Jacob Hebeisen House
Minnesota, Reference number: 80001976
Areas of Significance: Architecture/Engineering
Period of Significance: 1875-1899
Status: Listed 1980, removed 2018
A property may be removed from the National Register when it has ceased to meet the criteria for listing because the qualities which caused it to be originally listed have been lost or destroyed (36 C.F.R. § 60.15). In other words, it has lost integrity. When listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, the Jacob Hebeisen House was recognized for both its association with Hamburg merchant Jacob Hebeisen and its architectural significance as a common building type in agricultural Carver County. At the time of its nomination, the Jacob Hebeisen House retained all seven aspects of integrity (location, design, setting, workmanship, materials, feeling, and association). Design, workmanship, materials, feeling, and association were lost when the house and its garage were demolished circa 2002. The location and setting also no longer exist, since the farm road on which the house was located has become part of a residential subdivision of Hamburg.

The Oregon Commercial Company Building in Huntington, Oregon, was largely destroyed by arson in 2019. In May 2025, the Oregon SHPO submitted a tightly written, seven-page request for removal of the property from the National Register: page 1 is the completed Registration Form 10-900-a, with the SHPO certification; page 2 includes the National Register reference number and original listing date, and describes in a single, short paragraph the cause of the damage and current condition of the building; and pages 3 through 7 include embedded images of a news article and before-and-after photographs of the building.

Period of Significance: 1924-1941
Status: Listed 1998, removed 2009
The circa 1924 Stratton House-Orem City Hall in Orem, Utah, listed in the National Register in 1998, was extensively remodeled in 2008. Although the building was previously expanded in 1997 with a rear addition (described in the nomination as “large [but] not intrusive, and barely apparent from the street”), the 2008 changes resulted in a building that no longer conveyed its significance for its role in the establishment and growth of the city of Orem. As succinctly described in the 9-page 2009 removal request, "[t]he building recently received an extensive addition and underwent a major renovation that completely covered the exterior of the original building with new brick and stucco" (Stratton House-Orem City Hall removal request transmittal letter dated July 13, 2009.) This removal request includes an excellent example of the sort of information that must be provided to a petitioner and owner when a SHPO moves a removal request forward.
