How is a building nominated for local or national landmark status?
Nominations can be prepared by a property owner, interested citizens, preservation organizations, or the state historic preservation office (SHPO). Standard National Register forms (available from the SHPO) must be used and submitted to the SHPO, which reviews the nomination against the National Register evaluation criteria. Certified Local Governments may also review nominations prior to submission to the SHPO. Contact the Ohio Historical Society at www.ohiohistory.org for more information.
