<br /> 4 The National Register Criteria for Evaluation
<br /> 5
<br /> 6 The following criteria are designed to guide the states, federal agencies, and the Secretary of the
<br /> 7 Interior in evaluating potential entries for the National Register.
<br /> 8
<br /> 9 The quality of significance in American history, architecture, archaeology, and culture is present in
<br /> 10 districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that possess integrity of location, design, setting,
<br /> 11 materials, workmanship, feeling, and association, and:
<br /> 12 A. that are associated with events that have made significant contribution to the broad
<br /> 13 patterns of our history; or
<br /> 14 B. that area associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; or
<br /> 15 C. that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or
<br /> 16 that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic vafues, or that represent
<br /> 1'7 a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction;
<br /> 18 or
<br /> 19 D. that have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.
<br /> 20
<br /> 21 Criteria Considerations(Exceptions):Ordinarily cemeteries, birthplaces, or graves of historical
<br /> 22 figures, properties owned by religious institutions or used for religious purposes, structures that have
<br /> 23 been moved from their original locations, reconstructed historic buildings, properties primarily
<br /> 24 commemorative in nature, and properties that have achieved significance within the past 50 years
<br /> 25 shal! not be considered eligible for the National Register. However, such propertie�v✓ill qualify if th��y
<br /> 26 are integral parts of districts that do meet the criteria of if they fall within the following categories:
<br /> 27
<br /> 28 A. a religious property deriving primary significance from architectural or artistic distinction or
<br /> 29 historical importance; or ,
<br /> 30 B. a building or structure removed from its original location but which is significant primarily
<br /> 31 for architectural value, or which is the surviving structure most importantly associated with
<br /> 32 a historic person or event; or
<br /> 33 C. a birthplace or grave of a historical figure of outstanding importance if there is no other
<br /> 34 appropriate site or building directly associated with his or her productive life; or
<br /> 35 D. a cemetery that derives its primary significance from graves of persons of transcendent
<br /> 36 importance, from age, from distinctive design features, or from association with historic
<br /> 37 events; or
<br /> 38 E. a reconstructed building when accurately executed in a suitable environment and
<br /> 39 presented in a dignified manner as part of a restoration master plan, and when no other
<br /> 40 building or structure with the same association has survived; or
<br /> 41 F. a property primarily commemorative in intent if design, age, tradition, or symbolic value
<br /> 42 has invested it with its own historical significance; or
<br /> 43 G. a property achieving significance within the past 50 years if it is of exceptional importance.
<br /> 44
<br /> 45
<br /> 46 Applying the Criteria
<br /> 47 The two principal issues to consider in determining eligibility for the National Register are
<br /> 48 "significance"and"integrity."
<br /> 49
<br /> 50 A property may have "significance"for association with important events or patterns of history
<br /> 51 (criterion A);for association with an important historical figure (criterion 8);as an important example of
<br /> 52 period architecture, landscape, or engineering(criterion C); or for the information it is likely to yield
<br /> 53 (criterion D, applied to archaeological sites and districts, and sometimes applied to certain types of
<br /> 54 structures). A National Register nomination must demonstrate how a property is significant in at feast
<br /> 55 one of these four areas. For properties nominated under criterion A, frequently cited areas of
<br /> 56 significance are agriculture, community planning and development, social history, commerce, industry,
<br /> 57 politics and government, education, recreation and culture, and others. For technical reasons,
<br /> 58 criterion 8(significant person) nominations are rare. Criferion C(architecture) is cited for most, but not
<br /> 59 alJ, nominations of historic buildings. Archaeological sites are always nominated under criterion D, but
<br /> 60 may also have significance under one or more of the other three criteria.
