Content Information
A historic property inventory is a file that contains information about historically significant sites, buildings, structures, objects and districts and survey-evaluation reports, National Register and local designation nominations, and other data pertaining to the built environment and history of a city or county.
For the CLG application, the historic preservation commission will prepare a list of properties in the city or county which the commission feels merit survey, evaluation, and registry on a local system of designation and/or the National Register. The list may include locally significant historic properties endangered by development, changes in property use, or neglect. The list should include properties that currently are listed on the National Register. For each property on the list, please provide the name of the property (e.g., Aven Blythe House or Westport Creamery) and the street address or legal definition (quarter section, section, township, and range). Also, for each property on the list, there should be a brief statement of the significance of each property or district and the historic context that it represents.
This is a preliminary inventory, not a definitive or exhaustive one. Preparing the list allows the commission to share its knowledge of local prehistory and history and the existing historic properties that reflect it. It also gives the commission an opportunity to become familiar with their jurisdiction and the properties within it.
