How is a property listed in the National Register of Historic Places?
The way a property gets listed in the National Register of Historic Places is that the forms and documentation go to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) of the state where the property is located. The SHPO can take one of several options: reject the property, ask for more information, list the property just with the state, or send the forms to us for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Once we receive the forms, we conduct a similar review process. You can read our page on Listing a Property at: http://www.nps.gov/history/nr/national_register_fundamentals.htm You can find contact information for the SHPOs at: http://www.nps.gov/history/nr/shpolist.
