Where are we now in the process of having
these two districts listed on the National
Register?
• Preliminary boundaries of the two districts have
been suggested and reviewed by the North
Carolina Historic Preservation Office
• A photographic inventory, description, and
history of all of the buildings in both districts has
been completed, and is now being finalized.
• Draft National Register nominations with the
complete inventory and history of the two
districts will be completed by October 31, 2006.
Preliminary Boundaries for the two
Historic Districts
Why were these boundaries
selected?
• These boundaries include historic
buildings, and cannot include large groups
of buildings that date after 1956, or that
have been altered, or areas where there
once were historic buildings that have
been demolished.
What’s next?
• The nominations will be reviewed by the
Eastern Office of the North Carolina State
Historic Preservation Office
• The nominations will then be reviewed by
the Raleigh Office of the North Carolina
State Historic Preservation Office
• The consultant will revise the nominations
and submit the final nomination to the
Historic Preservation Office
What happens to the final National
Register nominations?
• The National Register Advisory Committee, a
panel of experts from across North Carolina,
reviews the nomination and recommends that
the State Historic Preservation Officer sign the
document and submit it to the National Register
office in Washington, D.C. for their approval.
• The Keeper of the National Register then signs
the nomination and then the two districts are
listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
