What is the difference between a contributing and a non-contributing house in Deadwood?
A contributing house is on the National Historic Register; the house is over 50 years old and contributes to the historic integrity of the City of Deadwood. These houses have strict guidelines to abide by; however they qualify for low interest loans and grants. A non-contributing house is not on the National Historic Register; the house is not older than 50 years or is over 50 years but has been changed drastically and has lost its historic integrity.
