| The National
Register of Historic Places is the Nation's official list
of cultural resources worthy of preservation. The National
Register is part of a national program to coordinate and support
public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect
our historic and archeological resources. The National Register
is administered by the National Park Service, which is part
of the U.S. Department of the Interior. This website is a
database of NRHP listings, sortable by state, historic district
and vacancy. Ask Argus or the SHPO office about how to apply
for National Register listing. NR listing is required for
access to most historic preservation grants, as well as preservation
tax credits, contrary to rumor NR listing does not dictate
what an owner can do with his historic building. |
