Excerpts

[/vc_column_text][vc_message color=”warning” message_box_color=”warning” icon_fontawesome=”” css=””]This publication compliments the guidance provided in National Register Bulletins by providing examples on specific topics.[/vc_message][vc_row_inner el_class=”hpo-callout-text”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”hpo-intro-paragraph”]As explained in National Register Bulletin 16A: How to Prepare National Register Registration Forms, the physical characteristics and historic significance of a district provides the basis for evaluating component resources. …[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]… National Register Bulletin 46: Historic Residential Suburbs recognizes the impact of automobile travel on suburban development, and pays particular attention to the introduction and proliferation of garages. As noted at page 56, [s]helter for the automobile became an increasingly important consideration after 1900. Bulletin 46 explains that nominations should include descriptions of architectural styles and types represented by both dwellings and garages. The latter are particularly important if the pattern of suburban development clearly accommodated automobile storage.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]… Ancillary buildings and structures should be addressed in a nomination with transparency. While there is no single way to address these resources, “best practices” are discussed here for several different situations.

Generally, all identifiable ancillary buildings and structures—whether described or not—should be acknowledged in the nomination and, to the extent possible, evaluated as either contributing or noncontributing resources.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″ css=”.vc_custom_1758815062001{margin-bottom: 32px !important;}”][info-box-shortcode icon=”fa fa-solid fa-rectangle-list” title=”Table of Contents”]
