25 National Register Fact Sheet 4,Page 2 • Between 1976 and 1993, 803 National Register properties in North Carolina were rehabilitated under federal historic preservation tax incentive programs, representing an investment of over $286,000,000 in National Register properties in the state. • The Restoration Branch of the State Historic Preservation Office offers technical restoration consultation services to owners of historic properties, including municipal and county governments, churches, businesses, and private property owners. Restoration Branch staff provides consultation services to more than 1,500 historic properties in a typical year. Restoration staff is located in Raleigh (919/733-6547), Asheville (704/274-6789), and Greenville (919/830-6580). • Since the mid-1970s three-fifths of North Carolina's 100 counties and scores of municipalities have participated in survey and planning grant projects co-sponsored with the State Historic Preservation Office to conduct comprehensive surveys of historic properties and prepare nominations of properties and districts to the National Register of Historic Places. Many other counties have participated in regional reconnaissance surveys. The Survey and Planning Branch maintains an estimated 65,000 survey files with photographs and information about historic structures. The Office of State Archaeology maintains information concerning the approximately 25,000 prehistoric and historic archaeological sites recorded in the state. Thirty-seven counties and twenty- five municipalities have published historic architecture survey catalogues, many of which are still in print and available for purchase from the State Historic Preservation Office.
