFINITION OF HISTORIC
CONTEXT
Properties are significant within
the context of prehistory or history.
Historic context is information about
historic trends and properties
grouped by an important theme in the
prehistory or history of a community,
State, or the nation during a particular
period of time.
Because historic contexts are organized by theme, place, and time, they
link historic properties to important
historic trends. In this way they provide a framework for determining the
significance of a property and its eligibility for National Register listing. A
knowledge of historic contexts allows
applicants to understand a historic
property as a product of its time and
as an illustration of aspects of heritage
that may be unique, representative, or
pivotal.
Themes often relate to the historic
development of a community, such as
commercial or industrial activities.
They may relate to the occupation of a
prehistoric group, the rise of an architectural movement, the work of a
master architect, specific events or activities, or a pattern of physical development that influenced the character
of a place at a particular time in history. It is within the larger picture of
a community's history that local significance becomes apparent. Similarly
State and national significance become clear only when the property is
seen in relationship to trends and patterns of prehistory or history statewide or nationally.

DEFINITION OF HISTORIC
INTEGRITY
Historic integrity is the authenticity of a property's historic identity,
evidenced by the survival of physical
characteristics that existed during the
property's prehistoric or historic period.
Historic integrity is the composite
of seven qualities:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

location
design
setting
materials
workmanship
feeling
association

Historic integrity enables a property to illustrate significant aspects of
its past. For this reason, it is an important qualification for National Register listing. Not only must a property
resemble its historic appearance, but it
must also retain physical materials,
design features, and aspects of construction dating from the period when
it attained significance. The integrity
of archeological resources is generally
based on the degree to which remaining evidence can provide important
information. All seven qualities do
not need to be present for eligibility as
long as the overall sense of past time
and place is evident.

GATHERING THE
FACTS
A person wishing to prepare a
nomination needs a thorough knowledge of the property. By physically
inspecting the property and conducting historical research, applicants can
gather facts such as the physical characteristics of the property, date of construction, changes to the property
over time, historic functions and activities, association with events and
persons, and the role of the property
in the history of the community, State,
or the nation.
When gathering information, keep
in mind how it will fit into the final
form. The form, first of all, is a record
of the property at the time of listing:
giving its location, defining its boundaries, identifying its historic characteristics, and describing its current condition. Second, it is a statement of
how the property qualifies for National Register listing. Claims for historic significance and integrity are
supported in the form by facts about
the property. These facts link the
property to one or more of the four
National Register criteria, on one
hand, and to the history of its community, State, or the nation, on the other.
Early ideas about how a property
meets the National Register criteria
can lead applicants to particular
sources and types of information that
may be more useful than others. For
example, historic photographs provide valuable documentary evidence
of the stylistic character and architectural form of a property at a given
time in history. Newspapers and city

directories may prove valuable for
learning how many and what kinds of
businesses existed at a particular time
in a town's history and the role of a
particular store, hotel, or supplier.
First, consult reliable secondary
sources, such as published histories
and biographies, theses and dissertations, theme studies, and survey
forms. If these sources do not provide
basic facts about the property, consult
primary sources such as wills, deeds,
census records, newspapers, maps
and atlases, city directories, diaries,
and correspondence. Persons documenting archeological sites should
also become familiar with related
studies and literature concerning the
cultural group and period of occupation reflected by the site.
Sources of contextual information
include published histories, studies of
historic resources of a particular region or topic, and statements of historic context developed for preservation planning at the local, regional, or
State level. These contain information
about the chronological development
of a community or region where the
property is located or national trends
that the property may be related to.
For example, a study on the work of a
well-known architect may be useful in
determining the significant features of
a public building done late in his career.
The National Register bulletin entitled Researching A Historic Property

has additional guidance and a detailed list of sources for research.

MAKING THE
CASE FOR
SIGNIFICANCE
Facts, such as date of construction,
early owners or occupants, functions,
and activities, not only verify the
property's history, but also place the
property in a particular time, place,
and course of events. With this information, applicants can relate the
property to patterns of history that extend beyond the doorstep or immediate neighborhood. From this perspective, applicants can begin to sort out
the facts that give the property its historic identity and significance. Certain events, associations, or physical
characteristics of the property will

take on greater or lesser importance.
Properties of the same time and place
can be compared to determine
whether their character and associations are unique, representative, or
pivotal in illustrating the history of a
community, State, or the nation.
It is easier to make the case for significance when a property is associated with historic themes or trends

that have been widely recognized and
fully studied, such as a "textbook" example of an architectural style or the
railroad depot that fostered the
suburbanization of many American
cities. For help in assessing significance and integrity, consult the
SHPO, or the National Register
bulletin on How to Apply the National
Register Criteria for Evaluation.

Applicants are ready to complete the registration form when they can
answer the following questions:
• What was the property called at the time it was associated with the
important events or persons, or took on the important physical
character that gave it importance?
• How many buildings, structures, and other resources make up the
property?
• Does the property contain any archeological remains? To what period,
events, and activities do they relate? To what extent has their significance been evaluated?
• When was the property constructed and when did it attain its current
form?
• What are the property's historic characteristics?
• What were the historical influences (such as design, materials, style, or
function) on the property's appearance?
• What changes have been made over time and when? How have these
affected its historic integrity?
• What is the current condition of the property, including the exterior,
interior, grounds, and setting?
• How have archeological sites, if any, been identified (e.g. through
intensive survey)? To what extent and by what methods have subsurface deposits been located?
• How was the property used historically and how is it used today?
• Who occupied or used the property historically? Did they individually, or as a group, make any important contributions to history?
Who is the current owner?
• During what period of prehistory or history was the property associated with important events, activities, or persons?
• Which of the National Register criteria apply to the property? In what
areas of prehistory or history is the property significant?
• How does the property relate to the history of the community where it
is located?
• How does the property illustrate any themes or trends important to
the history of its community, State, or the nation?
• How large is the property, where is it located, and what are its boundaries?

NATIONAL REGISTER
TERMS
Certain conventions and terms are
used for documenting National Register properties. Although there may
be other ways to classify resources,
describe functions or architectural influences, or state the significance of
properties, the standardized terminology and approaches adopted by
the National Register program ensure nationwide consistency of National Register records. They also
make the data in the National Register Information System (NRIS) more
useful. Definitions of these terms
and explanations of how they are
used occur throughout the instructions. A glossary of National Register terms can be found in Appendix IV.

TYPES OF INFORMATION
REQUIRED ON THE FORM

MAPS AND
PHOTOGRAPHS

Carefully follow the directions
item by item. Items on the registration form are diverse. Many items
correspond to NRIS data elements
and require brief facts about the property, such as historic name, or require
an "x" in applicable boxes. Other
items call for categories selected from
lists used in the NRIS or for narrative
statements. Some items apply only
to special kinds of property, such as
buildings or archeological sites.
Where the length of an entry in the
NRIS is limited, the instructions note
the maximum number of characters
that should be entered for a number.
The number of entries that can be
placed in the NRIS for a certain item
maybe limited. In most cases, additional entries will be retained in the
National Register files; they will not
be entered in the computerized da^a
base.

Additional documentation in the
form of photographs, a United States
Geological Survey (USGS) map, and,
for districts, a site plan or sketch map
must accompany completed National
Register forms.

HOW TO ENTER
INFORMATION
Complete all items accurately and
thoroughly. Narrative statements
should be concise and well-organized. Enter "N/ A" for "not applicable" for any item where the information requested is not relevant to the
property being documented. (Do
not, however; put "N/A" in each box
or line within an item.) Use continuation sheets for additional information
and narrative statements (see page
60).

USING LANGUAGES
OTHER THAN ENGLISH
Summary paragraphs in the narrative description and statement of significance may be written in languages other than English. This is
recommended for properties in communities where Spanish or other languages are commonly spoken. Provide translations of the summaries
and all other information in English.

1. NAME OF PROPERTY

Name of Property

historic name.
other names/site number.

HISTORIC NAME
Enter the name that best reflects
the property's historic importance or
was commonly used for the property
during the period of significance.
Enter only one name. Do not exceed
120 characters, including spaces and
punctuation. List additional historic
names under Other Names/Site Number.

The term "property" refers to the
entire geographic area being nominated or considered for eligibility. It
may be an individual building, site,
structure, or object, or it may be a district comprising a variety of buildings, sites, structures, or objects. Properties may be named for persons,
events, characteristics, functions, or
historic associations. Archeological
sites are commonly referred to by site
numbers, but may be given other
names as well. National Register
files, Federal Register, National Register Information System (NRIS), and
any publications will refer to the
property by the historic name. The
historic name is preferred for general
reference because it continues to be
meaningful regardless of changes in
ownership or use and most often relates to the reasons the property is eligible for National Register listing.

USING NAMES OF
PERSONS
When the name of a person is used
to identify a property, use the following format: last name, first name,
and building type.

If a property is significant for more
than one person, choose the most
prominent. If the persons are equally
important, include as many names as
appropriate but do not exceed 120
characters for the entry. A property
may be named for both the husband
and wife who owned it. If there is
not enough space for both names,
choose the most prominent person's
name or eliminate the first names altogether.

NAMING
ARCHEOLOGICAL
PROPERTIES
Name archeological sites and districts by historic or traditional
names.
If an archeological property does
not have a historic or traditional
name, enter "N/ A" and list, under
Other Names/Site Number, the site

number or a name derived from current ownership, an aspect of cultural
significance, location, or geographic
features. Identify the number or
name to be used in National Register
records by adding "(preferred)" after
the entry.
AK 43287 (preferred)

NAMING DISTRICTS
Use traditional terms such as 'Village/' "ranch," "courthouse square,"
or "townsite," or the generic terms
"historic district" or "archeological
district," to indicate the kind of district when naming districts based on
their location or historic ownership.
Modifiers such as "prehistoric,"
"commercial," "civic," "rural," "industrial," or "residential" may also
be used to define the predominant
historic quality of a district. Names
of historic and archeological districts
should reflect the area as a whole
rather than specific resources within
it.

adding the location to the name.

NATIONAL REGISTER PROPERTY AND RESOURCE TYPES
Type

Definition

Examples

BUILDING

A building, such as a house, barn, church,
hotel, or similar construction, is created principally to shelter any form of human activity.
"Building" may also be used to refer to a historically and functionally related unit, such as a
courthouse and jail or a house and barn.

houses, barns, stables, sheds, garages, courthouses, city halls, social halls, commercial
buildings, libraries, factories, mills, train depots, stationary mobile homes, hotels, theaters,
schools, stores, and churches.

SITE

A site is the location of a significant event, a
prehistoric or historic occupation or activity, or
a building or structure, whether standing, ruined, or vanished, where the location itself possesses historic, cultural, or archeological value
regardless of the value of any existing structure.

habitation sites, funerary sites, rock shelters, village sites, hunting and fishing sites, ceremonial
sites, petroglyphs, rock carvings, gardens,
grounds, battlefields, ruins of historic buildings
and structures, campsites, sites of treaty signings, trails, areas of land, shipwrecks, cemeteries, designed landscapes, and natural features,
such as springs and rock formations, and land
areas having cultural significance.

STRUCTURE

The term "structure" is used to distinguish
from buildings those functional constructions
made usually for purposes other than creating
human shelter.

bridges, tunnels, gold dredges, firetowers, canals, turbines, dams, power plants, corncribs,
silos, roadways, shot towers, windmills, grain
elevators, kilns, mounds, cairns, palisade fortifications, earthworks, railroad grades, systems of
roadways and paths, boats and ships, railroad
locomotives and cars, telescopes, carousels,
bandstands, gazebos, and aircraft.

OBJECT

The term "object" is used to distinguish from
buildings and structures those constructions
that are primarily artistic in nature or are relatively small in scale and simply constructed. Although it may be, by nature or design,
movable, an object is associated with a specific
setting or environment.

sculpture, monuments, boundary markers, statuary, and fountains.

DISTRICT

A district possesses a significant concentration,
linkage, or continuity of sites, buildings, structures, or objects united historically or aesthetically by plan or physical development.

college campuses; central business districts; residential areas; commercial areas; large forts; industrial complexes; civic centers; rural villages;
canal systems; collections of habitation and limited activity sites; irrigation systems; large
farms, ranches, estates, or plantations; transportation networks; and large landscaped parks.

NUMBER OF
RESOURCES
WITHIN PROPERTY
Enter the number of resources that
make up the property in each category. Count contributing resources
separately from noncontributing
ones. Total each column. Do not include in the count any resources already listed in the National Register.
Completing this item entails three
steps:
• Classify each resource by category: building, site, structure, or
object. (See National Register Property and Resource Types on page
15.)
• Determine whether each resource
does or does not contribute to the
historic significance of the prop-

16

erty. (See Determining Contributing and Noncontributing Resources
below.)
• Count the contributing and noncontributing resources in each category. (See Rules for Counting
Resources on page 17).

DETERMINING
CONTRIBUTING AND
NONCONTRIBUTING
RESOURCES
The physical characteristics and historic significance of the overall property provide the basis for evaluating
component resources. Relate information about each resource, such as
date, function, associations, information potential, and physical characteristics, to the significance of the overall property to determine whether or
not the resource contributes.
A contributing building, site, structure, or object adds to the historic associations, historic architectural qualities, or archeological values for
which a property is significant because:

A noncontributing building, site
structure, or object does not add to
the historic architectural qualities, historic associations, or archeological
values for which a property is significant because:
• it was not present during the period of significance or does not relate to the documented
significance of the property;
• due to alterations, disturbances,
additions, or other changes, it no
longer possesses historic integrity
or is capable of yielding important information about the period; or
• it does not independently meet
the National Register criteria.

NUMBER OF
CONTRIBUTING
RESOURCES
PREVIOUSLY
LISTED IN THE
NATIONAL
REGISTER
Enter the number of any contributing resources already listed in the
National Register. This includes previously listed National Register properties, National Historic Landmarks,
and historic units of the National
Park system.
If no resources are already listed,
enter "N/A."
For the nomination of a district with 5
previously listed buildings, enter "5."
Fora district being enlarged from 26
buildings to 48, enter "26."

RULES FOR COUNTING RESOURCES
• Count all buildings, structures, sites, and objects located within the
property's boundaries that are substantial in size and scale. Do not
count minor resources, such as small sheds or grave markers, unless
they strongly contribute to the property's historic significance.
• Count a building or structure with attached ancillary structures, covered walkways, and additions as a single unit unless the attachment
was originally constructed as a separate building or structure and later
connected. Count rowhouses individually, even though attached.
• Do not count interiors, facades, or artwork separately from the building
or structure of which they are a part.
• Count gardens, parks, vacant lots, or open spaces as "sites" only if they
contribute to the significance of the property.
• Count a continuous site as a single unit regardless of its size or complexity.
• Count separate areas of a discontiguous archeological district as separate sites.
• Do not count ruins separately from the site of which they are a part.
• Do not count landscape features, such as fences and paths, separately
from the site of which they are a part unless they are particularly
important or large in size and scale, such as a statue by a well-known
sculptor or an extensive system of irrigation ditches.
If a group of resources, such as backyard sheds in a residential district,
was not identified during a site inspection and cannot be included in the
count, state that this is the case and explain why in the narrative for section?.
For additional guidance, contact the SHPO or refer to the National
Register bulletin entitled Guidelines for Counting Resources.

Functions and uses often change. Built as the Stockgrowers Bank in 1916, this building in
Carbon County, Wyoming, became the Dixon Town Hall in 1975. By serving the region's
farmers and ranchers from 1916 to 1923, the bankplayed an important role in fostering thefrontier town's development. (Richard Collier)

GUIDELINES FOR ENTERING FUNCTIONS
GENERAL
• Enter the most specific category and subcategory. For example, "EDUCATION/education-related housing"
rather than "DOMESTIC/institutional housing" for a college dormitory.
• If no subcategory applies, enter the general category by itself. If, in addition, none of the general categories relates to the property's function, enter "OTHER:" and an appropriate term for the function.
• For properties with many functions, such as a farm, list only the principal or predominant ones, placing the
most important first.
• For districts, enter the functions applying to the district as a whole, such as DOMESTIC/village site or EDUCATION/college.
• For districts, also enter the functions of buildings, sites, structures, and objects that are:
1.

of outstanding importance to the district, such as a county courthouse in a commercial center
(GOVERNMENT/county courthouse) or,

2.

present in substantial numbers, such as apartment buildings in a residential district (DOMESTIC/multiple
dwelling) or storage pits in a village site (TRADE/trade).

• For districts containing resources having different functions and relatively equal importance, such as a group
of public buildings whose functions are GOVERNMENT/city hall, GOVERNMENT/courthouse, and GOVERNMENT/post office.
HISTORIC FUNCTIONS
• Enter functions for contributing resources only.
• Select functions that relate directly to the property's significance and occurred during the period of significance (see Period of Significance on page 42).
• Enter functions for extant resources only.
• Enter only functions that can be verified by research, testing, or examination of physical evidence.
• Enter functions related to the property itself, not to the occupation of associated persons or role of associated
events. For example, the home of a prominent doctor is "DOMESTIC/single dwelling" not "HEALTH
CARE/medical office" unless the office was at home (in which case, list both functions).
CURRENT FUNCTIONS
• Enter functions for both contributing and noncontributing resources.
• For properties undergoing rehabilitation, restoration, or adaptive reuse, enter "WORK IN PROGRESS" in addition to any functions that are current or anticipated upon completion of the work.

NARRATIVE
DESCRIPTION
Provide a narrative describing the
property and its physical characteristics on one or more continuation
sheets. Describe the setting, buildings and other major resources, outbuildings, surface and subsurface remains (for properties with archeological significance), and landscape features. The narrative should document the evolution of the property,
describing major changes since its
construction or period of significance.
Begin with a summary paragraph
that briefly describes the general
characteristics of the property, such
as its location and setting, type, style,
method of construction, size, and significant features. Describe the current condition of the property and indicate whether the property has historic integrity in terms of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association.
The Edward Jones House is a 1 and
1/2 story, frame, Arts and Crafts style
bungalow with a modified rectangular
plan, an intersecting gable roof, and a
front porch. The walls and roof are finished with wood shingles, and the
foundation, chimneys, and porch piers
are built of fieldstone. Above the front
porch is an open-timbered end gable
with Japanese-influenced joinery. The
interior of the house reflects the Arts
and Crafts style in the oak woodwork
and built-in cabinetry. The house is in
the Shadyside neighborhood, a middleclass subdivision with tree-lined
streets and 50-foot wide lots. The
house fronts west onto Oak Street and
is set behind a modest, cultivated lawn
which slopes slightly toward the street.
Behind the house, a rock garden incorporates the stonework of the foundation and chimney and is enclosed by a
stone wall. A garage, echoing the
house in design and materials, is set at
the northeast corner of the lot and
reached by a straight driveway from
the street. The property is in excellent
condition and has had very little alteration since its construction.

for example, by describing a building
from the foundation up and from the
exterior to the interior. Districts usually require street by street description with a more detailed description
of pivotal buildings.
The amount of detail needed in the
description depends on the size and
complexity of the property and the
extent to which alterations, additions, and deterioration have affected
the property's integrity. For example, the more extensively a building
has been altered, the more thorough
the description of additions, replacement materials, and other alterations
should be. Photographs and sketch
maps may be used to supplement the
narrative (see Additional Documentation on pages 60 to 65).

The description should be concise,
factual, and well organized. The information should be consistent with
the resource counts in section 5, functions in section 6, and architectural
classification and materials in section
7. Identify, in a list or on the accompanying sketch map, all of the resources counted in section 5 and indicate whether they are contributing or
noncontributing. Also identify any
previously listed resources.
Use common professional terms
when describing buildings, structures, objects, sites, and districts. Define any terms regional or local in
derivation that are not commonly understood or in general use, including
any terms entered under Architectural
Classification.

Hall's Bridge spanning French Creek, built about 1850 and 116 feet in length, is a surviving example of the Burr-truss design, which, invented in 1806, was a major advance in American
bridge design. Over one hundred bridges of this type were built in Chester County, Pennsylvania, between 1812 and 1885. Hall's Bridge is one of the few remaining examples.

WRITING AN ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION
Some general principles for describing buildings:
• Begin the description with a summary paragraph that creates a
rough "sketch" of the building and its site. Use subsequent paragraphs to fill in the details following the outline established in the
summary paragraph.
• Describe the building in a logical sequence—from the ground up, facade by facade, from the exterior to the interior.
• Use simple but clear language and avoid complex sentences. If you
have difficulty understanding and using the terms found in the suggested guides listed on page 29, consult with the SHPO or FPO staff.
• Clearly delineate between the original appearance and current appearance. Begin by describing the current appearance of a particular
feature. Then describe its original appearance and any changes, noting when the changes occurred.
• When describing groups of buildings, including historic districts,
begin by describing the general character of the group and then describe the individual buildings one by one. For large districts, describe the pivotal buildings and the common types of buildings,
noting their general condition, original appearance, and major
changes. Follow a logical progression, moving from one building to
the next or up and down each street in a geographical sequence.

for religious purposes, structures that have been moved from their original locations, reconstructed historic buildings, properties primarily commemorative in nature, and properties that have achieved significance
within the past 50 years shall not be considered eligible for the National
Register. However, such properties will qualify if they are integral parts
of districts that do meet the criteria or if they fall within the following categories:
A. A religious property deriving primary significance from architectural or artistic distinction or historical importance; or
B. A building or structure removed from its original location but which
is significant primarily for architectural value, or which is the surviving structure most importantly associated with a historic person
or event; or
C. A birthplace or grave of a historical figure of outstanding importance
if there is no other appropriate site or building directly associated
with his or her productive life; or
D. A cemetery which derives its primary significance from graves of
persons of transcendent importance, from age, from distinctive design features, or from association with historic events; or
E. A reconstructed building when accurately executed in a suitable environment and presented in a dignified manner as part of a restoration master plan, and when no other building or structure with the
same association has survived; or
F. A property primarily commemorative in intent if design, age, tradition, or symbolic value has invested it with its own historical significance; or
G. A property achieving significance within the past 50 years if it is of
exceptional importance.

AREAS OF
SIGNIFICANCE
Select one or more areas of prehistory or history, from the list, Data Categories for Areas of Significance, on

pages 40 and 41, in which the property qualifies for National Register
listing. Enter one category or subcategory in each blank, placing the
ones most important to the property
first. Use a continuation sheet for additional entries.
If no category or subcategory applies to the property, enter "other:"
with the name of the area in which
the property attained significance.
An area of significance must be entered for each criterion marked on
the form. Enter only areas that are
supported by the narrative statement.
For districts, enter areas of significance applying to the district as
whole. If properties within the district individually meet the National
Register criteria, enter their areas of
significance also.

Vista House at Crown Point, Oregon, is significant in architecture and transportation. Commanding a spectacular view of the Columbia Gorge, it has served as an observation station and
resting stop along the Columbia River Highway since its contruction in 1918. (Oregon State
Highway Division)

38

GUIDELINES FOR SELECTING AREA OF SIGNIFICANCE
Criterion A: For a property significant under Criterion A, select the category relating to the historic event or
role for which the property is significant, such as "transportation" for a railroad station, trolley car, or stagecoach
stop.
Criterion B: For a property significant under Criterion B, select the category in which the significant individual
made the contributions for which he or she is known or for which the property is illustrative: for example, "literature" and "politics and government" for the home of a well-known political theorist and statesman.
Criterion C: For a property significant under Criterion C, select "architecture," "art," "landscape architecture,"
"engineering," or "community planning and development" depending on the type of property and its importance. Generally "architecture" applies to buildings and "engineering" to structures; however, if a building is notable for its advanced construction technology it may be significant under both "architecture" and "engineering."
For example, a 1930s public building significant for a Depression-era mural is significant under "art," a cathedral
noted as the work of Richard Upjohn and for stained glass by Tiffany under "architecture" and "art"; and an early
example of a concrete rainbow arch bridge under "engineering."
Criterion D: For a property significant under Criterion D, enter the subcategory of archeology that best describes the type of historic or prehistoric group about which the property is likely to yield information. Also,
enter any categories and subcategories about which the site is likely to provide information, for example, "prehistoric archeology," "agriculture," and "engineering" for the ruins of an ancient irrigation system that is likely to
provide information about prehistoric subsistence and technology.

ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES
• Do not confuse area of significance with historic function. Historic function, entered in section 6, relates to the
practical and routine uses of a property, while area of significance relates to the property's contributions to the
broader patterns of American history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture. For example, a stagecoach stop's function would be "hotel" and its area of significance would most likely be "transportation."
• When selecting "archeology" or "ethnic heritage," enter the subcategory that best applies to the property's significance. If no subcategory applies, enter the general category.
• When selecting "archeology," "ethnic heritage," or "maritime history," also enter areas of significance that
closely relate to the events, activities, characteristics, or information for which the property is significant, for
example, "industry" for a prehistoric tool-making site or "military" for a liberty ship that was engaged in an
important battle.
• Do not enter "local history" with "other." Local history is a level of significance, not an area of significance.
Instead, enter the area that most closely relates to the theme or pattern in local history with which the property is associated, for example, "health/medicine" for the home of an eminent local physician, "commerce"
for the site of a traditional marketplace, or "community planning and development" for a residential subdivision that established a pattern for a community's expansion.

PERIOD OF
SIGNIFICANCE
Enter the dates for one or more pe-

riods of time when the property attained the significance qualifying it
for National Register listing. Some
periods of significance are as brief as
a single year. Many, however, span
many years and consist of beginning
and closing dates. Combine overlapping periods and enter them as one
longer period of significance.

DEFINITION OF PERIOD
OF SIGNIFICANCE
Period of significance is the length
of time when a property was associated with important events, activities, or persons, or attained the characteristics which qualify it for National Register listing. Period of
significance usually begins with the
date when significant activities or
events began giving the property its
historic significance; this is often a
date of construction. For prehistoric
properties, the period of significance
is the broad span of time about
which the site or district is likely to
provide information; it is often the
period associated with a particular
cultural group.
For periods in history, enter one
year or a continuous span of years:
1928
1875-1888
For periods in prehistory, enter the
range of time by millennia.
8000 - 6000 B.C.

42

GUIDELINES FOR SELECTING THE PERIODS OF
SIGNIFICANCE
Criterion A: For the site of an important event, such as a pivotal fivemonth labor strike, the period of significance is the time when the event
occurred. For properties associated with historic trends, such as commercial development, the period of significance is the span of time when
the property actively contributed to the trend.
Criterion B: The period of significance for a property significant for
Criterion B is usually the length of time the property was associated with
the important person.
Criterion C: For architecturally significant properties, the period of significance is the date of construction and/or the dates of any significant
alterations and additions.
Criterion D: The period of significance for an archeological site is the
estimated time when it was occupied or used for reasons related to its
importance, for example, 3000-2500 B.C.

ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES
• The property must possess historic integrity for all periods of significance entered.
• Continued use or activity does not necessarily justify continuing the
period of significance. The period of significance is based upon the
time when the property made the contributions or achieved the character on which significance is based.
• Fifty years ago is used as the closing date for periods of significance
where activities begun historically continued to have importance and
no more specific date can be defined to end the historic period.
(Events and activities occurring within the last 50 years must be exceptionally important to be recognized as "historic" and to justify extending a period of significance beyond the limit of 50 years ago.)
Base the period of significance on
specific events directly related to the
significance of the property, for example, the date of construction for a
building significant for its design or
the length of time a mill operated
and contributed to local industry.

Enter one period of significance in
each blank on the form, placing the
ones most important to the property
first. Use a continuation sheet, if
more space is needed. Complete this
item for all properties, even if the period is less than one year.

SIGNIFICANT
DATES
Enter the year of any events, associations, construction, or alterations
qualifying the property for National
Register listing or adding to its significance. A property may have several dates of significance; all of them,
however, must fall within the periods
of significance. Enter one date in each
blank, placing those most important
to the property first. Use a continuation sheet for additional entries.
Some properties with a period of significance spanning many years may
not have any specific dates of significance. In these cases, enter "N/A."

GUIDELINES FOR IDENTIFYING SIGNIFICANT DATES
• The property must have historic integrity for all the significant dates
entered.
• The beginning and closing dates of a period of significance are "significant dates" only if they mark specific events directly related to the
significance of the property, for example, the date of construction that
also marked the beginning of an important individual's residency, or the
closing of a mine that ended a community's growth.
• For a property significant for Criterion C, enter the date of the construction or alterations through which the property achieved its importance.
Enter the dates of alterations only if they contribute to the property's
significance.
• For districts, enter construction dates of only those buildings that
individually had an impact on the character of the district as a whole.
Enter dates of events for which the district as a whole and not individual
buildings is significant, for example, the opening of a trolley line that
spurred a community's suburban development.

DEFINITION OF
SIGNIFICANT DATE
A significant date is the year when
one or more major events directly
contributing to the significance of a
historic property occurred. Examples
include:
construction of an architecturally significant building
opening of an important transportation route

GUIDELINES FOR ENTERING NAMES OF SIGNIFICANT
PERSONS
• Do not enter the name of a family, fraternal group, or other organization.
• Enter the names of several individuals in one family or organization, if
each person made contributions for which the property meets Criterion
B.
• Enter the name of a property's architect or builder only if the property
meets Criterion B for association with the life of that individual, such as
the home, studio, or office of a prominent architect.

predominant ones first. Use a continuation sheet for additional entries.
Enter important cultural affiliations
for properties significant for other criteria, including ethnographic properties, as areas of significance. Enter
"ethnic heritage" following the instructions in Guidelines for Selecting
Area of Significance on page 39.
If a cultural affiliation cannot be
identified, enter "undefined."

DEFINITION OF
CULTURAL AFFILIATION
Cultural affiliation is the archeological or ethnographic culture to
which a collection of artifacts or resources belongs. It is generally a
term given to a specific cultural
group for which assemblages of artifacts have been found at several sites
of the same age in the same region.

NARRATIVE
STATEMENT OF
SIGNIFICANCE
Explain how the property meets
the National Register criteria, using
one or more continuation sheets.
Drawing on facts about the history of
the property and the historic trends—
local, State, or national—that the
property reflects, make the case for
the property's historic significance
and integrity (see Chapter II for an explanation of these terms). The statement should explain the information
entered on the form for the following:
• National Register criteria
• criteria considerations
• significant persons
• period of significance
• significant dates
• areas of significance
• cultural affiliation
The statement of significance contains several parts:
1.
A paragraph summarizing the
property's significance.
2.
Several supporting paragraphs
that briefly discuss:

GUIDELINES FOR ENTERING NAME OF
ARCHITECT/BUILDER
• Enter the names of architectural and engineering firms, only if the
names of the specific persons responsible for the design are unknown.
• If the property's design is derived from the stock plans of a company
or government agency and is credited to a specific individual, enter
the name of the company or agency.
U.S. Treasury
Southern Pacific Railroad
U.S. Army
• Enter the name of property owners or contractors only if they were
actually responsible for the property's design or construction.
• For districts, enter the names of the known architect/builders in
order of their importance to the district.
• If the architect or builder is not known, enter "unknown."

WRITING A STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
Some general principles for stating significance:
• In the summary paragraph, simply and clearly state the reasons why
the property meets the National Register criteria. Add to the information marked on the form for section 8, by providing brief facts that explain how the property meets the criteria, how it contributed to the
areas of significance listed, and the ways it was important to the history of its locality, State, or the nation during the period of significance. Mention the important themes or historic contexts to which
the property relates.
• Using the summary paragraph as an outline, make the case for significance in subsequent paragraphs. Begin by providing a brief chronological history of the property. Then for each area of significance, beginning with the ones of primary importance, discuss the facts and
circumstances in the property's history that led to its importance.
Make clear the connection between each area of significance, its corresponding criterion, and period of significance.
• Be selective about the facts you present. Consider whether they directly support the significance of the property. Avoid narrating the
entire history of the property. Focus on the events, activities, or characteristics that make the property significant. For example, identify
significant architectural details if a building is significant for its design, or explain the role the property played in local commerce or industry.
• Be specific in all references to history or geography. Give dates and
proper names of owners, architects or builders, other people, and
places. Keep in mind the reader who will have little or no knowledge of the property or the area where it is located.
• Include descriptive and historical information about the area where
the property is located to orient the reader to the property's surroundings and the kind of community or place where it functioned
in the past. Again, focus on facts that help explain the property's role
and illustrate its importance.

45

• Ways the property meets the special standards for any criteria considerations marked on the form.

A streetscape in the Minneapolis Warehouse Historic District, Hennepin County, Minnesota,
shows the diverse scale, period, and styles of the district's warehouses and commercial buildings. Begun as the city's warehouse and wholesaling center in the late 19th century, the district
became a major shipping and jobbing center for the upper Midwest by the early 20th century.
(RolfT. Anderson)

• the history of the property,
particularly as it represents
important historic contexts
and reflects the significant
events, associations, characteristics, or other reasons
the property meets the National Register criteria, and
• the historic contexts,
themes, trends, and patterns of development relating to the property.
The statement should be concise,
factual, well-organized, and in paragraph form. Include only information pertinent to the property and its
eligibility. Additional documentation should be maintained by the
SHPO, Certified Local Government,
Federal agency, or another institution.

46

SUMMARY PARAGRAPH
Identify the following items:
• Specific associations or characteristics through which the property

• Specific ways the property meets
the qualifying criterion and has
contributed to each area of significance entered on the form.
• Role of any important persons or
cultural affiliations entered on
the form.

The Edward Jones House, built in
1911, is a product of the dissemination
of the Arts and Crafts philosophy and
aesthetic in America and is an exceptional example of the craftsmanship of
a regionally prominent master builder.
Contextually it relates to the influence
of the American Arts and Crafts Movement in Texas and to the statewide
context, Arts in Texas. Secondarily,
the ]ones House relates to the context,
Community and Regional Planning in
Texas, as a product of the urban
growth ofHilldale and the planned development of Shadyside. The house
meets National Register Criterion C in
the area of Architecture as one of the
best residential examples of the Arts
and Crafts style in the State and as the
work of master builder and craftsman
Gustav Gustavsen.

SUPPORTING
PARAGRAPHS—HISTORY
OF PROPERTY
Discuss the chronology and historic development of the property.
Highlight and focus on the events, activities, associations, characteristics,
and other facts that relate the property to its historic contexts and are
the basis for its meeting the National
Register criteria. Follow the Guidelines for Evaluating and Stating Signifi-

cance listed on pages 47 to 49. The
guidelines, in the form of questions,
address the key points that should be
covered. Consult with SHPO and
FPO staff to determine what and
how much information is needed to
support the property's significance
and integrity.

GUIDELINES FOR EVALUATING AND STATING SIGNIFICANCE
The following questions should be considered when evaluating the significance of a property and developing
the statement of significance. Incorporate in the narrative the answers to the questions directly pertaining to the
property's historic significance and integrity.
ALL PROPERTIES
A. What events took place on the significant dates indicated on the form, and in what ways are they important
to the property?
B. In what ways does the property physically reflect its period of significance, and in what ways does it reflect
changes after the period of significance?
C. What is the period of significance based on? Be specific and refer to existing resources or features within the
property or important events in the property's history.
BUILDINGS, STRUCTURES AND OBJECTS
A. If the property is significant for its association with historic events, what are the historically significant events
or patterns of activity associated with the property? Does the existing building, object, or structure reflect in
a tangible way the important historical associations? How have alterations or additions contributed to or detracted from the resource's ability to convey the feeling and association of the significant historic period?
B. If the property is significant because of its association with an individual, how long and when was the individual associated with the property and during what period in his or her life? What were the individual's
significant contributions during the period of association? Are there other resources in the vicinity also having strong associations with the individual? If so, compare their significance and associations to that of the
property being documented.
C. If the property is significant for architectural, landscape, aesthetic, or other physical qualities, what are those
qualities and why are they significant? Does the property retain enough of its significant design to convey
these qualities? If not, how have additions or alterations contributed to or detracted from the significance of
the resource?
D. Does the property have possible archeological significance and to what extent has this significance been considered?
E. Does the property possess attributes that could be studied to extract important information? For example:
does it contain tools, equipment, furniture, refuse, or other materials that could provide information about
the social organization of its occupants, their relations with other persons and groups, or their daily lives?
Has the resource been rebuilt or added to in ways that reveal changing concepts of style or beauty?
F. If the property is no longer at its original location, why did the move occur? How does the new location affect the historical and architectural integrity of the property?
HISTORIC SITES
A. How does the property relate to the significant event, occupation, or activity that took place there?
B. How have alterations such as the destruction of original buildings, changes in land use, and changes in foliage or topography affected the integrity of the site and its ability to convey its significant associations? For
example, if the forested site of a treaty signing is now a park in a suburban development, the site may have
lost much of its historic integrity and may not be eligible for the National Register.
C. In what ways does the event that occurred here reflect the broad patterns of American history and why is it
significant?

47

ARCHEOLOGICAL SITES
A. What is the cultural context in which the property is considered significant? How does the site relate to what
is currently known of the region's prehistory or history and similar known sites?

do these questions relate to the current understanding of the region's archeology? How does the property
contribute or have the potential for contributing important information regarding human ecology, cultural
history, or cultural process? What evidence, including scholarly investigations, supports the evaluation of
significance?
D. How does the integrity of the property affect its significance and potential to yield important information?
E. If the site has been totally excavated, how has the information yielded contributed to the knowledge of American cultures or archeological techniques to the extent that the site is significant for the investigation that occurred there?
F. Does the property possess resources, such as buildings or structures, that in their own right are architecturally or historically significant? If so, how are they significant?
ARCHITECTURAL AND HISTORIC DISTRICTS
A. What are the physical features and characteristics that distinguish the district, including architectural styles,
building materials, building types, street patterns, topography, functions and land uses, and spatial organization?
B. What are the origins and key events in the historical development of the district? Are any architects, builders, designers, or planners important to the district's development?

significance? Given the existence of material remains with research potential, what is the context that establishes the importance of the recoverable data, taking into account the current state of knowledge in specified
topical areas?
E. How does the integrity of the district affect its significance and potential to yield important information?
F. Does the district possess resources, such as buildings or structures, that in their own right are architecturally
or historically significant? If so, how are they significant?

SUPPORTING
PARAGRAPHS—HISTORIC
CONTEXT
Relate the property to important
themes in the prehistory or history
of its community, State, or the nation.
Include information about the history of the community or larger geographical area that explains the ways
the property is unique or representative of its theme, place, and time.
Consider, for example, the historic
context of the Hartstene Island Community Hall (see the Completed Form
on page 73). The significance of the
hall is based on its role in the community over a period of 45 years. This
significance becomes apparent when
facts about the community's settlement, isolated location, and social activities are considered.
Similarly, the context for a small
town general store relies on facts
about its role in the commercial development of the community:
The railroad affected the growth and
development of Greeneville, creating
the opportunity for businesses like
Bartlett's General Store to flourish.

Such a business, in turn, served not
only its local community but took on
the regional trade of farmers who came
to town to ship their produce, collect
staples and equipment, and conduct
business. Greeneville flourished
through the enterprising spirit and forward thinking of merchants and local
leaders, such as Stephen Bartlett.
Among the several commercial buildings established in the era following
the railroad's introduction, Bartlett's
Store was the largest and continued in
business the longest, adapting to
changing times and needs. Recognition of Bartlett's establishes a standard
for the significance and integrity of a
successful and pivotal commercial
property reflecting the history of the
town.

Incorporate the following information to the extent that it relates to the
significance of the property:
• specific events
• activities and uses
• influence of technology
• aspects of development

• common architectural styles or
types
• construction materials and methods
• role of important persons or organizations
• cultural affiliations
• political organization
• social or cultural traditions
• trends in local or regional development
• patterns of physical development
• economic forces
• presence and condition of similar
properties
The discussion of historic context
should do several things:
• Explain the role of the property in
relationship to broad historic
trends, drawing on specific facts
about the property and its community.
• Briefly describe the prehistory or
history of the community where
the property is located as it di49

rectly relates to the property.
Highlight any notable events and
patterns of development that affected the property's history, significance, and integrity.
• Explain the importance of the
property in each area of significance by showing how the property is unique, outstanding, or
strongly representative of an important historic context when
compared with other properties
of the same or similar period,
characteristics, or associations.
For example, the statement for a residential historic district should discuss
how the associations, architectural
styles and types, and periods reflected
by the district represent one or several
important aspects of the historic development of the community, whether the

50

community has a number of neighborhoods with the same or similar qualities, and how the district is unique or
representative in comparison to other
districts representing its theme and period.

Incorporate the facts needed to
make the case for significance and integrity. Consult with the SHPO or
FPO staff for help in determining
how much and what kinds of information are needed. The site of a pivotal battle or a textbook example of a
prominent architectural style usually
requires less documentation than a
property associated with a commonplace local event or exhibiting a vernacular building form about which
little is written.

GUIDELINES FOR DEVELOPING HISTORIC CONTEXT
Identify and provide facts about one or more themes of history to which the property relates through its historic
uses, activities, associations, and physical characteristics. These facts should be organized by theme, geographical
place, and period of time. Facts may relate to other properties having similar associations or characteristics and
dating in the same place and time. (For a complete discussion of historic context, see the bulletins entitled How to
Apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation and How to Complete the National Register Multiple Property Documentation Form.)
PROPERTIES SIGNIFICANT FOR CRITERION A

Explain how the event or pattern of events made an important contribution to the history of the community
State, or nation, and how related types of properties reflect these events, for example, how the advent of the railroad affected the growth and character of a town in the late 19th century and is represented today by the 1870
depot.
PROPERTIES SIGNIFICANT FOR CRITERION B

Explain why the person with whom the property is associated is important to the history of the community,
State, or nation. Identify also other properties associated with the person and explain their role in the career of the
person, for example, how an author who depicted the people, events, and places of her region achieved statewide
recognition and how a rustic mountain retreat and boarding house where she wrote and found inspiration are the
surviving properties best associated with her life and career.
PROPERTIES SIGNIFICANT FOR CRITERION C

Type or method of construction: Explain why the type, period or method of construction represents architecectural features that are significant in the development of the community, State, or nation, for example, how a local
variation of a split-log I-house represents a once common but now rare housing type of the early 19th century regionally and is a good example of its type.
Work of a master: Provide facts about the career and work of the artist, architects engineer, or landscape architect to explain how the person was accomplished in his or her field and made contributions to the art, architecture,
or landscape architecture of the community, State, or nation, for example, how an architect achieved recognition
for his homes of wealthy merchants and produced a large number of middle and upper class residences on the late
1700s in a prosperous seaport.
High artistic values: Describe the quality of artistry or craftsmanship present in comparable works in the community, State, or nation, for example, how the elaborate hand-carved woodwork apparent in the public buildings
and private homes of a rural county seat in a western State is the notable achievement of a local carpenter and his
family over several generations.
PROPERTIES SIGNIFICANT FOR CRITERION D

Explain why the information the site is likely to yield is important to the knowledge of the prehistory or history of the community, State, or nation, for example, how the data on hunting and gathering practices and technology of a Late Archaic culture will broaden the knowledge and understanding of the culture's occupation regionally.
PROPERTIES OF LOCAL SIGNIFICANCE

Identify the local events and activities relating to the property and discuss their importance to local history.
PROPERTIES OF STATE SIGNIFICANCE

Discuss how the property reflects the history of the State and the ways in which the property is one of the best
of similarly associated properties in the State to represent the theme.
PROPERTIES OF NATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE

Discuss how the property reflects an important aspect of the history of the Nation as a whole or has contributed
in an exceptional way to the diverse geographical and cultural character of the Nation. Also, explain how the
property relates to other properties nationwide having similar associations. (See Chapter V, Documenting Nationally
Significant Properties.)

GUIDELINES FOR ENTERING UTM REFERENCES
• For properties less than 10 acres, enter the UTM reference for the
point corresponding to the center of the property.
• For properties of 10 or more acres, enter three or more UTM references. The references should correspond to the vertices of a polygon
drawn on the USGS map according the following steps:
1. Draw a polygon of three or more sides on the USGS map that
approximately encompasses the area to be registered.
2. Label the vertices of the polygon numerically, beginning at the
northwest corner and moving clockwise.
3. Determine the UTM reference for the point corresponding to
each vertex (see Appendix VIII).
4. Enter the references numerically on the form. Use a continuation
sheet for additional references.
• For linear properties of 10 or more acres, such as railroad, canal, highway, or trail, enter three or more UTM references. The references
should correspond to the points along a line drawn on the USGS map
according to the following steps:
1. Draw a line on the USGS map indicating the course of the
property.
2. Mark and label numerically points along the line that correspond
to the beginning, end, and each major shift in direction. Order
numbers in sequence from beginning to end.
3. Determine the UTM reference for each point.
4. Enter the references numerically on the form. Use a continuation
sheet for additional references.
• If UTM references define the boundaries of the property, as well as
indicate location, the polygon or line delineated by the references must
correspond exactly with the property's boundaries. (See Appendix VIII.)

VERBAL
BOUNDARY
DESCRIPTION
Describe the boundaries of the
property. Use one of the following
forms:
• A map may be substituted for a
narrative verbal boundary
description. Reference to the
map should be made in the
blank on the form. (See page 58.)
• A legal parcel number.
• A block and lot number.
• A sequence of metes and
bounds.

• Dimensions of a parcel of land
fixed upon a given point such as
the intersection of two streets, a
natural feature, or a manmade
structure.
The description must be accurate
and precise. Follow guidelines on
page 58.

BOUNDARY
JUSTIFICATION
For all properties, provide a brief
and concise explanation of the reasons for selecting the boundaries.
The reasons should be based on the
property's historic significance and

to the Guidelines for Selecting

Boundaries on pages 56 and 57.
The complexity and length of the
justification depends on the nature
of the property, the irregularity of
the boundaries, and the methods
used to determine the boundaries.
For example, a city lot retaining its
original property lines can be justified in a short sentence, while a
paragraph may be needed where
boundaries are very irregular, where
large portions of historic acreage
have been lost, or where a district's
boundaries are ragged because of
new construction. Properties with
substantial acreage require more
explanation than those confined to
small city lots.
The boundary includes the farmhouse, outbuildings, fields, orchards,
and forest that have historically been
part of Meadowbrook Farm and that
maintain historic integrity. That parcel of the original farm south of
Highway 61 has been excluded
because it has been subdivided and
developed into a residential neighborhood.

Boundaries for archeological
properties often call for longer justifications, referring to the kinds of
methodology employed, distribution
of known sites, reliability of surveybased predictions, and amount of
unsurveyed acreage.
The southern boundary of the site is
established by the limit of cultural
materials and features and roughly
corresponds to a lowering in grade.
The highest artifact densities recovered during surface collection were
noted at the northern and western
edges of the plowed field. By extrapolation, it is likely that the site extends
into the wooded areas to the north
and west. The western boundary is
established by the railroad cut which
corresponds roughly to the original
terrace edge. The northern and eastern boundaries are set by the contour
line marking an abrupt fall to the
wetland.

For discontiguous districts,
explain in the boundary justification
how the property meets the conditions for a discontiguous district and
how the boundaries were selected
for each area.

55

GUIDELINES FOR SELECTING BOUNDARIES
ALL PROPERTIES
• Carefully select boundaries to encompass, but not to exceed, the full extent of the significant resources and
land area making up the property.
• The area to be registered should be large enough to include all historic features of the property, but should not
include "buffer zones'' or acreage not directly contributing to the significance of the property.
• Leave out peripheral areas of the property that no longer retain integrity, due to subdivision, development, or
other changes.
• "Donut holes" are not allowed. No area or resources within a set of boundaries may be excluded from listing
in the National Register. Identify nonhistoric resources within the boundaries as noncontributing.
• Use the following features to mark the boundaries:
1.

Legally recorded boundary lines.

2.

Natural topographic features, such as ridges, valleys, rivers, and forests.

3.

Manmade features, such as stone walls; hedgerows; the curblines of highways, streets, and roads; areas
of new construction.

4.

For large properties, topographic features, contour lines, and section lines marked on USGS maps.

BUILDINGS, STRUCTURES AND OBJECTS
• Select boundaries that encompass the entire resource, with historic and contemporary additions. Include any
surrounding land historically associated with the resource that retains its historic integrity and contributes to
the property's historic significance.
• For objects, such as sculpture, and structures, such as ships, boats, and railroad cars and locomotives, the
boundaries may be the land or water occupied by the resource without any surroundings.
• For urban and suburban properties that retain their historic boundaries and integrity, use the legally recorded parcel number or lot lines.
• Boundaries for rural properties may be based on:
1.

A small parcel drawn to immediately encompass the significant resources, including outbuildings and
associated setting, or

2.

Acreage, including fields, forests, and open range, that was associated with the property historically and
conveys the property's historic setting. (This area must have historic integrity and contribute to the
property's historic significance.)

HISTORIC SITES
• For historic sites, select boundaries that encompass the area where the historic events took place. Include
only portions of the site retaining historic integrity and documented to have been directly associated with the
event.
HISTORIC AND ARCHITECTURAL DISTRICTS
• Select boundaries to encompass the single area of land containing the significant concentration of buildings,
sites, structures, or objects making up the district. The district's significance and historic integrity should help
determine the boundaries. Consider the following factors:

56

1.

Visual barriers that mark a change in the historic character of the area or that break the continuity of the
district, such as new construction, highways, or development of a different character.

2.

Visual changes in the character of the area due to different architectural styles, types or periods, or to a
decline in the concentration of contributing resources.

3.

Boundaries at a specific time in history, such as the original city limits or the legally recorded
boundaries of a housing subdivision, estate, or ranch.

4.

Clearly differentiated patterns of historical development, such as commercial versus residential or
industrial.
• A historic district may contain discontiguous elements only under the following circumstances:
1.

When visual continuity is not a factor of historic significance, when resources are geographically
separate, and when the intervening space lacks significance: for example, a cemetery located outside
a rural village.

2.

When manmade resources are interconnected by natural features that are excluded from the National
Register listing: for example, a canal system that incorporates natural waterways.

3.

When a portion of a district has been separated by intervening development or highway construction
and when the separated portion has sufficient significance and integrity to meet the National Register
criteria.

ARCHEOLOGICAL SITES AND DISTRICTS
• The selection of boundaries for archeological sites and districts depends primarily on the scale and horizontal
extent of the significant features. A regional pattern or assemblage of remains, a location of repeated habitation, a location or a single habitation, or some other distribution of archeological evidence, all imply different
spatial scales. Although it is not always possible to determine the boundaries of a site conclusively, a knowledge of local cultural history and related features such as site type can help predict the extent of a site. Consider the property's setting and physical characteristics along with the results of archeological survey to determine the most suitable approach.
• Obtain evidence through one or several of the following techniques:
1.

Subsurface testing, including test excavations, core and auger borings, and observation of cut banks.

2.

Surface observation of site features and materials that have been uncovered by plowing or other
disturbance or that have remained on the surface since deposition.

3.

Observation of topographic or other natural features that may or may not have been present during the
period of significance.

4.

Observation of land alterations subsequent to site formation that may have affected the integrity of the
site.

5.

Study of historical or ethnographic documents, such as maps and journals.

• If the techniques listed above cannot be applied, set the boundaries by conservatively estimating the extent
and location of the significant features. Thoroughly explain the basis for selecting the boundaries in the
boundary justification.
• If a portion of a known site cannot be tested because access to the property has been denied by the owner,
the boundaries may be drawn along the legal property lines of the portion that is accessible, provided that portion by itself has sufficient significance to meet the National Register criteria and the full extent of the site is
unknown.
• Archeological districts may contain discontiguous elements under the following circumstances:
1.

When one or several outlying sites has a direct relationship to the significance of the main portion of the
district, through common cultural affiliation or as related elements of a pattern of land use, and

2.

When the intervening space does not have known significant resources.
(Geographically separate sites not forming a discontiguous district may be nominated together as
individual properties within a multiple property submission.)

57

GUIDELINES FOR VERBAL BOUNDARY DESCRIPTION
• A map drawn to a scale of at least 1" = 200 feet may be used in place of a narrative verbal description. When
using a map, note under the heading "verbal boundary description" that the boundaries are indicated on the
accompanying base map. The map must clearly indicate the boundaries of the property in relationship to
standing structures or natural or manmade features such as rivers, highways, or shorelines. Plat, local
planning, or tax maps may be used. Maps must include the scale and a north arrow.
The boundary ofLivermore Plantation is shown as the dotted line on the accompanying map entitled "Survey,
Livermore Plantation, 1958."
• For properties whose boundaries correspond to a polygon, section lines, or contour lines on the USGS map,
the boundaries marked on the USGS map may be used in place of a verbal boundary description. In this
case, simply note under the heading 'Verbal boundary description" that the boundary line is indicated on
the USGS map. If USGS quadrangle maps are not available, provide a map of similar scale and a careful and
accurate description including street names, property lines, or geographical features that delineate the
perimeter of the boundary.
The boundary of the nominated property is delineated by the polygon whose vertices are marked by the following
UTM reference points: A 18 313500 4136270, B 18 312770 4135940, C 18 313040 4136490.
• To describe only a portion of a city lot, use fractions, dimensions, or other means.
The south 1/2 of Lot 36
The eastern 20 feet of Lot 57
• If none of the options listed above are feasible, describe the boundaries in a narrative using street names,
property lines, geographical features, and other lines of convenience. Begin by defining a fixed reference
point and proceed by describing the perimeter in an orderly sequence, incorporating both dimensions and
direction. Draw boundaries that correspond to rights-of-way to one side or the other but not along the
centerline.
Beginning at a point on the east bank of the Lazy River and 60' south of the center of Maple Avenue, proceed east
150' along the rear property lines of 212-216 Maple Avenue to the west curbline of Main Street. Then proceed
north 150' along the west curbline of Main Street, turning west for 50' along the rear property line of 217 Maple
Avenue. Then proceed north 50' to the rear property line of 215 Maple Avenue, turning west for 100' to the east
bank of the Lazy River. Then proceed south along the river bank to the point of origin.
• For rural properties where it is difficult to establish fixed reference points such as highways, roads, legal
parcels of land, or tax parcels, refer to the section grid appearing on the USGS map if it corresponds to the
actual boundaries.
NW1/4, SE 1/4, NE 1/4, S W1/4, Section 28, Township 35, Range 17
• For rural properties less than one acre, the description may be based on the dimensions of the property
fixed upon a single point of reference.
The property is a rectangular parcel measuring 50 x 100 feet, whose northwest corner is 15 feet directly northwest
of the northwest corner of the foundation of the barn and whose southeast corner is 15 feet directly southeast of the
southeast corner of the foundation of the farmhouse.
• For objects and structures, such as sculpture, ships and boats, railroad locomotives or rolling stock, and
aircraft, the description may refer to the extent of dimensions of the property and give its location.
The ship at permanent berth at Pier 56.
The statue whose boundaries form a circle with a radius of 17.5 feet centered on the statue located in Oak Hill Park.

GUIDELINES FOR SKETCH MAPS
• Maps should be drawn or printed on archival paper and folded to fit an archival folder approximately 81/2
by 11 inches. When submitting a large map that is not on archival paper, fold the map and submit it in an archival folder no larger than 8 1/2 by 11 inches.
• Display on one or several identical maps the following information:
1.

Boundaries of the property, carefully delineated.

2.

Names of streets, including those bordering the district.

3.

Names of places, such as street addresses or parcel numbers, that correspond to the description of
resources in section 7.

4.

Highway numbers.

5.

A north arrow (magnetic or true).

6.

Approximate scale.

7.

Contributing buildings, sites, structures, and objects, keyed to the photographs and sections 7 and 8 (see
Guidelines for Describing Properties, pages 31 to 34, for instructions on providing a list in place of identifying contributing and noncontributing resources on a sketch map).

8.

Noncontributing buildings, sites, structures, and objects, keyed to the photographs and sections 7 and 8.

9.

Land uses and natural features covering substantial acreage or having historic significance, such as forests, fields, orchards, rivers, lakes, and harbors.

10. Number and vantage point of each accompanying photograph.
• Use coding, crosshatching, numbering, transparent overlays, or other graphic techniques to indicate the information. Do not use color because it can not be reproduced by microfilming or photocopying.
• For archeological sites and districts, include the following additional items:
1.

Location and extent of disturbances, including previous excavations.

2.

Location of specific significant features and artifact loci.

3. Distribution of sites in a district.
• For properties of 10 or more acres, a USGS map may be used in place of a sketch map as long as it contains
the required information. Several maps drawn to a larger scale may be used to show the concentration of resources in a small area; these should be keyed as inserts to a map covering the entire property, such as a large
area map or the USGS map.
• Sketch maps may also supplement section 7 to illustrate the following:

62

1.

Evolution of a property.

2.

Alterations to a building or complex of buildings.

3.

Floor plans of a significant interior.

4.

Major architectural styles, periods, or building types in a historic district.

5.

Composition of representative sites within an archeological district.

GUIDELINES FOR GEOGRAPHICAL MAPS
• Use a 7.5 or 15 minute series United States Geological Survey (USGS)
Map. Do not submit fragments or copies of USGS maps because they
cannot be checked for UTM references. If there is no USGS map for
the area, a State highway map or, for maritime resources, nautical
charts may be used.
• Do not use adhesive labels or ink on the map. Use pencil only.
• On the map, identify the following items:
1.

Name of the property.

2.

Location of the property.

3.

UTM references entered in section 10 and their corresponding
points (see page 55).
• For properties less than 10 acres, label the UTM reference for the
point corresponding to the center of the property.
• For properties having 10 or more acres:
1.

Indicate the approximate boundaries of the property.

2.

Draw a polygon encompassing the boundaries.

3.

Label each vertex of the polygon by number and UTM reference
as entered in section 10. Order numbers sequentially, beginning
in the northwest corner and moving clockwise.
• For linear properties:
1.

Draw a line indicating the course of the property.

2.

Label, by UTM reference and number, the points along the line
that correspond to the beginning, end, and each major shift in
direction (as entered in section 10). Order numbers in sequence
from beginning to end.

PHOTOGRAPHS
Submit clear and descriptive
black and white photographs with
each registration form. Photographs
should give an honest visual representation of the historic integrity and
significant features of the property.
They should illustrate the qualities
discussed in the description and statement of significance. One photograph
may be adequate to document a property consisting of a single building or
object, while many will be needed for
districts and larger properties. One
copy of each photograph is submitted
to the National Register. The SHPO
or FPO may require one or more additional sets of photographs.
For advice and guidance on photographing architecture and other historic resources, see the bulletin entitled How to Improve the Quality of
Photos for National Register Nominations.

BASIC REQUIREMENTS
Photographs must be:
• unmounted (do not affix photographs to forms by staples, clips,
glue, or any other material),
• high in quality,
• at least 3 1/2 x 5 inches; preferably 8 x 10 inches,
• printed on double or mediumweight paper having a standard
finish (matte, glossy, satin),
• properly processed and thoroughly washed, and
• labelled in pencil (see Resincoated Papers on page 65.)

USE OF PHOTOGRAPHIC
PAPERS

The Farmington Canal in Hartford and New Haven Counties, Connecticut, was constructed between 1828 and 1847. Along its 56 miles, the canal contains 28 locks, numerous bridges, culverts, and an aqueduct. (Historic Resources Consultants)

Black and white papers currently
available may be used. Recommended to ensure longterm durability
are fiber-based papers or resin-coated
papers that have been processed in
trays. Resin-coated papers that have
been processed automatically, however, will be accepted provided they
contain no evidence of residual
chemicals, fading, or yellowing.
Archival printing (as required for
Historic American Buildings Sur-

63

vey and Historic American Engineering Record documentation), the use
of a hypo-clearing or neutralizing
agent, thorough washing, and toning
in selenium or sepia are further recommended to prolong the useful life
of photographs submitted to the National Register. Photographs with
borders are preferred, but not required.

LABELLING
PHOTOGRAPHS
The preferred way to label photographs is to print in pencil (soft lead
pencils work best) on the back of the
photograph. Include the following
information:
1.
Name of property or, for
districts, the name of the
building or street address
followed by the name of the
district.
2.
County and State where the
property is located.
3.
Name of photographer.
4.
Date of photograph.
5.
Location of original negative.
6.
Description of view indicating
direction of camera.
7.
Photograph number. (For
districts, use this number to
identify the vantage point on
the accompanying sketch
map.)
An alternative method of labelling
is to use a continuation sheet. To do
this, label the photographs by name
of property, city and State, and photograph number (items 1, 2, and 7).
List the remaining information (items
3-6) on a continuation sheet, identifying the number of each photograph
and each item. Information common
to all photographs, such as the
photographer's name or the location
of negatives), may be listed once with
a statement that it applies to all photographs.

64

GUIDELINES FOR PHOTOGRAPHIC COVERAGE
The number of photographic views depends on the size and complexity of the property. Submit as many photographs as needed to depict the
current condition and significant aspects of the property. Include representative views of both contributing and noncontributing resources.
Prints of historic photographs may supplement documentation and may
be particularly useful in describing the historic integrity of properties
that have undergone many alterations or changes.
BUILDINGS, STRUCTURES, AND OBJECTS
• Submit one or more views to show the principal facades and the environment or setting in which the property is located.
• Additions, alterations, intrusions, and dependencies should appear
in the photographs.
• Include views of interiors, outbuildings, landscaping, or unusual details if the significance of the property is entirely or in part based on
them.
HISTORIC AND ARCHEOLOGICAL SITES
• Submit one or more photographs to depict the condition of the site
and any above-ground or surface features and disturbances.
• If they are relevant to the evaluation of significance, include drawings or photographs that illustrate artifacts that have been removed
from the site.
• At least one photograph should show the physical environment and
configuration of the land making up the site.
ARCHITECTURAL AND HISTORIC DISTRICTS
• Submit photographs representing the major building types and
styles, pivotal buildings and structures, representative noncontributing resources, and any important topographical or spatial elements
defining the character of the district.
• Streetscapes, landscapes, or aerial views are recommended.
• Views of individual buildings are not necessary, if streetscapes and
other views clearly illustrate the significant historical and architectural qualities of the district.
• Key all photographs to the sketch map for the district.
ARCHEOLOGICAL DISTRICTS
• Submit photographs of the principal sites and site types within the
district following the guidelines above for archeological sites.

RESIN-COATED PAPERS
To label photographs on paper that
will not accept pencil marks (including many resin-coated papers), print
with a permanent audio-visual marking pen or pencil the name and location of the property and number of
the photograph (items 1, 2, and 7) in
the lower right of the front border. If
there is no border, this information
may be printed in the lower right on
the back of the photograph. List additional information on a continuation sheet. Because no marking pens
are archivally stable, take care to confine any marks to the edges of the
print and make sure that ink does not
smudge or bleed through to adjoining prints.

ADHESIVE LABELS
Photographs with adhesive labels
will not be accepted, because the labels detach from the photograph and

their acidity may cause the photograph to deteriorate.

USE OF NATIONAL
REGISTER PHOTOGRAPHS
By allowing a photograph to be
submitted to the National Park Service with a National Register form,
photographers grant permission to
the National Park Service to use the
photograph for publication and other
purposes, including duplication, display, distribution, study, publicity,
and audio-visual presentations.

ADDITIONAL ITEMS
In addition to the requirements described in this bulletin, SHPOs and
FPOs may require additional information not requested on the National Register form. Additional
items may include a duplicate set of

photographs for the State files, sketch
maps, footnotes, or chain of title.
This information may have a variety
of purposes, including documentation for State registers.
All SHPOs will need the names and
addresses of all fee-simple property
owners. This information is used to
notify owners of the intended nomination of their property to the National Register and afterwards its listing. The SHPO or FPO may ask applicants to enter this information on
the form, on continuation sheets, or
in another form.
When there are any special circumstances, the SHPO or FPO will also
submit the following items with the
completed National Register form:
• Notarized letters of objection
from property owners
• Comments received from public
officials, owners, and the general
public.

65

IV. DOCUMENTING
PROPERTIES WITHIN
MULTIPLE PROPERTY
SUBMISSIONS
Document each property within a
multiple property submission on a
separate registration form (NPS 10900). Each property will be listed individually in the National Register.
(Note: While a district may be one of
the types of property within a multiple property group, it is by definition an individual property not a multiple property group.)
Registration forms for properties
may be completed at the same time as
the multiple property documentation
form, or any time thereafter. One of
the major reasons for grouping properties together for listing is to reduce
the amount of documentation on each
property. This applies particularly to
information about methodology, bibliography, and historic context that relates to the group as a whole. Common information is discussed once in
the multiple property documentation
form (NPS 10-900-b) and can be simply referenced in the individual registration forms.
Follow the instructions in Chapter
III to complete these forms, noting the
shortcuts listed in this chapter. Applicants should also consult with the
SHPO or FPO when documenting a
property within a multiple listing.
See the instructions for completing
the multiple property form in the bulletin on How to Complete the National
Register Multiple Property Documentation Form for an explanation of property types and registration requirements.

1. NAME OF
PROPERTY
When naming the property, select a
name that is different from that of
other properties in the multiple property group. If necessary, differentiate
similar names by adding a number,
the location, or some other descriptive
term.
World War II Japanese Fortification—
Site 2
United States Post Office—Main
Branch

3. CERTIFICATION
The appropriate certifying and
commenting officials sign each registration form. (See Appendix VII.)

5. CLASSIFICATION
Enter the name of the multiple
property listing to which the property belongs.
Port Huron Multiple Properties
Historic and Historic Archeological
Resources of the Iron Industry on the
Westland Highland Rim

7. DESCRIPTION
Identify the physical features that
identify the property as a member of

66

its property type. Describe also additional features that make it unique or
distinctive. When discussing the
property's historic and current condition, address any alterations, additions, disturbances, or other changes
that affect the property's representation of its property type.

8. STATEMENT OF
SIGNIFICANCE
For most properties within a multiple property listing, a summary
paragraph is sufficient. The paragraph
identifies the themes or historic contexts for the property and provides
specific facts about the property's history and condition that link it to the
historic contexts and property types
documented on the multiple property
documentation form. The more specific the registration requirements are
in the multiple property form, the
shorter and simpler the statement of
significance will be.
In the summary paragraph:
• Identify the historic contexts and
property types represented by the
property. (These should correspond to those documented on the
multiple property form.)
• Provide facts relating the property
to each historic context and showing that the property possesses the
physical or associative characteristics required for listing as a member of its property type.
• Discuss how the property meets
the National Register criteria and

• Discuss any reasons why a property not meeting the registration
requirements for its property
type merits listing in the National
Register. (For example, upon further information the registration
requirements should be revised,
or, under certain conditions,
some of the requirements should
be waived.)

9. BIBLIOGRAPHY
Cite only sources specifically relating to the property being documented. Cite sources relating to the
group as a whole on the multiple
property form.

The Tekoa Grain Company Elevator and Flathouse, Whitman County, Washington, is one
of several properties listed in the National
Register as part of the multiple property
group, Grain Production in Eastern Washington. (Holstine)

any criteria considerations as a
member of its property type.
Additional paragraphs should:
• Discuss any additional significance, mentioning other historic
contexts, themes, or areas of significance related to the property.
• Provide background information
linking the property with the prehistory or history of the geographical area where the property is located, if this is not covered in the
multiple property form.

10. GEOGRAPHICAL
DATA
Provide a complete set of geographical data with each completed
form.

ADDITIONAL
DOCUMENTATION
MAPS
A single USGS quadrangle map
may be used to indicate the location
of several properties. Also, a single
tax map or other large area map may
be used as a sketch map or in place of
a verbal boundary description for
more than one property.

PHOTOGRAPHS
Submit one or more photographs
with each registration form. Photographs must illustrate the characteristics that relate the property to its
property type, as well as depict its
overall character and condition.

CONTINUATION SHEETS
Label and number continuation
sheets for each registration form separately from the multiple property
form and each other. Include the
name of the multiple property listing
with the property's name and location. Do not combine items for separate properties on a single continuation sheet.

ORGANIZING THE
SUBMISSION
Submit completed registration
forms either separately or together
as a group. This may be done at the
same time or after the multiple property form is submitted.
When submitting a core group of
properties with a multiple property
form, include a continuation sheet
listing the properties. Additional
properties can be added to the multiple property listing at any time.
Properties will be identified in the
NRIS by the name of both the property and the multiple property listing.

V. DOCUMENTING
NATIONALLY SIGNIFICANT
PROPERTIES
The SHPO, FPO, and others may
use the National Register Registration Form, with certain additional information, to recommend properties
for designation as National Historic
Landmarks (NHLs).
This chapter supplements Chapter
III and explains how persons preparing National Register forms can document national significance. Those
who believe a property has national
significance and qualifies for NHL
designation should first review the
NHL criteria for national significance
in Appendix V.

WHAT ARE
NATIONAL
HISTORIC
LANDMARKS
(NHLS)?
NHLs are districts, sites, buildings,
structures, and objects found to possess national significance in illustrating or representing the prehistory
and history of the United States.
NHLs are designated by the Secretary of the Interior. Other than inclusion in the National Park System,
Landmark designation is the Federal
government's only official designation of the national significance of a
historic property. NHLs number less
than four percent of the properties
listed in the National Register.

68

NHL CRITERIA
While the NHL criteria are similar,
they are not identical to those of the
National Register, and set a very
stringent test for national significance, including high historic integrity. If, after reviewing the criteria,
applicants are satisfied that the property is a reasonable candidate for
NHL designation, they should then
contact the SHPO and the National
Historic Landmarks Survey staff in
the History Division of the National
Park Service (see Appendix IX). If the
property is an archeological site or
district, they should also consult the
archeological assistance staff in the
National Park Service regional office.
SHPO and NPS staff will help the applicant determine whether NHL designation should be pursued and
what information is needed to make
the case for national significance.

and a substantial amount of time, at
least 18 months in most cases.
Through the National Register nomination process, a property documented as having national importance can be listed for its State and
local importance. After the property
has been listed, the National Register
staff may recommend it to the Landmarks staff for consideration as a
NHL.

NHL THEME
STUDIES

NHL DESIGNATION

NHLs are most often identified
through theme studies by the Landmarks Survey staff. Theme studies
consist of a context or theme statement and a series of National Register forms relating to a particular topic
in U. S. history or archeology, such as
westward expansion, architecture,
science, or education. There are 34
themes, divided into subthemes and
facets. These are listed in History

NHLs are designated by the Secretary of the Interior after the National
Park System Advisory Board reviews
National Register forms explaining
the national significance of the properties. The National Historic Landmarks Survey staff prepares, reviews,
or revises these forms before they are
considered by the Board. The Landmarks Survey staff is eager to work
directly with interested individuals ,
organizations, and SHPO and Federal agency staff who wish to document properties for NHL designation.
NHL designation requires different
and more comprehensive documentation than National Register listing

Program (1987), which is available
from NPS's History Division. Theme
studies will consider properties already listed in the National Register,
but may include others not yet listed.
If a property has not been listed, designation as a NHL confers listing in
the National Register.
It is easier to make the case for national significance if a theme study
provides the context to judge relative
significance. If no theme study of
comparable properties exists, or if it
is incomplete, the applicant will need
to document the context on the form.
This can be done, for example, by cit-

and Prehistory in the National Park System and National Historic Landmarks

ing judgements of national significance from professional literature.

DOCUMENTING
NATIONAL
SIGNIFICANCE
Applicants are encouraged to provide information in the National Register form that makes the case for
NHL designation. This information
is entered on continuation sheets and
supplements the documentation for
National Register listing (i.e., State or
local significance). The continuation
sheets should:
• Cite the qualifying NHL criteria
(see Appendix V for listing of criteria),
• State the related NHL theme and
explain the property's relationship to it, and
• Explain how the property has significance at the national level.
If a property is already listed in the
National Register, the documentation
may be amended from State or local
significance to national significance
(particularly if new information is
available). Applicants can do this by
revising the entire form or by submitting additional documentation on
continuation sheets (see Chapter VI
on amending forms).
All continuation sheets documenting national significance will become
part of the official file if the property
is designated as a NHL.
When documenting a property believed to be of national significance,
follow the instructions for completing the registration form in Chapter
HI and the special instructions given
below.

1. NAME OF
PROPERTY
Select the historic name reflecting
the highest level at which the property is important.
Bethune, Mary McLeod, Home
Princeton Battlefield
Fort Sheridan Historic District

2. LOCATION
If the property having national significance is different than the property having State and local importance, provide two sets of information for location. Enter the information for the locally or State significant property on the form, and that
for the nationally significant portion
on a continuation sheet.

3. STATE/FEDERAL
AGENCY
CERTIFICATION
LEVEL OF SIGNIFICANCE
The certifying official marks "x"
in all the boxes that apply. "National" is interpreted as a recommendation only until NHL designation is
approved.

(In some cases, it may be advisable
to prepare separate forms and reference them within the larger district
nomination.)

8. SIGNIFICANCE
STATEMENT OF
SIGNIFICANCE
When filling in the blanks on the
form, enter only the information applying to the National Register significance of the property.
List on a continuation sheet entitled, "National Significance":
Applicable NHL criteria.
1.
2.
Any exceptions to the NHL
criteria.
3.
NHL theme(s), subthemes, and
facets to which the property
relates (refer to History and
Prehistory in the National Park
System and the National Historic
Landmarks Program 1987).

7. DESCRIPTION

4.

Identify the resources contributing to national significance. Do this
in one of the following ways:
• List on a separate continuation
sheet the names of the resources
contributing to the national significance of the property.
• Identify, on a separate sketch
map, the resources contributing
to national significance.
If only a portion of a National Register property has national significance and is being recommended for
NHL designation, explain the differences between the two sets of boundaries. The description should clearly
describe what is within the nationally
significant portion of the property
and what is not.
Differences in boundaries may result from:
• An individual property of national significance being within a
National Register district.
• A smaller NHL district lying
within a district of State and local
significance.
• A property of local or State importance being within a NHL district.

On continuation sheets, summarize
the case for national significance, developing the statement at the national level, and relating it to the
NHL criteria and themes as well as
the National Register (State and
local) significance. Although the
statement is a recommendation only
until designation occurs, state it af69

firmatively and support it by a discussion of the proposed historic
theme and facts about the property.
Quotations from nationally known
sources with careful citations may be
a strong testimony for national significance.

10. GEOGRAPHICAL
DATA
If a different set of boundaries is
proposed for the nationally significant property and separate forms
will not be prepared, define two sets
of boundaries and provide separate
geographical data for each. Enter the
set based on the property having National Register significance (State and
local) on the form; enter the set defining the property of national importance on a continuation sheet.

ADDITIONAL
DOCUMENTATION
MAPS
If different boundaries are being
proposed for the nationally significant property, indicate the location,
boundaries, and other information
for both sets on separate sketch and
USGS maps. On the map for the nationally significant property, identify
the following information by coding
or graphics (do not use color):
• Boundaries of the nationally significant property.
• Resources contributing to the national significance of the property.

PHOTOGRAPHS
Include representative views of
the resources that contribute to national significance.

70

GUIDELINES FOR DOCUMENTING NATIONAL
SIGNIFICANCE
• Support claims for national significance by historical facts and comparisons of the property to themes of national importance and to similar properties nationwide. Often the easiest way to do this is to compare the property to existing NHLs and units of the National Park
System.
• NHL themes are not necessarily represented uniformly nationwide.
Regional patterns and property types found only in one part of the
country may be significant nationally if the pattern they represent reflects an important trend in the history of the United States.
• Areas of national significance may differ from those of local and State
significance. For example, a hospital may be important for its architectural design nationally, statewide, and locally, but have importance in medicine only statewide.
• National significance requires that a property be exceptionally important compared to similar properties. For example, only the finest or
the most influential works by a master American architect are likely
to be designated NHLs. Also, not all residences of nationally prominent persons are strong candidates; only those with the strongest and
longest associations are likely to be designated.
• Establishing national significance requires the examination of the
theme in which the property is significant to the extent necessary to
ascertain that the property represents an important aspect of the
theme on a national scale and is outstanding in its representation.
• NHL nominations of archeological sites are encouraged but require
careful documentation. Anyone who wishes to document one for national significance should contact the archeological assistance representative in the appropriate regional office, as well as the SHPO, for
guidance.
• An altered or seriously deteriorated property will not be a strong candidate for NHL designation as long as other properties with similar
importance and a higher historic integrity exist.
• Landmark nominations require advance planning. It takes at least 18
months for review and designation once the documentation is received by the National Park Service. This is in part because there are
only two opportunities each year to present studies to the National
Park Service Advisory Board. Do not assume the documentation will
be presented at the next board meeting; if an urgent situation arises,
contact the Landmarks program staff at once.

VI. AMENDING NATIONAL
REGISTER FORMS
Documentation on a National
Register Registration Form may be
revised, expanded, or updated at
any time after National Register listing. Amendments may be made for
many reasons:
• change a property's historic name
• update the condition of the
property
• clarify boundaries
• expand significance for:
1.
2.
3.
4.

additional levels (including
recommendations for NHL
designation)
additional criteria
new areas of significance
additional periods of
significance

• document the individual significance of a resource within the
property
• increase boundaries
• decrease boundaries
• reclassify contributing and noncontributing resources
• gain approval to move the property
• list a property that was previously determined eligible
• remove a property from the National Register

Registration forms may be
amended in any of the following
ways:
1.
Submit continuation
sheets with the new
information and an
explanation of the
amendment.
2.
Complete a new form
that incorporates former
documentation, new
information, and proposed
changes.
3.
For boundary changes,
provide a form that
documents just the area
being added or deleted.
The SHPO or FPO must certify the
amendment. This is done on a continuation sheet with the certification
statement (see Appendix VII).

GUIDELINES FOR AMENDING FORMS
When amending a registration form, revise all items affected by the proposed change. The items requiring
revision are outlined below.
NAME CHANGES
• Enter, in section 1, the new name, and explain, in section 8, the reasons for the name change.
INCREASING SIGNIFICANCE
• Revise counts and identification of contributing and noncontributing resources in sections 5 and 7 and on
sketch map.
• Revise areas of significance, period of significance, and other items in section 8.
• Discuss, in section 8, additional significance and related historic contexts.
• Provide additional photographs if necessary to represent new significance or contributing resources.
BOUNDARY CHANGES (INCREASES AND DECREASES)
• In section 1, enter the name of the property previously registered, and in parentheses indicate whether the
documentation is for a boundary increase or decrease, for example, Abington Historic District (Boundary Increase). A name change may also be requested.
• In section 2, enter only the address of the area being added or deleted.

71

• Provide new information in section 5 on contributing and noncontributing resources. Indicate how many
resources are affected by the boundary change. For increases, indicate the number and type of resources
being added. For decreases, indicate the number and type of resources being deleted. For both increases
and decreases, enter the total number of previously listed contributing resources (not just those affected
by the change) under Number of Contributing Resources Previously Listed.
• Identify and describe the areas and resources being added or deleted in the narrative for section 7.
• Explain the reasons for the increase (such as the removal of false facades, expanded area survey, or
discovery of new information) or decrease (such as loss of historic integrity) in section 8.
• Document any additional significance in section 8.
• Provide new geographical data in section 10, including location, boundary description and justification,
acreage, and UTM references, for only the area being added or deleted.
• Provide new USGS maps and, if required, sketch maps, reflecting the changes in geographical data.
• Provide photographs of the area being added.

APPROVAL FOR A MOVE
• Provide new information for location and geographical data in sections 2 and 7.
• Describe the procedures for the move and the new location, its setting, and proposed orientation of the
moved resource on the new site, in section 7.
• Explain the reasons for the move, the appropriateness of the new setting and orientation, and the effect
the move and the new location will have on the significance and integrity of the property.
• Indicate, in section 8, how the property, after the move, will meet the special requirements for criteria
consideration B.
• Provide at least one photograph of the proposed site. Photographs of the moved resource on the new site
should be submitted to the SHPO and FPO after the move.
• Explain the effects of the move on any archeological or other historic resources at the new location.
• Approvals for moves are evaluated on the basis of the impact of the move on the property's significance
and integrity and the appropriateness of the new location. For additional guidance, refer to 36 CFR Part
60 and the National Register bulletin on Contributions of Moved Buildings to Historic Districts. Properties
moved without prior approval are automatically removed from the National Register.

LISTING A PROPERTY PREVIOUSLY DETERMINED ELIGIBLE
• To request the listing of a property previously determined eligible because of owner objection (nonfederal
determination of eligibility), submit to the SHPO and FPO a notarized letter from either the owner
withdrawing his or her previous objection or the new owner stating that they are the current owner and
do not object to the listing of the property.

REMOVING A PROPERTY FROM THE NATIONAL REGISTER
• Under very special circumstances, such as deterioration or loss of historic integrity, a property can be
removed from the National Register. These circumstances are explained in 36 CFR Part 60. To request
removal, provide the SHPO and FPO with an explanation of the reasons for removal and any supportive
items such as photographs and newsclippings.

Hartstene Island Community Hall
Mason County, WA

Description
The Hartstene Island Community Hall is a large one-story meeting hall located
at the intersection of two main roads at the northern end of the island.
Since its construction in 1914, it has been in continuous use as a gathering
place for the island's social, recreational, and political activities and is
the focal point of all community life. Built by volunteer labor with donated
materials, the building embodies the frontier spirit that prevailed on the
island in the early decades of the twentieth century. A 1916 shed-roofed
addition to the main hall provided kitchen and dining space, and another early
addition at the rear provided for a stage and backstage facilities. Except
for the modernization of plumbing and mechanical systems and upgrading of the
kitchen, the community hall retains its original appearance and continues its
historical associations with the island's community groups.
The original community hall has a rectangular plan, approximately 55 feet by
30 feet, including an open porch on the east facade. The original foundation,
still visible on the eastern half, consists of uncut stone footings supporting
sections of logs acting as posts. In 1987, a poured concrete foundation was
incorporated at the western end where the land slopes downward to allow a
partial basement area above grade. The wood-frame building is sheathed in
horizontal drop siding with vertical board-and-batten skirting. Window and
door surrounds are plain milled boards with no moulding. Cornerboards,
fascia, knee braces at the gable ends, and porch railings are all of the same
simple millwork. The hip roof of the porch is supported by square posts with
chamfered edges, although two of the original have been replaced with peeled
poles. The porch roof and the main gable roof were originally covered by wood
shingles, which remain under modern corrugated metal roofing.
In 1916, an addition was made to the south side, approximately 15 feet wide
and extending the entire length of the building. This addition provided
dining space and a kitchen area. The interior wall surfaces are now covered
with gypsum board, the kitchen facilities have been modernized, and bathrooms
have been added, but the simple window frames and rectangular four-light wood
sash are original. Another early shed roofed addition at the north provided
space for a shallow elevated stage and a small backstage area that now
includes modern electrical equipment.

Hartstene Island Community Hall
Mason County, WA
Description (continued)
The interior of the hall itself is covered with narrow tongue-and-groove wood
sheathing as is the ceiling. The flooring is hardwood maple, which early on
replaced the original fir, which still can be seen on the narrow slightly
raised platforms around the three edges of the room. The dimensions of the
hall, approximately 47 feet by 30 feet, include a ceiling height of
approximately 16 feet, necessitated by early recreational use of the space for
basketball and volleyball games. When electricity was brought to the island
in the 1940s, six ceiling fixtures were added. These early fixtures were
replaced by handing fluorescent lights.
The setting of the community hall remains quite rural in character. The
building is easily visible from both roads and has a large open graveled area
to the south that is used for parking, but the vicinity remains wooded and the
area is still sparsely inhabited.
Statement of Significance
The Hartstene Island Community Hall is historically significant for its long
association with the development of civic life on the island in the 20th
century. Since its construction in 1914, the hall has been the single most
important structure in community affairs, serving as the home of the local
grange, women's club, community club, and the venue of all of the island1s
important public gatherings and social events. The simple frame structure,
well-preserved and carefully maintained, continues to serve Hartstene Island
in the same capacity today.
Historical background and significance:
Located in the south Puget Sound, with Case Inlet on the east and Pickering
Passage and Peale Passage on the west, Hartstene Island is comprised of 12,000
acres, sparsely settled and accessible to the Mason County mainland only by
ferry until the late 1960s. Although the island was explored by the Wilkes
expedition in 1841 (and named for crew member Henry J. Harstein), economic
activity on the heavily forested island remained limited to logging and
isolated subsistence farms through the early 20th century.

Statement of Significance (continued)
small and scattered population and its remote location, the island had no
central village or community meeting place through the first decade of the new
century.
To address that problem, the Hartstene Island Community Club was established
in 1914, with the intention of erecting a community hall on one-half acre of
land donated by Andrew Johnson near the northern tip of the island. From the
beginning, the project was a community effort. Island resident August Carlson
donated trees for the lumber; John Edgert, Arthur Wingert, and Alan McKay used
two teams of horses to haul the logs from the woods to the beach, where they
were rafted and towed by the Marie and the Levina to a sawmill at Taylor Bay
on the mainland; and the finished lumber was towed back to the island in a
scow by the Marie. and hauled from the beach to the building site by
volunteers with horses and wagons.
Although Grapeview carpenters were hired to supervise construction, they were
assisted by islanders including Lee Carlson, Ed Wilson, Arlo Wingert, Arthur
Wingert, and Paul Hitchcock. Work parties were held during construction with
pot-luck dinners provided by the island women. In 1916, a lean-to shed
addition was constructed to accommodate a large dining hall and kitchen.
Construction of the dining hall was supervised by Bill Sayers, with assistance
from Tony Goetsch, Wilson, Carlson, and others and a large stove was donated
by Mark Reed of the Simpson Logging Company in Shelton. At about the same
time, a stage was added to the rear of the main hall to accommodate
performances.
With construction complete, the hall quickly became a true community center.
From its inception, the hall was the home of the young community club. The
hall was also the meeting site of Hartstene Island Grange #568, established
the year the hall opened, and an important organization in the lives of the
island1s farm families. Two years later (with the kitchen complete), the
Hartstene Women's Club was founded at the center. The hall clearly reflects
the growing role of civic associations in the life of American communities in
the early 20th century.

Hartstene Island Community Hall
Mason County, WA

Statement of Significance (continued)
Initially, the hall was without electricity or plumbing, and island residents
brought wood and buckets of water from their homes. But that did not inhibit
important community-wide events. Dances and festivals attracted participants
from as far away as Agate, Stadium, and Vaughn, who arrived by boat or ferry.
The community hall also served as the polling place for every election; the
site of the annual Harvest Home Festival, sponsored by the Grange; the playing
court for the island basketball and volleyball teams; and the performance hall
for local theatrical productions (later under the auspices of the Hartstene
Island Theatre Club).
Since 1916, the hall has undergone very few changes. The building was wired
for electricity in the 1940s, repairs to the roof were made in the 1970s, and
a new basement was added in 1814. In every instance, the expenses and labor
were borne by community volunteers. The island, too, has gone through a few
changes since the hall was constructed. A bridge was built in the late 1960s,
connecting the island to the mainland, which led to an increase in the
construction of summer homes. But even today the island retains its quiet
character, and the Hartstene Island Community Hall continues to serve as the
well preserved focal point for civic life.

APPENDIX V: THE
NATIONAL HISTORIC
LANDMARKS CRITERIA
The quality of national significance
is ascribed to districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that possess exceptional value or quality in
illustrating or interpreting the heritage of the United States in history,
architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture and that possess a
high degree of integrity of location,
design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association, and:
• That are associated with events
that have made a significant contribution to, and are identified
with, or that outstandingly represent, the broad national patterns
of United States history and from
which an understanding and appreciation of those patterns may
be gained; or
• That are associated importantly
with the lives of persons nationally significant in the history of
the United States; or
• That represent some great idea or
ideal of the American people; or
• That embody the distinguishing
characteristics of an architectural
type specimen exceptionally valuable for a study of a period, style
or method of construction, or that
represent a significant, distinctive
and exceptional entity whose
components may lack individual
distinction; or
• That are composed of integral
parts of the environment not sufficiently significant by reason of
historical association or artistic
merit to warrant individual recognition but collectively compose
an entity of exceptional historical

or artistic significance, or outstandingly commemorate or illustrate a way of life or culture; or
• That have yielded or may be
likely to yield information of
major scientific importance by revealing new cultures, or by shedding light upon periods of
occupation over large areas of the
United States. Such sites are
those which have yielded, or
which may reasonably be expected to yield, data affecting theories, concepts and ideas to a
major degree.
NATIONAL HISTORIC
LANDMARK EXCLUSIONS

Ordinarily, cemeteries, birthplaces,
graves of historical figures, properties owned by religious institutions
or used for religious purposes, structures that have been moved from
their original locations, reconstructed
historic buildings and properties that
have achieved significance within the
past fifty years are not eligible for
designation. If such properties fall
within the following categories they
may, nevertheless, be found to qualify:
• A religious property deriving its
primary national significance
from architectural or artistic distinction or historical importance;
or
• A building or structure removed
from its original location but
which is nationally significant primarily for its architectural merit,
or for association with persons or
events of transcendent impor-

tance in the nation's history and
the association consequential; or
* A site of a building or structure
no longer standing but the person
or event associated with it is of
transcendent importance in the
nations's history and the association consequential; or
• A birthplace, grave or burial if it
is of a historical figure of transcendent national significance and no
other appropriate site, building,
or structure directly associated
with the productive life of that
person exists; or
• A cemetery that derives its primary national significance from
graves of persons of transcendent
importance, or from an exceptionally distinctive design or an exceptionally significant event; or
• A reconstructed building or ensemble of buildings of extraordinary national significance when
accurately executed in a suitable
environment and presented in a
dignified manner as part of a restoration master plan, and when
no other buildings or structures
with the same association have
survived; or
1
A property primarily commemorative in intent if design, age, tradition, or symbolic value has
invested it with its own national
historical significance; or
A property achieving national significance within the past 50 years
if it is of extraordinary national
importance.

Date

State or Federal agency and bureau

Section 3 is completed by State
Historic Preservation Officers
(SHPOs), Federal Preservation Officers (FPOs), and other Federal officials. The certifying official (the
official initiating the action) completes the first signature block. The
commenting official (any State or
Federal official whose comment is required under the National Register
regulations, 36 CFR Part 60) completes the second signature block.
(Local government officials, including those in CLGs, and other persons
may express their opinions in a letter
accompanying the form.)
For nominations to the National
Register, the certifying official is usu-

ally the SHPO of the state where the
property is located or, in the case of a
Federal property, the FPO of the
Appendix VII: 1

agency responsible for property. Requests for Federal determinations of
eligibility are certified by an official
of the Federal agency responsible for
the property or Federal activity affecting the property.
The role of the SHPO, FPO, and
other Federal officials, in each case,
depends on several things: the action
being requested, agency initiating the
action, ownership of property, and requirements in 36 CFR Part 60.
To determine the appropriate certifying and commenting officials in a
particular case, refer to Roles of Certifying and Commenting Officials on

page 2 of this appendix.
By signing the form a certifying official:
• indicates the action being requested,

• attests that the form accurately
and coherently documents the
property,
• attests that all notification and review requirements have been fulfilled,
• provides an opinion on the eligibility of the property, and
• recommends that property is significant either nationally, statewide, or locally.
By signing the form, a commenting
official:
• acknowledges that he or she has
had the opportunity to comment
on the action being requested, and
• provides an opinion on the eligibility of the property.

COMPLETING THE
FIRST SIGNATURE
BLOCK

COMPLETING THE
SECOND
SIGNATURE BLOCK

The certifying official completes
the first signature block by:
1. marking "x" in the boxes to
indicate:
• the action being requested,
• his or her opinion on whether
the property meets the National Register criteria, and
• whether the property is significant nationally, statewide,
or locally (more than one box
may be marked); and
2. signing the form and entering his
or her title, the date, and the
name of the State or, for
Federal officials, the abbreviated name of the agency
and bureau (see Appendix III for
abbreviations).

The commenting official, if any,
completes the second signature
block by:
1. marking "x" in the box that indicates his or her opinion on the
eligibility of the resource, and
2. signing the form and entering
his or her title, the date, and the
name of the State or, for Federal
officials, the abbreviated name
of the agency and bureau (see
Appendix III for abbreviations).
Any commenting official not
believing the property meets the National Register criteria also marks
"x" in the box for "see continuation
sheet" and provides an explanation
on a continuation sheet.
Additional commenting officials
sign a continuation sheet containing
the following statement:

An official not believing the
property meets the National
Register criteria also marks the box
for "see continuation sheet" and
provides an explanation on a continuation sheet.
Each additional certifying official
signs and dates a continuation sheet
containing the following statement:
As the designated authority under the
National Historic Preservation Act, as
amended, I hereby certify that this
nomination meets the documentation
standards for registering properties in
the National Register of Historic
Places and meets the procedural and
professional requirements set forth in
36 CFR Part 60. In my opinion, the
property
meets
does
not meet the National Register
criteria. I recommend that this property be considered significant
nationally
statewide
locally.

Any official not believing the
property meets the National
Register criteria may provide his or
her explanation on the same continuation sheet.

Appendix VII: 3

In my opinion, the property
meets
does not meet the National Register criteria.

The same continuation sheet may
be used for the explanation of a commenting official not believing the
property meets the National Register
criteria.
A continuation sheet with the
above statement may be used in
place of the second signature block, if
a certifying official chooses to send
the commenting officials a copy of
the completed registration form
rather than the original.
Whenever continuation sheets are
used for the opinions of commenting
officials, the certifying agency should
mark "x" in the box for "see continuation sheet" on the form and provide
each commenting official with a continuation sheet ready to complete,
sign, and date.

CERTIFYING
PROPERTIES IN
STATES WITH NO
APPROVED STATE
PROGRAM
In States with no approved State
program, a local government official
or a private individual may nominate
properties directly to the National
Register according to the procedures
set forth in 36 CFR Part 60.
In these cases, section 3 is left blank
and the individual or local official
submits the completed form to the
National Park Service with a letter.
The letter must include the following
items:
1. A statement that the documentation is accurate and meets the
professional standards outlined
in the National Register regulations.
2. The signature of the person
making the nomination, plus
his or her title, affiliation, mailing address, and daytime
telephone number.
3. The names and mailing addresses of the appropriate local
government official and all
legal property owners, so that
the National Park Service can
notify these individuals in accordance with the National
Register regulations.
To find out if a State has an approved program, contact the National Park Service.

ESTABLISHING
SIGNIFICANCE
LOCALLY,
STATEWIDE, OR
NATIONALLY
National Register properties have
significance locally, statewide, or nationally. When a property is
evaluated for National Register listing, its significance is considered in
relationship to other properties and
property types within a common historic context, that is a historic theme,
period and geographical area: for ex-

ample, "Commercial Development of
Greeneville, Tennessee, 1880 to
1930." This evaluation results in a
finding that the property is eligible at
one or several levels.
The certifying official marks "x"
in one or more boxes to indicate his
ox her recommendation on the signif icance of the property. The

recommendation must be supported
by the documentation on the registration form, including the case made
for significance and the development
of historic context. Consult National
Register Bulletin 15: How to Apply the
National Register Criteria for Evaluation
for guidance on establishing whether
a property is significant locally,

statewide, or nationally.
Mark "national" only if the property is documented as having national
importance in the registration form
and should be considered for designation as a National Historic
Landmark. (See Chapter V, Documenting Nationally Significant Properties.)

Appendix VII: 4

APPENDIX VIII:
INSTRUCTIONS FOR
DETERMINING UTM
REFERENCES
The Universal Transverse Mercator
(UTM) Grid System provides a simple and accurate method for recording the geographic location of a
historic property. The UTM Grid System has a number of advantages over
the Geographic Coordinate System of
latitude and longitude, particularly
speed, precision, and the use of linear, metric units of measure. Determining UTM references, in its
simplest application, requires only a
straightedge, a coordinate counter,
and a sharp pencil as working tools.
(The coordinate counter, a plastic
measuring tool, may be obtained
from J & J Reproduction and Drafting Supplies, Inc., 9017-F Mendenhall
Court, Columbia, MD 21045.)
The UTM grid references may be
determined from many USGS quadrangles published since 1950, and all
published since 1959. If there is no
OSGS map with UTM ticks for a location, enter the geographic coordinates for the location of the property
using latitude and longitude or a
State's grid system.
In the UTM system, the Earth is divided into 60 zones, running north
and south, each 6 degrees wide.
Each zone is numbered (most of the
USA is included in zones 10 through
19), beginning at the 180-degree meridian near the International Date
Line. On a USGS map, each zone is
flattened and a square grid is marked
off in meters superimposed upon it.
Any point in the zone may be referenced by citing its zone number, its
distance in meters from a northsouth reference line ("easting"), and
its distance in meters from the EquaAppendix VIII: 1

tor ("northing"). These three figures—the zone number, easting, and
northing—make up the complete
UTM grid reference for any point
and distinguish it from any other
point on Earth.
The simplest method of determining a UTM reference is based on
drawing part of the UTM grid on the
map, and measuring from the grid
lines to the point. It requires the following:
• a flat work surface on which the
map may be spread out in full
• a straightedge (ordinary rulers
may not be accurate enough)
long enough to reach completely
across the map—generally 28" to
36"
• a very sharp pencil and a worksheet
• a UTM coordinate counter
To measure each point, follow
these steps:
1. Draw a line from the top of the
map to the bottom (north to
south), connecting the UTM
ticks of the same value directly
west of the point, that is the
ticks with the highest easting
value west of the point.
2. Draw a line from the left to the
right side of the map (west to
east), connecting the grid ticks
of the same value directly south
of the point, that is the ticks
with the highest northing value
south of the point. This line
will intersect the north-south

line somewhere to the southwest of the point.
3. Record the zone number on a
worksheet. This number appears in the lower left corner of
the map.
4. Record on a worksheet the numbers given by the map ticks
through which the lines have
been drawn. These are the first
three digits of the easting value
and the first four digits of the
northing value.
5. Locate the scale on the coordinate counter matching that of
the map, eg. 1:24,000. Align the
counter on the map so that:
a. the side of the scale that reads
from right to left lies along
the east-west line.
b. the side of the scale that
reads from left to right
passes directly through the
point.
(Check the alignment to be sure
that it is precise.)
6. Read the coordinate counter
scales, right to left for the easting and upward for the northing to get a measured value in
three decimal places. In each
case, enter the measured value
on the worksheet after the number recorded in step 4.
7. Check the readings—are all figures in the correct decimal
place? The easting will have six
digits and the northing seven.

8. Check the figures for accuracy
by remeasuring.
9. Be sure the following is
given: zone number, easting, and
northing (Z,E,N).
10. Enter each grid reference on
the USGS form (in pencil only) and
in section 10 of the registration
form (see instructions on page 55).

One UTM reference is required for
properties less than ten acres;
three or more references for larger
properties.
For more information on determining UTM references and obtaining
USGS maps, go to the United States
Geological Service (USGS) Web site
at: www.usgs.gov, or call 1-800HELP-MAP.

Appendix VIII is based upon National Register Bulletin: Using the UTM
Grid System to Record Historic Sites, for-

merly Bulletin 28, by Wilford P. Cole,
National Park Service. Originally
published in 1977, the bulletin is no
longer in print, but is available in electronic form on the National Register
Web site at: www.cr.nps.gov/nr.
