Mission: As the Nation's principal conservation agency, the Department of
the Interior has responsibility for most of our nationally-owned public lands
and natural and cultural resources. This includes fostering wise use of our
land and water resources, protecting our fish and wildlife, preserving the
environmental and cultural values of our national parks and historical places,
and providing for the enjoyment of life through outdoor recreation. The De-
partment also promotes the goals of the Take Pride in America campaign by
encouraging stewardship and citizen responsibility for the public lands and
promoting citizen participation in their care. The Department also has a major
responsibility for American Indian reservation communitites and for people
who live in Island Territories under U.S. Administration.

(Top Left) The Inscription Hill Site, part of Los Robles Archeological District, was documented as part of the multiple property submission,
I lohokam Platform Mound Communities of trie Lower Santa Cruz River Basin, ca. A. P. 1050-1450 in Arizona. The Multiple Property Docu-
mentation Form presents a comprehensive discussion of the I lohokam Classic period when large, earthen mounds were constructed and served as
a community center, and settlement patterns were characterized by mounds and associated villages, agricultural fields, and resource processing
camps. (Arizona State Museum)

(Top Right) Constructed 1889-1891, the Washington County Courthouse was nominated to the National Register of Historic Places as part of
the County Courthouses of Nebraska multiple property submission. The Washington County Courthouse was cited as an excellent example of a
"County Capitol" property type, which represented the mature form of a county courthouse of the late 19th century. It displayed "appropriate
symbolism and suitable form and function [that] came together fully for the first time." (Barbara Beving Long)

(Bottom Left) The John Peace, Jr. House in Wilton, North Carolina, was documented as part of the multiple property submission, Historic and
Architectural Resources of Cranville County. Constructed ca. 1801, the house is significant as one of Granville County's "oldest and most un-
usually fashioned properties." The house shape, plan, finish, and chimney are reminiscent of architecture in the eastern Tidewater area rather
than the Northern Piedmont area where it is located. (Marvin A. Brown)

(Bottom Right) The 1940 rustic kitchen shelter was included in the National Register of Historic Places nomination of Flandrau State Parkas
part of the multiple property submission, Minnesota State Park CCC/WPA/Rustic Historic Resources. Located near New Ulm, Brown County,
Minnesota, the Flandrau State Park is significant for its development during the Great Depression by the Civilian Conservation Corps and the
ss Administration and for its association with the development of the State park system in Minnesota. (RolfT. Anderson)

PREFACE

The National Register of Historic
Places is the official Federal list of dis-
tricts, sites, buildings, structures, and
objects significant in American his-
tory, architecture, archeology, engi-
neering, and culture. These contrib-
ute to an understanding of the histori-
cal and cultural foundations of the
Nation. The National Register in-
cludes:

• All prehistoric and historic units
of the National Park System;

• National Historic Landmarks,
which are properties recognized
by the Secretary of the Interior as
possessing national significance;
and

• Properties significant in Ameri-
can, State, or local prehistory and
history that have been nominated
by State Historic Preservation Of-
ficers, Federal agencies, and oth-
ers, and have been approved for

listing by the National Park Ser-
vice.

By Federal law, National Register
listing assists in preserving historic
properties in several ways:

• Recognition and appreciation of
historic properties and their im-
portance,

• Consideration in planning Fed-
eral and Federally assisted pro-
jects,

• Making property owners eligible
for Federal tax benefits,

• Consideration in decisions to
issue surface coal mining permits,
and

• Qualifying preservation projects
for Federal grant assistance .

The Historic Sites Act of 1935 (Pub-
lic Law 74-292) established the Na-
tional Historic Landmark Survey.
The National Historic Preservation

Act of 1966 (Public Law 89-665) au-
thorized the National Register of His-
toric Places, expanding Federal recog-
nition to historic properties of local
and State significance. The National
Park Service in the U.S. Department
of the Interior administers both pro-
grams. Regulations for these pro-
grams are contained in 36 CFR Part
60, National Register of Historic
Places, and 36 CFR Part 65, National
Historic Landmarks Program.

The National Historic Preservation
Act authorizes State Historic Preser-
vation Officers (SHPOs) in each State
and Territory of the United States to
nominate properties to the National
Register of Historic Places and to
carry out other preservation activi-
ties. Federal Preservation Officers
(FPOs) have been designated in Fed-
eral agencies to nominate Federal
properties and to fulfill other respon-
sibilities of the Act.

I. THE NATIONAL
REGISTER CRITERIA FOR
EVALUATION

National Register criteria define,
for the Nation as a whole, the scope
and nature of historic and archeologi-
cal properties that are to be consid-
ered eligible for listing in the Na-
tional Register of Historic Places.

CRITERIA FOR
EVALUATION

The quality of significance in Amer-
ican history, architecture, archeology,
engineering, and culture is present in
districts, sites, buildings, structures,
and objects that possess integrity of
location, design, setting, materials,
workmanship, feeling, and associa-
tion and:

a. That are associated with events
that have made a significant
contribution to the broad pat-
terns of our history; or

b. That are associated with the lives
of persons significant in our
past; or

c. That embody the distinctive char-
acteristics of a type, period , or
method of construction, or that
represent the work of a master,
or that possess high artistic val-
ues, or that represent a signifi-
cant and distinguishable entity

whose components may lack in-
dividual distinction; or

d. That have yielded, or may be
likely to yield, information im-
portant in prehistory or history.

CRITERIA
CONSIDERATIONS

Ordinarily cemeteries, birthplaces,
or graves of historical figures, proper-
ties owned by religious institutions
or used for religious purposes, struc-
tures that have been moved from
their original locations, reconstructed
historic buildings, properties primar-
ily commemorative in nature, and
properties that have achieved signifi-
cance within the past 50 years shall
not be considered eligible for the Na-
tional Register. However, such prop-
erties will qualify if they are integral
parts of districts that do meet the cri-
teria or if they fall within the follow-
ing categories:

a. A religious property deriving pri-
mary significance from architec-
tural or artistic distinction or
historical importance; or

b. A building or structure removed
from its original location but
which is significant primarily
for architectural value, or which

is the surviving structure most
importantly associated with a
historic person or event; or

c. A birthplace or grave of a histori-
cal figure of outstanding impor-
tance if there is no other
appropriate site or building di-
rectly associated with his pro-
ductive life ; or

d. A cemetery that derives its pri-
mary significance from graves
of persons of transcendent im-
portance, from age, from dis-
tinctive design features, or from
association with historic events;
or

e. A reconstructed building when
accurately executed in a suit-
able environment and pre-
sented in a dignified manner as
part of a restoration master
plan, and when no other build-
ing or structure with the same
association has survived; or

f. A property primarily commemo-
rative in intent if design, age,
tradition, or symbolic value has
invested it with its own histori-
cal significance; or

g. A property achieving signifi-
cance within the past 50 years if
it is of exceptional importance.

II: INTRODUCTION

The National Register of Historic
Places Multiple Property Documenta-
tion Form (NPS 10-900-b) nominates
groups of related significant proper-
ties. On it, the themes, trends, and
patterns of history shared by the
properties are organized into historic
contexts and the property types that
represent those historic contexts are
defined.

The Multiple Property Documenta-
tion Form is a cover document and
not a nomination in its own right, but
serves as a basis for evaluating the
National Register eligibility of related
properties. It may be used to nomi-
nate and register thematically-related
historic properties simultaneously or
to establish the registration require-
ments for properties that may be
nominated in the future. The nomi-
nation of each building, site, district,
structure, or object within a thematic
group is made on the National Regis-
ter Registration Form (NPS 10-900).
The name of the thematic group, de-
noting the historical framework of
nominated properties, is the multiple
property listing. When nominated
and listed in the National Register of
Historic Places, the Multiple Property
Documentation Form, together with
individual registration forms, consti-
tute a multiple property submission.

The Multiple Property Documenta-
tion Form streamlines the method of
organizing information collected in
surveys and research for registration
and preservation planning purposes.
The form facilitates the evaluation of
individual properties by comparing
them with resources that share sim-
ilar physical characteristics and his-
torical associations. Information com-
mon to the group of properties is pre-
sented in the Multiple Property Docu-
mentation Form, while information
specific to each individual building,
site, district, structure, or object is
placed on an individual registration
form. As a management tool, the the-
matic approach can furnish essential
information for historic preservation

planning because it evaluates proper-
ties on a comparative basis within a
given geographical area and because
it can be used to establish preserva-
tion priorities based on historical sig-
nificance.

HOW A MULTIPLE
PROPERTY
SUBMISSION IS
ORGANIZED

The organization of a multiple
property submission has both gen-
eral and specific components. The
multiple property listing is named
for the subject oi the listing. Under
this general heading, one or more his-
toric contexts may be identified. In

the National Register program, his-
toric contexts include three elements:
a historical theme, geographical area,
and chronological period. Historic
contexts describe the impact of vari-
ous historic themes, trends, or pat-
terns on areas as small as part of a
community or as large as the nation.
The property type analysis occupies
the middle ground between the gen-
eral historic context and the individ-
ual property. At the most specific
level, the National Register Registra-
tion Form illustrates how an individ-
ual property or historic district re-
lates to the historic contexts, repre-
sents a property type, and meets reg-
istration requirements for the type.

For examples of multiple property
submissions, see National Register Bul-
letin 35: National Register Casebook: Ex-
amples of Documentation, Historical
and Architectural Resources of Gran-
ville, North Carolina, Case 35-1 and His-
toric Resources ofOakes, North Dakota,
Case 35-2. The National Register staff
may be consulted for information on
multiple property submissions that
may already have been completed de-
fining specific historic contexts. Re-
search on subject areas, such as min-
ing, building types, and maritime re-
sources, may already have been con-
ducted as part of a multiple property
submission and may be applicable to
other localities and states. Instruc-
tions for completing the individual
registration forms are found in Na-
tional Register Bulletin 16 A: How to
Complete the National Register Registra-
tion Form. The Secretary of the
Interior's Standards and Guidelines for
Archeology and Historic Preservation
may be consulted for additional infor-
mation on standards for preservation
planning, identification, evaluation,
and registration. The State Historic

Preservation Officer (SHPO) and Fed-
eral Preservation Officer (FPO) also
may provide information on historic
contexts.

In order to be approved by the
Keeper of the National Register, the
submitted Multiple Property Docu-
mentation Form must include at least
one historic context and one associ-
ated property type discussion. Addi-
tional historic contexts and associ-
ated property types may be submit-
ted at a later date. Individual Na-
tional Register Registration Forms
may accompany the Multiple Prop-
erty Documentation Form, or they
may be submitted later. The origina-
tor of the Multiple Property Docu-
mentation Form may prepare this in-
formation or registration forms, or
Federal or State agencies, private or-
ganizations, or individuals.

The approach taken in organizing
multiple property submissions will
depend upon a number of factors, in-
cluding trie nature and number of the
resources expected to form the the-
matic group and the extent to which
historic contexts and evaluations of
property types have been developed.
Practical considerations, such as staff,
time, amount and source of funding,
availability of information, and exper-
tise, may help determine how many
and which historic contexts and prop-
erty types are treated. Planning con-
cerns, such as development pres-
sures, other threats to historic re-
sources, and planning priorities and
goals, also may strongly influence de-
cisions about the areas looked at and
the historic contexts documented at
any given time.

COMPUTER-
GENERATED FORMS

Computer-generated forms may be
used in place of the National Park
Service forms and continuation
sheets if they meet certain require-
ments. These forms must list in
order all items as they appear on the
National Register forms. They must
also contain the form number and
the OMB approval number appear-
ing in the upper right hand corner of
the form, and be printed with a letter-
quality printer on archivally stable
paper. The National Park Service can
provide a template for the National
Register Multiple Property Documen-
tation Form that can be used with a
variety of personal computers (IBM-
DOS compatible) and word process-
ing software. Applicants should
check with the SHPO or FPO before
using a computer-generated form.

PUBLIC EDUCATION

Although multiple property sub-
missions constitute the most com-
mon use of research and documenta-
tion of historic contexts, the informa-
tion may serve broader public educa-
tion uses. The forms themselves are
of value for public education. The
narrative also may be used in histori-
cal publications, tourist pamphlets,
walking tour notes, and educational
manuals directed at elementary and
secondary school students. The Na-
tional Park Service encourages the
use of information collected for pub-
lic education including the develop-
ment of interpretive programs and
publications.

Ill: COMPLETING THE
MULTIPLE PROPERTY
DOCUMENTATION FORM

The National Register Multiple
Property Documentation Form docu-
ments groups of thematically re-
lated properties. This form defines
and describes one or more historic
contexts, describes associated prop-
erty types related to the historic con-
texts, and establishes significance
and integrity requirements for nomi-
nating properties to the National Reg-
ister.

The following instructions are or-
ganized to correspond to sections of
the Multiple Property Documenta-
tion Form.

Indicate at the top of the form if the
material is a new submission or an
amended submission (see page 26 for
information on amending multiple
property submissions).

A. NAME OF MULTIPLE
PROPERTY LISTING

A. Name of Multiple Property Listing

In the space provided, enter a
name that identifies the thematic
group of properties being docu-
mented. The name should be based
on the broad unifying themes,
trends, or patterns that link proper-
ties within the submission, such as
historic events, significant persons,
architectural styles, archeological
types, physical characteristics, or
other common characteristics to
which the group as a whole relates.
The name also should identify the ge-
ographical area, such as a commu-
nity or county, and cultural affilia-
tion associated with the group. It
may identify a time period as well.

If the listing is related to a small
group of thematically related prop-

erty types dispersed over a broad ge-
ographical area, select names such as
Rural School Buildings in Washington
State or Hopewell Ceremonial, Ritualis-
tic, and Mortuary/Burial Structures in
the Southern Ohio Watersheds. If the
listing covers a variety of historic re-
sources within geographical and tem-
poral limits, a title such as The Indian
Use of the Salt Pond Region between
4000 B.P. and 1750 A.D. may be se-
lected. If a listing is based on a sur-
vey for a specific geographical area, a
general title such as the Historic Re-
sources of Boney fiddle, Ohio, may be ap-
propriate. Depending on the organi-
zation of the thematic group nomina-
tion and the properties it encom-
passes, the name of the multiple

property listing may be the same as
the name of the associated historic
context.

The Orin Porter House was included in a boundary increase for the Hudson Historic District,
nominated as part of the multiple property submission, Historic and Architectural Properties of
Hudson in Summit County, Ohio. The boundary increase was justified on the basis of its associ-
ation with the development of the community's post-Civil War era railroad -based economy. The
owner of this house, Orin Porter, was a significant architect associated with the architectural de-
velopment of this section of the historic district. (Lois Newkirk)

GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR MULTIPLE PROPERTY SUBMISSIONS

• A Multiple Property Documentation Form is a document for recording written statements of historic context
and associated property types, thereby providing a framework for evaluating a thematic group of historic
properties.

• A multiple property submission may be based on one or more historic contexts.

• The contents of a multiple property submission may be organized because:

1 . One or more historic contexts and related property types are represented.

2. Related properties exist or are likely to exist in sufficient numbers to warrant registration in the
multiple property format.

3. The needs of Federal, State, or local preservation planning goals and priorities are addressed.

• A historic context is a body of information about related properties organized by theme, place, and time.

• The theme underlying the historic context may be based on one or several broad areas of significance, or on
more specific events and activities or patterns of physical or cultural development related to one or several
areas of significance.

• The geographical area covered by a historic context is based on the location and extent of properties known
or likely to exist or have existed related to the historic context, such as a community developed as a regional
center of commerce, a river valley having a common pattern of cultural development, or an area across several
states settled by one particular ethnic group.

• The time period covered by a historic context is based on the period of time when the events significant to
the historic context are known to have occurred.

• A multiple property submission may cover any geographical scale — local, regional, State or national — and
need not be the same level as that of the related historic contexts.

• While a multiple property group or a historic context is organized at a specific geographical level, an individ-
ual property may be evaluated at another, often smaller, geographical level. If so, the property's relationship
to its historic context must be considered.

• A property type may relate to one or several historic contexts. The significance of a property type is based
on a knowledge of its respective historic contexts.

• A property type and its related properties may have significance in history, architecture, engineering, archeol-
ogy, or culture, or a combination of these disciplines, and may meet one or more of the National Register cri-
teria.

• Multiple property listings may arise from historic contexts identified in the Federal, State, or local planning
process.

GUIDELINES FOR ORGANIZING A MULTIPLE PROPERTY SUBMISSION BASED ON
A LOCAL SURVEY

Many multiple property submissions arc based on surveys or inventories of historic, architectural, cultural, or
archeological properties, particularly for communities. The following guidelines may be helpful in these cases:

• Through a study of primary and secondary sources, predictive studies, field survey, and other techniques,
compile information about the prehistory and history of the community and the existence of related historic
resources.

• Carefully analyze the information to identify the broad patterns and stages in the area's prehistory or history.
Relate these to the National Register criteria and areas of significance. Consider:

1 . Stages and patterns of area settlement and development, important events, and significant persons.

2. Aesthetic and artistic values embodied in architecture, art, craftsmanship, construction technology, or the
style and work of a master.

3. Research values or problems related to the area's prehistory and history, social and physical sciences and
humanities, and local cultural interests.

• Determine which historic patterns or developments can be studied on a local level, and which need to be stud-
ied in a larger geographical context, such as the State, region, or the nation as a whole. Consider the ways in
which the patterns and stages of local development relate to the historic contexts that have been identified in
the Statewide preservation planning process.

• Define a particular period of time, geographical area, and theme for each major stage or pattern of develop-
ment, identifying a set of historic contexts that can be used to organize information about the history and pre-
history of the locality and its related historic properties.

• Document the locality's history and prehistory in Section E of the multiple property form, using the historic
contexts as the framework for organizing the information.

• The survey identifies various kinds of properties found in the local community or geographical area accord-
ing to each historic context. Group these into property types based on their common physical or associative
characteristics.

• Document each property type in Section F of the multiple property form. Using survey data and other infor-
mation, describe the associative and physical characteristics that define each property type and discuss its sig-
nificance to the historic context. Assess the qualities and condition of existing related properties. Determine
the characteristics or qualities and the degree of historic integrity required for the registration of related prop-
erties in the National Register as a member of the property type.

• Apply the registration requirements to each surveyed property possessing similar physical or associative char-
acteristics. Compare the characteristics, qualities, and degree of integrity required for registration to that of
each property to determine if it qualifies for registration as a member of the property type.

• Document on a National Register Registration Form each property determined to meet the registration re-
quirements. Special instructions for properties submitted as part of a multiple property listing should be fol-
lowed.

• Organize the documentation for all and any combination of the historic contexts and property types and the
forms for each property documented, into one or several multiple property submissions.

B. ASSOCIATED HISTORIC
CONTEXTS

B. Associated Historic Contexts

(Name each associated historic context, identifying theme, geographical area, and chronological period for each )

Enter the name of the historic con-
texts related to the multiple property
submission and used in preparing
the multiple property form. For each
historic context, determine the appro-
priate theme, geographical area, and
chronological period for each context.

Historic contexts may include those
identified in the State historic preser-
vation office comprehensive plan-
ning process. According to the Secre-
tary of the Interior's Standards and
Guidelines for Archeology and Historic
Preservation, historic contexts provide
information about the historical pat-
terns and trends that produced indi-
vidual properties. Historic contexts
serve as the foundation for decisions
about the identification, evaluation,
registration, and treatment of historic
properties. For further explanation
of historic contexts, see discussion in
section E.

Main Street was included in the Gold Hill Historic District, a property nominated to the Na-
tional Register of Historic Places as part of the Metal Mining and Tourist Era Resources of Boul-
der County, Colorado multiple property submission. Dating from the early 1S70s, the Gold Hill
Historic District is considered the most "intact representation of the early mountain communi-
ties that developed as a result of the precious metal mining in Boulder County." (Deborah
Abele)

The 1939 water tower is a contributing building in the National Register of Historic Places
nomination of Lake Bronson State Park in Kittson County, Minnesota. The eligibility of the
park was justified for its association with the Minnesota State Park CCC/W PA/ Rustic Style
Historic Resources multiple property submission. The historic resources of Like Bronson State
Park are significant as "outstanding examples of rustic style split stone construction." (Rolf T.
Anderson)

Date of Action

The State Historic Preservation
Officer (SHPO), Federal Preserva-
tion Officer (FPO), or other Federal
official completes this section to cer-
tify the completeness of the informa-
tion on the multiple property form
and the fulfillment of the procedural
and professional requirements for
submission. The role of the SHPO,
FPO, and other Federal officials, in
each case, depends on several things:
the action being requested, agency
initiating the action, ownership of
property, and requirements in 36
CFR Part 60.

To determine the appropriate certi-
fying official in a particular case,
refer to Appendix VII of National Reg-
ister Bulletin 16 A: How to Complete the
National Register Registration Form.
For a list of SHPOs, FPOs, and Na-
tional Park Service regional offices,

see Appendix IX of the same publica-
tion.

The State or Federal authority signs
the statement and provides the date
and the name of his or her agency or
bureau. Upon approval of the form,
the Keeper of the National Register
will sign and date the form.

Each individual property submit-
ted as part of the multiple property
submission is certified separately on
its respective registration form.

Additional certifying officials
should sign and date a continuation
sheet containing the statement: "As
the designated authority under the
National Historic Preservation Act,
as amended, I hereby certify that this
documentation form meets the Na-
tional Register documentation stan-
dards and sets forth requirements
consistent with the National Register
criteria. This submission meets the

procedural and professional require-
ments set forth in 36 CFR Part 60 and
the Secretary of the Interior's Standards
and Guidelines for Archeology and His-
toric Preservation." Local government
officials, including those in CLGs,
and other persons may express their
opinions in a letter accompanying
the form.

Although only the individual prop-
erties documented for eligibility as
part of the listing will be registered in
the National Register and included in
the National Register Information
System, the multiple property form
will become a permanent part of the
written records of the National Regis-
ter. It is used as a basis for the evalu-
ation of registration forms appended
at the time of the initial submission
and subsequently as additional prop-
erties are submitted.

E. STATEMENT OF HISTORIC
CONTEXTS

Statement of Historic Contexts

(If more than one historic context is documented, present them in sequential order )

Provide a written narrative of the
historic contexts related to the multi-
ple property submission. To qualify
for listing in the National Register of
Historic Places , a property must be
significant; that is, it must represent a
significant historic context in the his-
tory, architecture, archeology, engi-
neering, or culture of an area, and it
must have the characteristics that
make it a good representative of
properties associated with that con-
text. Historic contexts are those pat-
terns or trends in history by which a
specific occurrence, property, or site
is understood and its meaning (and
ultimately its significance) within pre-
history or history is made clear.

Historians, architectural historians,
folklorists, archeologists, and anthro-
pologists use different words to de-
scribe this phenomena such as trend,
pattern, theme, or cultural affiliation,
but the concept is the same. The con-
cept of historic context is not a new
one; it has been fundamental to the
study of history since the 18th cen-
tury and, arguably, earlier than that.
Its core premise is that resources,
properties, or happenings in history
do not occur in a vacuum but rather
are part of larger trends or patterns.

For the multiple property submis-
sion, the statement of historic context
is a written narrative that describes
the unifying thematic framework.
The historic context statement must
be developed in sufficient depth to
support the relevance, the relation-
ships, and the importance of the
properties to be considered. For the
purposes of the National Register
program, the statement of historic
contexts requires a consistent frame-
work: theme, geographical area, and
chronological period. This organiza-
tion provicies for a standardized
means of describing and explaining

the significance of a wide variety of
properties.

Depending on the nature of the his-
toric properties and the informed
judgment of the nomination pre-
parer, the historic context may repre-
sent any one of a range of historical
frames of reference. There are many
ways in which to look at historic
properties and thus many ways of
documenting contexts. The ap-
proach should be determined by the
purpose or need for evaluating and
managing historic properties.

If there is a need to know more
about particular kinds of resources, a
thematic approach may be called for.
Historic context may emphasize eco-
nomic, social, and political forces,
such as certain industries, arts, litera-
ture, and military subjects. A historic
context may be associated with the
lite of a person or groups of persons
that influenced the destiny and char-
acter of a region. Architectural
styles, building and structural types,
and building materials and methods
of construction also may serve as the
organizing device for the historic con-
text. Care should be taken not to de-
fine the context too narrowly so as to
limit its applicability to preservation
decision making. For example, a his-
toric context covering three-story
apartment houses will be far less use-
ful than one defined by the general
apartment house building type. Or,
a historic context may be based on a
research topic or archcological site
type that will expand existing knowl-
edge of an area's development, past
cultural affiliation, and human activi-
ties and interaction.

If there is a need to know more
about properties in a particular area,
such as when a Certified Local Gov-
ernment wishes to survey and inven-
tory the resources within its jurisdic-
tion, then a geographically-based ap-

proach would be appropriate. A geo-
graphically-based historic context
may be at the scale of a community,
town, city, county, State, region, na-
tion, or physiographic area and may
treat all or some of the themes and
periods in a given area. A manage-
ment unit, such as a park, public for-
est, or transportation system, also
may be a geographically-based his-
toric context. For such historic con-
texts, prehistory and history prior to
the establishment of the management
unit should take into account pat-
terns and trends beyond the modern
boundaries. For geographically-
based historic contexts, the following
may be addressed: the developmen-
tal phases in the area's history; the
economic, social, and political forces
that affected the area's physical form,
and factors that gave the community
or area its own distinct character sep-
arate from that of like or other settle-
ments.

If there is a need to know more
about the properties of a particular
period in history, a chronologically-
based approach is called for. Such
historic contexts may focus on a pre-
historic period, such as a historic con-
text devoted to prehistoric hunters
and gatherers ca. 10,000-200 B.P.
They also may focus on historical pe-
riods, such as the post-Civil War era,
the Great Depression, or early settle-
ment.

The discussion of historic context
should introduce a definition of the
property type, its locational patterns,
and general characteristics. These
topics are defined in greater detail in
section F.

If more than one historic context is
documented, they should be pre-
sented in sequential order. Nor-
mally, the historic contexts discus-
sion stands as a discrete narrative sec-
tion, followed by the discussion of

GUIDELINES FOR DOCUMENTING A HISTORIC
CONTEXT

The Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Archeology and
Historic Preservation offer the following steps for documenting a historic
context:

• Identify the concept (or theme), chronological period, and geographi-
cal area for the historic context.

• Assemble information about the historic context:

1 . Collect information about the prehistory or history of the geograph-
ical area encompassed by the historic context, including informa-
tion about properties that have already been identified. Identify
groups of properties that may have important roles in defining
historic contexts and values.

2. Assess information to identify bias in historic perspective, method-
ological approach, or area of coverage.

• Synthesize information. Prepare a written narrative of the historic
context, providing a detailed synthesis of the data collected and ana-
lyzed. Important patterns, events, persons, architectural types and
styles, or cultural values should be identified. Consider:

1 . Trends in area settlement and development;

2. Aesthetic and artistic values embodied in architecture, construc-
tion, technology, or craftsmanship, and

3. Research values.

• Define property types.

1 . Identify property types that have relevance and importance in illus-
trating the historic context. Determine how the National Register
criteria would apply to examples of each on the basis of the impor-
tant patterns, events, persons, and cultural values discussed in the
written narrative of historic context. Also, outline and justify the
specific physical and associative characteristics and quality of his-
toric integrity that an individual property must possess to be eligi-
ble for listing as a member of the property type.

2. Characterize the locational patterns of property types, that is, gener-
alize about where particular types of property are likely to be
found.

3. Characterize the current condition of known properties relating to
each property type.

property types. Depending on the
nature of the historic properties, how-
ever, it may be advantageous to pres-
ent each historic context followed by
its corresponding property type be-
fore proceeding to the next historic
context. The National Park Service
will accept either approach to the
order of these sections, provided that
the requested information is included
and clearly labelled.

BACKGROUND
INFORMATION FOR
HISTORIC
CONTEXTS

Background information for his-
toric contexts may include facts
about:

• Prehistoric cultural occupations.

• Exploration and settlement.

• The social and cultural environ-
ment.

• The natural character of the area,
including waterways, natural fea-
tures, natural resources, climate,
terrain, soil conditions, and its re-
lationship to manmade develop-
ment.

• Development of transportation
routes, commerce, industry, immi-
gration, and settlement patterns,
and the development /establish-
ment of communities/towns and
government .

• Historic patterns and stages of
community or regional growth.

• Contemporary manmade charac-
ter of the area, including popula-
tion density, patterns of land use,
nature of physical development,
and general condition of cultural
resources.

HISTORIC
CONTEXTS
RELATED TO
HISTORIC OR
PREHISTORIC
TRENDS AND
PATTERNS

For historic contexts related to his-
toric or prehistoric trends and pat-
terns of development such as com-
merce, industry, settlement, educa-
tion, transportation, communication,
etc., discuss:

• The historical development char-
acterizing the theme or themes on
which the historic contexts are
based, including major stages of
growth, pivotal events, signifi-
cant ethnic or personal associa-
tions, and political or legislative
decisions.

• Principal dates, events, activities,
persons, associations, and devel-
opmental forces related to the
contexts.

• The relationship of cultural and
environmental influences such as
transportation, immigration, poli-
tics, commerce, industry, technol-
ogy, communications, access to
natural resources, climatic and
soil conditions, and topography
to the course of events related to
the historic contexts.

HISTORIC
CONTEXTS
RELATED TO AN
INDIVIDUAL OR
GROUP OF
INDIVIDUALS

For historic contexts related to the
life of an individual or a group of in-
dividuals, discuss:

• The major achievements of the in-
dividual or individuals.

• How the achievements or career
influenced life in the locality, re-
gion, State, or nation.

• The role of the individual or
group in spreading a distinctive
culture, religion, or philosophy
throughout a geographical area.

• The entirety of the individual's or
group's career and its reflection
in the historic properties.

HISTORIC

CONTEXTS

RELATED TO ART,

ARCHITECTURE,

ENGINEERING,

AND LANDSCAPE

ARCHITECTURE

For historic contexts related to art,
architecture, engineering, and land-
scape architecture, discuss:

• Principal types, styles, time peri-
ods, and methods of construction
on which the theme or themes un-
derlying the historic contexts are
based.

• Principal architects, landscape ar-
chitects, artists, builders, crafts-
men, or designers identified with
the historic contexts; if related to
the work of one or a small group
of artisans, the evolution and dis-
tinguishing features of their work.

• The impact of architectural char-
acteristics, such as scale, propor-
tions, materials, workmanship,
stylistic details, spatial arrange-
ments, construction techniques,
and aesthetic quality on the over-
all architectural character of a par-
ticular geographical area or
period of time.

• The relationship of cultural influ-
ences such as immigration,
settlement, commerce, transporta-
tion, communications, develop-
ments in technology, and
industrial developments to the de-
velopment of style, type, and
method of construction.

• The relationship of environmen-
tal influences such as climate, nat-
ural features, soil conditions, and
presence of natural resources to
the development of style, type, or
method of construction.

HISTORIC
CONTEXTS
RELATED TO
PREHISTORIC AND
HISTORICAL
ARCHEOLOGY

For historic contexts related to pre-
historic and historical archeology,
discuss:

• Types of archeological properties,
including periods of time, related
research topics, cultural affilia-
tions, general physical characteris-
tics, and probable kinds of
important research data repre-
sented by the historic contexts.

• Results of archeological, ethno-
graphic, or historic research al-
ready conducted or otherwise
pertinent to an understanding of
the historic contexts and related
property types.

• Important categories of informa-
tion known or believed to exist
relative to the historic contexts.

• Cultural and environmental influ-
ences that determined the loca-
tion, distribution, and quality of
sites or resources historically, and
that have affected the potential of
existing sites and resources to
yield important information.

• Research value and other uses of
information and information cate-
gories likely to be yielded by a
study of related property types.

F. ASSOCIATED PROPERTY TYPES

Associated Property Types

(Provide description, significance, and registration requirements.)

For each property type, provide
the name, description, statement of
significance, and registration re-
quirements for National Register list-
ing. The property type description
and statement of significance need
not be lengthy if the information is al-
ready discussed in section E, but it
should be summarized.

Property type ties the historic con-
text to specific historic properties, so
that National Register eligibility can
be assessed. A property type is a
grouping of individual properties
characterized by common physical
and /or associative attributes. Physi-
cal attributes include style, structural
type, size, scale, proportions, design,
architectural details, method of con-
struction, orientation, spatial arrange-
ment or plan, materials, workman-
ship, artistry, and environmental rela-
tionships. Care should be taken not
to define property types too nar-
rowly — according to a localized ar-
chitectural feature, size , scale, fea-
ture, proportions, etc. Associative at-
tributes include the property's rela-
tionship to important persons, activi-
ties, and events, based on informa-
tion such as dates, functions, cultural
affiliations, and relationship to impor-
tant research topics.

Discuss the specific characteristics
qualifying or disqualifying specific
properties for listing. These charac-
teristics may include physical or asso-
ciative attributes or relate to integrity
considerations. For purposes of dis-
cussion and analysis, it may be useful
to divide some property types into
subtypes. For example, in the Metal
Mining and Tourist Era Resources of
Boulder County, Colorado multiple
property listing, the property type
vernacular domestic dwelling is divided
into the subtypes: pioneer log, ver-
nacular wood frame, and vernacular
Victorian.

Property type analysis is a tool for
evaluating related properties. The
conclusion of this analysis is the regis-
tration requirements. The analysis

also is useful for assessing variations
within a particular property type. If
subtypes are identified, registration
requirements may be divided be-
tween the general qualifications for
members of the types and more spe-
cific features of the subtypes. The
analysis of subtypes will be more de-
tailed, and therefore, more useful for
the evaluation of identified proper-
ties. Property type analysis is not
necessary on this form for unique or
rare resources because the informa-
tion can appear on the registration
form within the multiple property
submission.

A property type may include a vari-
ety of buildings and structures with
diverse physical characteristics or
may be based on distinguishable
structural types or functions. Rail-
road-Era Construction in Watrous
could include commercial, industrial,
civic, and residential buildings of the
period as well as structures directly
associated with the railroad. The
property type, effigy mounds is lim-
ited to a specific archeological site
type. Round barn is based on architec-
tural form, whereas dairy farms and fa-
cilities is based on function and associ-
ation with a specific agricultural ac-
tivity.

PROPERTY TYPE
DESCRIPTION

In concise narrative form, describe
the physical characteristics and asso-
ciative qualities that define each
property type. Descriptions should
discuss a combination of physical
and associative characteristics. Physi-
cal or associative characteristics may
be emphasized depending on the sig-
nificance of the property type. Prop-
erty types significant under Criteria
A and B, for historical associations,
will likely emphasize associative
characteristics, whereas those under
Criterion C will likely emphasize

physical characteristics. Criterion D
may emphasize associations with
events, trends, or individuals; repre-
sentatives of a group, or physical
characteristics.
Consider:

• Physical characteristics such as
style, period, site or structural
type, size, scale, proportions, de-
sign, architectural details, method
of construction, siting, orienta-
tion, spatial arrangement or plan,
materials, workmanship, artistry,
and environmental relationships.

• Associative characteristics such
as the property's relationship to
important activities, persons, or
events, including information
such as dates, functions, role, cul-
tural affiliations, relationship to
important research topics, and
the presence of natural features
or resources that helped deter-
mine location.

• Geographical information such as
the property's relationship to nat-
ural resources, climate, topo-
graphical features, and soil
conditions that may have been re-
lied upon for industry, transporta-
tion, defense, or subsistence, or
that helped determine the siting,
location, form, design, function,
and materials of associated cul-
tural resources.

• The likely nature of boundaries
for related properties and any spe-
cial factors to be considered in se-
lecting boundaries, such as the
likelihood of the resource to exist
in groups or in combination with
other significant property types
forming historic districts.

• Variations occurring within the
property type due to changing
cultural, chronological, or geo-
graphical influences.

GUIDELINES FOR SELECTING PROPERTY TYPES

In selecting property types, consider the following:

• Form, function, associations, events, or physical characteristics should
be considered in selecting and determining the name of a property
type.

• The selection should be based on a knowledge of the relevant historic
contexts, and then on whether or not the type is a manageable and ef-
ficient tool for evaluating eligibility for National Register listing.

• Property types may be defined to include resources that are associ-
ated with the general growth or prosperity influenced by the theme
and that are not directly resultant from the predominant theme of the
context.

• A property type may consist of one or more related structural types.
The property type, Carnegie libraries in Iowa, would only include li-
brary buildings, whereas, railroad-era buildings and structures in

Wat rous could include commercial buildings, public buildings, resi-
dences, bridges, storage sheds, as well as railroad stations and freight-
houses.

• The fullest extent of the significant historic values of a group of re-
lated resources should be considered. For example, discussion of a
round barn as a property type may concentrate on the resource's inher-
ent architectural values while dairy farms and facilities recognizes a
broader spectrum of significant and interrelated architectural and his-
torical values.

• A property type may include buildings, sites, structures, objects, his-
toric districts, or any combination of these resources.

• Historic districts may be a separate property type or may be included
within a property type that combines it with other resources such as
buildings and sites.

• A property type may relate to one or more of the National Register
criteria.

• Base property types related to Criterion A on properties relating to an
event or chain of events important in illustrating the historic context.

• Base property types related to Criterion B on known properties associ-
ated with the productive life of a person important in the historic con-
text.

• Base property types related to Criterion C on one or a group of the fol-
lowing:

1 . Properties having common architectural style, period, or method of
construction.

2. The works of a master or related groups of masters.

3. Properties having common high artistic values.

4. Significant architectural features distinguishing one or more groups
of buildings or structures.

• Base property types related to Criterion D on one or a group of re-
sources that are likely to yield important information about a com-
mon set of research questions important to the historic context.

• Locational patterns of the prop-
erty type, that is generalizations
about the known or likely loca-
tion, occurrence, and distribution
of examples representing the
property type.

• Condition or expected condition
of property types including:

1 . Any inherent characteristics
that are likely to contribute to
or detract from its physical
condition.

2. Any aspects of the social and
natural environment that may
affect its preservation or visi-
bility.

• Specific period of time and loca-
tions in which related properties
are believed or known to have ex-
isted.

PROPERTY TYPE
SIGNIFICANCE

In narrative form, state the signifi-
cance of the property type as it re-
lates to each historic context listed in
section B. The narrative should be a
concise and factual summary of infor-
mation directly relating the property
type to:

• Important aspects of its historic
context.

• The various areas of significance
and criteria for which properties
may be listed in the National Reg-
ister.

• Significance in national, State, or
local history.

Consider the following when dis-
cussing the significance of property
types under Criteria A and B:

• Important dates, events, activi-
ties, persons, associations, and de-
velopmental forces, trends, and
patterns relating the property
type to its relevant historic con-
text.

• Any direct relationship of the
property type to major stages of
growth, pivotal events or activi-
ties, or personal associations char-
acterizing the historic context.

Tte 1898 Birmingham Bridge was nominated to the National Register of Historic Places as
part of the Industrial Resources of Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania multiple property sub-
mission. Located in Birmingham, it is significant as "a fine example of one of the county's less
than ten remaining pin-connected Pratt through truss bridges built in the late 1800s." (Nancy
Shedd )

For properties significant under Cri-
terion C, summarize the following:

• Principal types, styles, and meth-
ods of construction illustrated by
the property type and how these
relate to the overall historic con-
text.

• Principal architects, artists, build-
ers, craftsmen, designers , or land-
scape architects identified with
the introduction and develop-
ment of the property type.

• Architectural characteristics, such
as scale, proportions, materials,
workmanship, stylistic details,
spatial arrangement, construction
techniques, and aesthetic quality,
that give examples of the prop-
erty type their significance.

• Spatial relationships of resources
to each other and the environ-
ment, including set backs, street
plans, parks, squares, open
spaces, structural density, plant-
ings, natural features, and land-
scape architecture, if these are

significant unifying features of
the property type.

For property types significant
under Criterion D, discuss the follow-
ing:

• Related research topics, cultural
affiliations, general physical char-
acteristics, and probable kinds of
important research data that link
the property type to its historic
context.

• Archeological, ethnographic, or
historic research already con-
ducted or otherwise pertinent to
an understanding of the property
type.

• Important categories of informa-
tion and related research topics
about which properties related to
the property type are likely to
yield information.

For property types meeting Cri-
teria Considerations, including prop-
erties less than 50 years old, religious
properties, reconstructed and moved

properties, commemorative proper-
ties, cemeteries and graves, or birth-
places, explain how these properties
as a group meet the special require-
ments for listing called for in the Na-
tional Register criteria considera-
tions. (See National Register Bulletin
15: How to Apply the National Register
Criteria for Evaluation for advice on
criteria considerations.)

PROPERTY TYPE
REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS

State the registration requirements
based on the analysis of the data col-
lected on the property type and
known related properties in relation-
ship to the National Register criteria,
criteria considerations, and areas of
significance. The requirements
should provide specific information
that can be used for comparing actual
historic properties and for making
judgments about their relative signifi-
cance. Registration requirements in-
volve not just integrity, but how well
a specific property illustrates the
property type and how it relates to
the historic context.

Include the following in a discus-
sion of registration requirements: the
physical characteristics, associative
qualities, or information potential
that an example of the property type
must possess to qualify for the Na-
tional Register. This section should
specify the aspects of integrity (loca-
tion, design, setting, materials, work-
manship, feeling, and association)
and an explanation of how each as-
pect is defined for the specific prop-
erty type. Base integrity require-
ments on an analysis of the property
type and its significant features and a
knowledge of representative proper-
ties and their relative integrity.

This section is intended to provide
information on the unifying charac-
teristics of the property type. Infor-
mation common to the properties is
placed in this section so that it need
not be repeated in each individual
National Register nomination.

EXAMPLES OF REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS

Name of property type: BRIGHT LEAF ERA FARMHOUSES AND TENANT HOUSES.

(The example is from the Historic and Architectural Resources of Granville County multiple property submission prepared
by the North Carolina State historic preservation office and emphasizes rural qualities and features as key registration re-
quirements.)

Basically traditional structures — the largest group of traditional structures in the county with the possible excep-
tion of outbuildings — the surviving bright leaf era rural dwellings will usually meet registration requirements be-
cause of their traditional forms, floor plans and materials. Stylistic concerns are limited, though some larger farm-
houses will meet registration requirements because they display a significant number of Italianate, Victorian, Colo-
nial Revival or bungalow style features. In general, to qualify for registration, the dwellings should retain a rural
setting and the forms, floor plans or materials that evoke their period of construction and the rural life of the time.
More numerous than their predecessors, they should also retain a significant degree of stylistic integrity, where a
style is present. The integrity of their association and feeling is greatly bolstered by the presence of contemporary
outbuildings or later outbuildings that display forms and functions similar to their predecessors, particularly out-
buildings associated with the raising of Bright Leaf tobacco.

Name of property type: RESOURCES ASSOCIATED WITH TRANSPORTATION.

(The example is from the Industrial Resources of Huntingdon County multiple property submission prepared by the Penn-
sylvania State historic preservation office and emphasizes function and design completeness as key registration require-
ments.)

In order to qualify for listing, the transportation resources must have been used by the transportation industry
or by another industry for the transportation of county produced goods or the transportation of raw materials and
people. The properties must be intact examples of one of the identified subtypes: road resources, canal resources
or railroad resources. Many bridges associated with roads or railroads have been maintained or replaced in situ
before 1939 and are currently in use. Except where specified eligible transportation resources must have integrity
of location, design, setting, materials and association.

Subtype: road resources Road bridges are eligible under Criterion A in the area of transportation if they
served as important links in the local road network and in the transportation of goods, raw materials, or people
within the county. The historic materials, form and setting of the bridge must be intact.

In order to be eligible under Criterion C in the area of engineering a bridge must be an example of a bridge de-
sign that was important in the construction of bridges in Huntingdon County. Those properties eligible for engi-
neering significance should be considered even if alterations to form and materials exist so long as the
significant engineering design is prominent and intact.

Subtype: canal resources The remains of canal right-of-way or structural components must be visually evi-
dent and any disturbance that may have occurred must not have compromised the potential for the site to yield
information relevant to the historic use or engineering of the site. Canal resources must retain integrity of loca-
tion, design, materials and association. Canal resources eligible under Criterion A must be associated with an
important transportation route or industry in the county such as the Pennsylvania Canal. A portion of a canal
right-of-way must retain the visual appearance of an earthen ditch in order to be considered for eligibility under
Criterion A. For the same criterion, enough of the stone walls of a lock or dam must stand to represent the origi-
nal function of the feature. Long planking which may have been associated with a canal resource need not re-
main in order for the resource to be considered for listing.

The abandonment of the canal has resulted in the natural deterioration of the individual components. In
order to be eligible under Criterion D, a canal resource must be able to yield information on the historic func-
tions or engineering of the canal. Canal resources must also retain original materials, setting, and configuration
to be eligible under Criterion D.

Subtype: railroad resources The historic right-of-way completed by the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1850 for
the most part is presently in use by Conrail, thus the significant features associated with the operation of the
line have, by necessity, been subject to continuing maintenance, upkeep or replacement as necessary. Other rail-
road resources may be associated with local industry that operated rail lines as part of their operations such as
the East Broad Top Railroad by the Rockhill Iron and Coal Company.

In order to be eligible in the area of transportation under Criterion A railroad resources must be an important
link in the local railroad network or in the transportation of goods and people through or within Huntingdon
County. In order to be eligible in the area of industry under Criterion A, railroad resources must be associated
with a locally important industry such as the coal or coke industry. To be eligible in the area of engineering
under Criterion C, railroad resources must be an example of a bridge or tunnel design that was important in the
construction of bridges and tunnels in Huntingdon County; or be an example of engineering needed by railroad
companies in overcoming mountainous terrain in western Pennsylvania. As part of the Pennsylvania
Railroad's efforts to maintain or increase carrying capacity on bridges in Huntingdon County, the Pennsylvania
Railroad reinforced bridges in Huntingdon County with concrete during the first decades of the twentieth cen-
tury. The concrete reinforcing is considered as contributing to the historic significance of these bridges; this rein-
forcing enabled the Pennsylvania Railroad to continue its important role in local and regional transportation to
1939. Pennsylvania Railroad tunnels similarly remain eligible for the National Register even though two of the
four tracks constructed at the turn of this century have been removed. The railroad track and bed remain eligi-
ble as long as the original alignment and grade of the bed and track have been maintained. The railroad track
and bed are eligible even though ties and rails may have been replaced; such replacements are considered essen-
tial to the continuing operation of the railroad line. Railroad resources were evaluated at the local level.

Warehouses constructed by the Pennsylvania Railroad must retain their proximity to the right-of-way as well
as their original design and construction material in order to be eligible under Criterion A for association with
the transportation industry. They may also exemplify the use of the railroad by a significant historic industry.
For railroad warehouses eligible under Criterion C for their engineering significance it is not necessary for them
to retain their original location as long as an appropriate setting is provided and engineering features have been
retained.

G. GEOGRAPHICAL DATA

Geographical Data

List all jurisdictions and geograph-
ical units or portions covered by the
multiple property group, including
the name of towns, cities, counties,
townships, parishes , multiple coun-
ties, areas of counties, and areas of
states or multiple states. The geo-
graphical data define the limits of the
area where properties included
within the multiple property group
exist or are likely to exist. Define po-
litical boundaries, route numbers,
road names, or topographical fea-
tures as precisely as possible. Geo-
graphical data also may refer to sec-
tion numbers, contour lines, or lines
drawn between UTM reference
points on USGS quadrangle maps.
State if the area is coterminous with
the limits of a political jurisdiction or
area, for example, Yellowstone Na-

tional Park or the incorporated limits
of Columbus.

The geographical area covered by
the multiple property listing should
incorporate the area covered by its re-
lated historic contexts, but it does not
need to have the same boundaries.

EXAMPLES

The State of Washington

The corporate limits of the village of
Higginsport, Brown County, Ohio

The geographical area encompasses
the 19 National Forests in the Pa-
cific Northwest Region (region 6) lo-
cated in Oregon and Washington

The salt pond region extends across
the southern edge of Rhode Island.
Located within Washington County,

the area includes portions of West-
erly, Charlestown, South Kings-
town, and Narragansett. The
eastern boundary is Route 108 in
Narragansett; the western boundary
is the Pawtucket River; the southern
boundary is Block Island Sound; the
northern boundary generally is U.S.
Route 1. Exceptions to this north-
ern boundary occur (1) at the inter-
section of U.S. Route 1 and Narrow
Lane. The boundary at this intersec-
tion follows the 60 foot contour line
north and west around Cross Mills
Pond, and (2) at the intersection of
U.S. Routes 1 and 1A in Westerly.
At this intersection, the boundary
turns southwest along Route 1A to
the Pawtucket River shoreline imme-
diately adjacent to intersections of
Avondale Road and India Point
Road.

H. SUMMARY OF
IDENTIFICATION AND
EVALUATION METHODS

H. Summary of identification and Evaluation Methods

(Discuss the methods used in developing the multiple property listing

Provide a concise explanation of
the methods used to prepare the
multiple property submission by an-
swering the following questions:

• How was the survey conducted
and data collected? Include a dis-
cussion about methods, survey
history, sampling techniques, sur-
vey procedures, archival re-
search, and field survey.

How were the historic context(s)
determined? Include information
about the general approach for or-
ganizing data about the historic
contexts , determining geographi-
cal area, and period of time.

On what were the significant
property types based? Function,
style, time period, or historical pe-
riod?

• How were the requirements de-
rived for integrity for the listing
of member properties? Were
they based on a knowledge of the
condition of existing properties,
on predictions derived from a
study of historic land use, or on
some other factors?

This cluster of agricultural buildings that make up the ca. 1899 Puckett Family Farm at
Satterwhite, Historic and Architectural Resources of Granville County, North Carolina has
been described as "one of the county's most significant bright leaf era rural properties, an intact
symbol of the way most of the county's citizenry led its life from the Civil War into the 1950s."
It was nominated to the National Register of Historic Places as part of the geographically -based
Granville County, North Carolina multiple property submission. (Marvin A. Brown)

EXAMPLE OF IDENTIFICATION AND EVALUATION METHODS

The multiple property listing of historic and architectural resources of Granville County, North Carolina, is
based upon a 1986 architectural resources inventory of the county, and a 1987 National Register nomination proj-
ect, conducted by Marvin A. Brown and Patricia A. Esperon under the auspices of the Survey and Planning
Branch of the North Carolina Division of Archives and History. The inventory identified more than 525 properties
and groups of properties. Every passable road, public and private, leading to a known or suspected property was
driven during the inventory and every building marked on the USGS topographical maps for the county was
viewed. Properties from vernacular to high style were recorded, with emphasis given to age and rarity, and repre-
sentativeness of types and styles. Every pre-Civil War property was recorded, as were the vast majority of proper-
ties predating the turn of the century. Those not recorded were passed over because of alterations that substan-
tially damaged their integrity. Properties erected between 1900 and World War II were more selectively recorded,
with emphasis given to the more unaltered, unusual or particularly representative ones. For each recorded prop-
erty, locations were noted on USGS topographical maps; photographs were taken; computerized inventory forms
were completed; research, including the checking of deeds and secondary sources and the taking of oral histories,
was conducted, and narrative architectural and historical descriptions were written. This work was conducted on
a full-time basis by Marvin Brown during 1986 and on a full-time basis for the last half of the year by Patricia Espe-
ron. In 1987, both Brown and Esperon also worked full-time in the county, further researching the inventoried
properties and drafting National Register nominations.

The properties are grouped under three historic contexts that conform with the three major themes that best de-
fine the county and its properties: (1) the plantation era between the founding of the county and the Civil War; (2)
the influences of the raising of Bright Leaf tobacco on the development of rural Granville County between the
Civil War and World War II; (3) and the influence of the Bright Leaf during those years on the development of the
county seat of Oxford. The property types are organized chronologically by style and by function.

The survey identified a wide range of resources in the county spanning the years from the Revolutionary War to
World War II. Integrity requirements were based upon a knowledge of existing properties. The architectural and
physical features of the county's finer surviving properties, derived from the inventory, were considered in devel-
oping the outlines of potential registration requirements. The general statements about the lack of comprehensive
integrity of many properties are based upon knowledge of the deteriorated condition and tenuous position of
many of the county's rarest and most historically evocative and important properties. The total number of Gran-
ville County properties placed on the Study List for nomination to the National Register at the January 8, 1987,
North Carolina Professional Review Committee meeting was 120 individual rural properties, five rural districts,
one large Oxford historic district and five individual Oxford properties. Approximately 90 percent of these study
list properties are dwellings and farms, with several grist mills, masonic lodges, churches, tobacco manufactories
and fraternal and commercial buildings making up the rest. The few nominated properties included with this
multiple property nomination are the first phase of nominations. They were chosen because they are exceptional
examples of important styles and types in the county and exceptionally evocative of historical ways of life in the
county. The nominated properties were limited to a small selection of inventoried properties because of budget-
ary and time limitations imposed by the National Register project under which this work has been performed.
Also because of budgetary and time constraints, the Historic District in Oxford was limited to the discrete core of
the town's oldest, finest and most significant properties.

vised, refined, and expanded as new
information is gathered, new proper-
ties are identified, and changes in the
condition of related property types
are observed.

Completed registration forms for re-
lated properties may be submitted to
the National Register at the same
time or after the multiple property
form has been submitted, provided

all the procedures and requirements
set forth in 36 CFR Part 60 have been
met.

Documentation on the multiple
property form may also be updated,
revised, and added to at any time
upon the request of the State or Fed-
eral Historic Preservation Officer.
Changes may be made by:

• Submitting additional informa-
tion on new continuation sheets,
or

• Providing a replacement form or
individual sheets where substan-
tial changes are made in the text.

Continuation sheets and replace-
ment forms, as well as any requests
for the removal of listed properties
must be certified by the Federal or
State Historic Preservation Officer
