GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Complete each section of the form according to the instructions in this chapter. The instructions are organized by the number and name of each section on the National Register Registration Form (NPS 10-900). The instructions for each section include a reproduction of the section as it appears on the form, basic directions for completing each item with one or more examples, and guidelines for special cases. Lists of data categories and special examples are presented in sidebars. Additional information and sources are provided in the appendices.

CORRECTIONS AND PHOTOCOPIES

Use a typewriter, word processor, or computer to complete the form . Written notes or corrections will not be accepted. Also not accepted are corrections made with tapes, pastes, or fluids. To make minor corrections, type them clearly on the original (using tape, paste, or fluid), and then submit a photocopy of the corrected page on archival paper. Any photocopies submitted with National Register forms must have permanent ink that will not rub off or imprint on adjacent pages.

COMPUTER-GENERATED FORMS

Computer-generated forms may be used in place of the National Park Service form and continuation sheet if they meet certain requirements. They must list in order all items as they appear on the National Register form. They must also contain the form number (NPS 10-900) and the OMB approval number (appearing at the top of the National Park Service form). Forms must be printed with a letter-quality printer on archival paper. The National Park Service can provide a template of the National Register form that can be used with a variety of personal computers and word processing software. Applicants should check with the SHPO or FPO before using a computer-generated form.

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

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 data base.

MAPS AND PHOTOGRAPHS

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.

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

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.

Bennett, John, House

Enter the names of well-known persons as they are listed in the Dictionary of American Biography.

Willard, Emma Hart

Douglass, Frederick

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.

Chestnut, General James and Mary, House

or

Chestnut House

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.

Mystic Townsite Historic District

Snake Valley Archeological District

Burke's Garden Rural Historic District

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)

PROPERTIES WITH COMMON NAMES

Differentiate properties with common names by numbering them or adding the location to the name.

United States Post Office - Walnut Street Branch

World War II Japanese Fortification - Site 2

PROPERTIES WITHOUT HISTORIC NAMES

If a property does not have a historic name, enter "N/A," and see below.

OTHER NAMES/SITE NUMBER

Enter any other names by which the property has been commonly known on the line provided. Also enter the site number, if one has been assigned to the property. Separate the entries with semicolons (;). List additional names on a continuation sheet. 120 characters, including spaces and punctuation, can be entered in the NRIS.

DEFINITION OF OTHER NAMES AND SITE NUMBER

"Other names" may reflect the property's history, current ownership, or popular use and may or may not fall into the categories given for historic names. Site numbers are sometimes assigned to properties, especially archeological sites, by a State or local government or Federal agency for identification.

OTHER NAME USED AS A HISTORIC NAME

If a property does not have a historic name, enter "(preferred)" after the name or site number that should be used for the property in National Register records and publications. Use this name throughout the form and explain in section 8 why it is preferred.

EXAMPLES OF HISTORIC NAMES

The historic name is generally the name associated with the significance of the property. Historic names fall into several categories:

A. Original owner or builder

Decatur, Stephen, House Hadley Falls Company Housing District

B. Significant persons or events associated with the property

Stanton, Elizabeth Cady, House Hammond-Harwood House American Flag Raising Site Columbus Landing Site Florence Townsite Historic District Quilcene-Quinault Battleground Site

C. Original or later significant uses of the property

Great Falls Portage Lithia Park Delaware Aqueduct Faneuil Hall United States Post Office--Main Branch Warren County Courthouse Louisiana State Capitol Cathedral of the Madeleine (Roman Catholic) Lexington Courthouse Square Historic District Fort Worth Stockyards Historic District Hohokam Platform Mound Communities

D. Location

House at 21 Main Street Texarkana Archeological District South Lima Township Historic District

E. Innovative or unusual characteristics

2. LOCATION

STREET AND NUMBER

Enter the name and number of the street or road where the property is located. Do not exceed 120 characters, including spaces and punctuation. This information will also be used for publication in the Federal Register. Do not enter rural postal routes (RFD).

120 Commerce Street

Use abbreviations to save space if necessary, for example, "SR" for State route, "Jct" for junction or intersection, "N" for north, and "mi" for mile.

GUIDELINES FOR ENTERING STREET AND NUMBER

• SR 2309

• If a property does not have a specific address, give the names of the nearest roads. Describe, if possible, the property's relationship to the roads.

  1 mi. w. of jct. US 1 and Middletown Rd.

• For districts, enter either the inclusive street address numbers for all buildings and structures or a rough description of the boundaries.

  12-157 Main St., 380 Frost St., and 20-125 Oak St. Roughly bounded by Smithfield Lake, North and Lowell Avenues, and Interstate 73 Eight blocks in downtown Huntersville centered around University Square

• For federally owned properties, also enter the name of the district, forest, reserve, or other organizational division identifying the location of the property.

  Targhee National Forest

• For properties within the National Park system, also enter the name of the park, and place the parks's alphabetic code in parentheses.

  Mammoth Cave National Park (MACA)

NOT FOR PUBLICATION

Mark "x" in the boxes for both "not for publication" and "vicinity" to indicate that a property needs certain protection. To protect fragile properties, particularly those subject to looting and vandalism, the National Park Service will withhold information about the location and character of the property from the general public. The Federal Register will indicate "Address Restricted" and give the nearest city or town as the property's location (see instructions for Vicinity below). The NRIS will also refer to the location this way. Further, the National Park Service will exclude this information from any copies of documentation requested by the public. Enter "N/A" if there is no reason to restrict information about the property.

Any information about the location, boundaries, or character of a property that should be restricted should be compiled on one or more continuation sheets. On the same sheet, explain the reasons for restricting the information. For further information, refer to National Register Bulletin 29: Guidelines for Restricting Information About Historic and Prehistoric Resources.

CITY OR TOWN

Enter the name of the city or town where the property is located. For properties outside the boundaries of a city or town, follow the instructions for Vicinity.

VICINITY

For a property located outside the boundaries of a city or town (or where the address is restricted), mark "x" in the box, and enter the name of the nearest city or town found on the USGS map in the blank for "city or town." Enter "N/A" for other properties.

STATE

Enter the name and two-letter postal code of the State or Territory where the property is located. Codes are given in Appendix I. Use a continuation sheet for any additional names and codes.

COUNTY

Enter the name of the county, parish, district, or equivalent area where the property is located. County codes are given in Appendix II. Use a continuation sheet for any additional names.

ZIP CODE

Enter the postal zip code for the area being registered. Use a continuation sheet for any additional zip codes.

3. STATE/FEDERAL AGENCY CERTIFICATION

SHPOs and FPOs complete this section.

Instructions can be found in Appendix VIII.

4. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE CERTIFICATION

The National Park Service completes this section.

5. CLASSIFICATION

OWNERSHIP OF PROPERTY

Mark "x" in all boxes that apply to indicate ownership

Private: Property owned by an individual, group of people, or organized body such as a church, corporation, or Indian tribe.

Public-local: Property owned by a local government such as a municipality or county.

Public-State: Property owned by the State government.

Public-Federal: Property owned by the U.S. government.

CATEGORY OF PROPERTY

Mark "x" in the box for the kind of property being documented: building, district, site, structure, or object. Mark only one box. See National Register Property and Resource Types for definitions and examples.

PROPERTIES CONTAINING MORE THAN ONE RESOURCE

Classify a property having a main resource and a small number of related secondary resources by the main resource.

City park with small fountain = Site (for park)

Lighthouse, keeper's house, and oil shed = Structure (for lighthouse)

Outdoor sculpture with low wall = Object (for sculpture)

Similarly, if two or more resources are attached , classify them by the most important resource.

House with attached garage = Building

District applies to properties having:

• large acreage with a variety of resources, such as a large farm, estate, or parkway.

A district may also contain individual resources that although linked by association or function were separated geographically during the period of significance, such as discontiguous archeological sites or a canal system with manmade segments interconnected by natural bodies of water. A district may contain discontiguous elements only where the historic interrelationship of a group of resources does not depend on visual continuity and physical proximity (see section on Geographical Data)

Examples: 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.

Examples: 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.

Examples: 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.

Examples: 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.

Examples: 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.

NAME OF RELATED MULTIPLE PROPERTY LISTING

Enter the name of the multiple property listing if the property is being nominated as part of a multiple property submission. This name appears on the Multiple Property Documentation Form (NPS 10-900-b). Instructions for preparing multiple property submissions are found in Chapter IV and in National Register Bulletin16B: How to Complete the National Register Multiple Property Documentation Form. Check with the SHPO or FPO for further information about multiple property listings. Enter "N/A" for other properties.

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:

• Determine whether each resource does or does not contribute to the historic significance of the property. (See Determining Contributing and Noncontributing Resources below.)

• Count the contributing and noncontributing resources in each category. (See Rules for Counting Resources below).

RULES FOR COUNTING RESOURCES

• 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 7. For additional guidance, contact the SHPO.

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:

• it independently meets the National Register criteria (Identify contributing resources of this type and explain their significance in section 8).

A noncontributing building, site, structure, or object does not add to the historic associations, historic architectural qualities, or archeological values for which a property is significant because:

• due to alterations, distrurbances, 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 a district being enlarged from 26 buildings to 48, enter "26."

EXAMPLES OF RESOURCE COUNTS

A row of townhouses containing 12 units      =12 contributing buildings

A train station consisting of           =one contributing building
a depot with an attached system
of canopies, platforms, tunnels,
and waiting rooms 

A firetower consisting of a tower and        =one contributing structure
attached ranger's dwelling 

A church adjoined by a historically      =one contributing building or one contributing site
associated cemetery

A district consisting of 267 residences,     =275 contributing buildings, one contributing 
five carriage houses, three privies of a     structure, and 58

period of significance plus 35 houses, 23 
garages, and an undetermined number of 
sheds built after the period of significance 


An archeological district consisting of the  =one contributing site, one contributing 
ruins of one pueblo, a network of historic   structure, and one noncontributing

6. FUNCTION OR USE

GUIDELINES FOR ENTERING FUNCTIONS

GENERAL

• 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.

• Select functions that relate directly to the property's significance and occurred during the period of significance (see Period of Significance).

• 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

• 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.

HISTORIC AND CURRENT FUNCTIONS

From the list, Data Categories for Functions and Uses, below, select one or more category and subcategory that most accurately describe the property's principal functions. Enter one category and subcategory in each blank on the form. Use a continuation sheet, if additional space is needed.

7. DESCRIPTION

ARCHITECTURAL CLASSIFICATION

Complete this item for properties having architectural or historical importance. Select one or more subcategory to describe the property's architectural styles or stylistic influences from the list, Data Categories for Architectural Classification, below. Enter one subcategory in each blank on the form, placing those most important to the property first. Use a continuation sheet for additional entries.

GUIDELINES FOR ARCHITECTURAL CLASSIFICATION

If none of the subcategories describes the property's style or stylistic influence, enter:

1.the category relating to the general period of time, and

2.if possible, enter in the next blank "other:" and the term (not exceeding 28 characters) commonly used to describe the style or stylistic influence.

Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals

Other: Chateauesque

(Enter the general category by itself if no specific style or stylistic influence is apparent but the general characteristics of the period are present.)

For properties not described by any of the listed terms - including bridges, ships, locomotives, and buildings and structures that are prehistoric, folk, or vernacular in character, enter "other:" with the descriptive term (not exceeding 28 characters) most commonly used to classify the property by type, period, method of construction, or other characteristics. Use standardized terminology, terms recommended by the SHPOs, or a regionally-based system of nomenclature wherever possible. Do not use function , such as "worker housing" and "industrial," unless it actually describes a design or construction type. Define all terms in the narrative for section 7. Do not enter "vernacular" because the term does not describe any specific characteristics.

Other: Pratt through truss

Other: Gloucester fishing schooner

Other: I-house

Other: split-log cabin

Other: Chaco Canyon

For properties not having any buildings or structures, such as many archeological and historic sites , enter "N/A."

For buildings and structures not described by the listed terms or by "other" and a common term , enter "No style."

DATA CATEGORIES FOR ARCHITECTURAL CLASSIFICATION

The following list has been adapted from American Architecture Since 1780: A Guide to Architectural Styles by Marcus Whiffen; Identifying American Architecture by John J. G.

MATERIALS

Enter one or more terms from the list, Data Categories for Materials, to describe the principal exterior materials of the property. Enter both historic and nonhistoric materials.

Enter one category or subcategory in each blank for "foundation," "walls, "and "roof." Under "other," enter the principal materials of other parts of the exterior, such as chimneys, porches, lintels, cornices, and decorative elements. Use a continuation sheet for additional entries, making sure to list them under the headings: "foundation," "walls," "roof," or "other." For properties not having any buildings or structures, such as many archeological and historic sites , enter "N/A."

GUIDELINES FOR ENTERING MATERIALS

• For structures and objects , complete "foundation," "walls," and "roof" only if these features are present, as in a wooden covered bridge on stone piers. Use "other" for exterior features, such as the deck of a ship, that cannot reasonably qualify as a roof, foundation, or wall.

• For historic districts , list the major building materials visible in the district, placing the most predominant ones first.

• Enter the materials of above-ground ruins under the feature they correspond to, such as foundation or walls, or under "other."

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 middle-class 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.

In additional paragraphs provide the information listed in Guidelines for Describing Properties below. Include specific facts and, wherever possible, dates. Organize the information in a logical manner, 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).

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.

WRITING AN ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION

Some general principles for describing buildings:

• 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 below, 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.

A number of publications available from the National Trust for Historic Preservation, American Association for State and Local History, and the Historic American Buildings Survey, Historic American Engineering Record, and Preservation Assistance Division of the National Park Service are also helpful in describing resources such as commercial buildings, architecture of ethnic groups, historic districts, historic landscapes, terra cotta buildings, historic barns, and historic houses.

8. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

APPLICABLE NATIONAL REGISTER CRITERIA

Mark "x" in one or more of the boxes to identify the National Register criteria for which the property qualifies for listing. The National Register criteria are listed below.

For districts with properties individually meeting the National Register criteria, mark x in the box that identifies the criterion for which that property is significant as well as the criterion for the district as a whole.

A historic district significant for its collection of period revival houses also contains the home of an influential newspaper publisher who contributed to local labor reforms in the 1920s. Check boxes B and C.

Properties are often significant for more than one criterion. Mark only those boxes for qualifying criteria that are supported by the narrative statement of significance. A National Register nomination may claim and document signifi
