Cameron <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> RE: Oaks Rural Historic District, Bingham Township, Orange County <br /> Cedar Grove Historic District, Cedar Grove Township, Orange County <br /> Dear Mr. Carey: <br /> In 1992-1993, the County of Orange sponsored a comprehensive survey of his- <br /> tonic sites, buildings, and districts in Orange County. The field work for <br /> the survey was conducted by Todd Peck and Jody Carter, and was undertaken in <br /> cooperation with the State Historic Preservation Office of the North Carolina <br /> Division of Archives and History. One of the objectives of a historic sites <br /> survey is to identify those properties and districts that appear to be <br /> eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, the nation's honor roll <br /> of historic properties. <br /> On July 8, 1993, Mr. Peck and Ms. Carter presented the results of their survey <br /> to the North Carolina National Register Advisory Committee (NRAC) at its <br /> quarterly meeting in Raleigh. The NRAC is a board of professionals and <br /> citizens with expertise in history, architectural history, and archaeology, <br /> and advises me on the eligibility of properties for the National Register. <br /> This letter is to notify you that the above-referenced districts were among 21 <br /> individual properties and 2 historic districts in Orange County approved by <br /> the NRAC on July 8 for addition to the Study List for the National Register of <br /> Historic Places. Placement on the Study List means that the Committee <br /> determined that the district appears to be eligible for nomination to the <br /> National Register. <br /> Please note that placement on the Study List does not mean automatic nomina- <br /> tion to the National Register of Historic Places. It means only that the dis- <br /> trict appears to be eligible for listing in the Register and warrants further <br /> study of its history and significance. Study List designation places no obli- <br /> gations or restrictions on the local government or property owners. - Also, <br /> please note that a district may not be nominated to the National Register over <br /> the objections of a majority of private owners of property within the proposed <br /> district.
