(Top Left) The Inscription Hill Site, part of Los Robles Archeological District, was documented as part of the multiple property submission,

Hohokam Platform Mound Communities of the Lower Santa Cruz River Basin, ca. A.D. 1050-1450 in Arizona. The Multiple Property Documentation Form presents a comprehensive discussion of the I lohokam Classic period when large, earthen mounds were constructed and served as

a community center, and settlement patterns were characterized by mounds and associated villages, agricultural fields, and resource processing

camps. (Arizona State Museum)

(Top Right) Constructed 1889-1891, the Washington County Courthouse was nominated to the National Register of Historic Places as part of

the County Courthouses of Nebraska multiple property submission. The Washington County Courthouse was cited as an excellent example of a

"County Capitol" property type, which represented the mature form of a county courthouse of the late 19th century. It displayed "appropriate

symbolism and suitable form and function [that] came together fully for the first time." (Barbara Beving Long)

(Bottom Left) The John Peace, Jr. House in Wilton, North Carolina, was documented as part of the multiple property submission, Historic and

Architectural Resources of Granville County. Constructed ca. 1801, the house is significant as one of Granville County's "oldest and most unusually fashioned properties." The house shape, plan, finish, and chimney are reminiscent of architecture in the eastern Tidewater area rather

than the Northern Piedmont area where it is located. (Marvin A. Brown)

(Bottom Right) The 1940 rustic kitchen shelter was included in the National Register of Historic Places nomination ofFlandrau State Park as

part of the multiple property submission, Minnesota State Park CCC/WPA/Rustic Historic Resources. Located near New Him, Brown County,

Minnesota, the Flandrau State Park is significant for its development during the Great Depression by the Civilian Conservation Corps and the

Works Progress Administration and for its association with the development of the State park system in Minnesota. (RolfT. Anderson)

PREFACE

The National Register of Historic

Places is the official Federal list of districts, sites, buildings, structures, and

objects significant in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture. These contribute to an understanding of the historical and cultural foundations of the

Nation. The National Register includes:

• All prehistoric and historic units of

the National Park System;

• National Historic Landmarks,

which are properties recognized by

the Secretary of the Interior as

possessing national significance;

and

• Properties significant in American,

State, or local prehistory and

history that have been nominated

by State Historic Preservation

Officers, Federal agencies, Tribal

Preservation Officers, and others,

and have been approved for listing

by the National Park Service.

By Federal law, National Register

listing assists in preserving historic

properties in several ways:

• Recognition and appreciation of

historic properties and their

importance,

• Consideration in planning Federal

and Federally assisted projects,

• Making property owners eligible

for Federal tax benefits,

• Consideration in decisions to issue

surface coal mining permits, and

• Qualifying preservation projects

for Federal grant assistance.

The Historic Sites Act of 1935 (Public Law 74-292) established the National Historic Landmark Survey.

The National Historic Preservation

Act of 1966 (Public Law 89-665) authorized the National Register of Historic Places, expanding Federal recognition to historic properties of local

and State significance. The National

Park Service in the U.S. Department of

the Interior administers both programs. Regulations for these programs are contained in 36 CFR Part

60, National Register of Historic

Places, and 36 CFR Part 65, National

Historic Landmarks Program.

The National Historic Preservation

Act authorizes State Historic Preservation Officers (SHPOs) in each State

and Territory of the United States to

nominate properties to the National

Register of Historic Places and to

carry out other preservation activities.

Federal Preservation Officers (FPOs)

have been designated in Federal agencies to nominate Federal properties

and to fulfill other responsibilities of

the Act. Tribal Preservation Officers

(TPOs) have been designated to nominate properties located on tribal reservations and to fulfill other responsibilities of the Act.

I. THE NATIONAL

REGISTER CRITERIA FOR

EVALUATION

National Register criteria define,

for the Nation as a whole, the scope

and nature of historic and archeological properties that are to be considered eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.

CRITERIA FOR

EVALUATION

The quality of significance in American history, architecture, archeology,

engineering, and culture is present in

districts, sites, buildings, structures,

and objects that possess integrity of

location, design, setting, materials,

workmanship, feeling, and association and:

a. That are associated with events

that have made a significant

contribution to the broad patterns of our history; or

b. That are associated with the lives

of persons significant in our

past; or

c. That embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period , or

method of construction, or that

represent the work of a master,

or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity

whose components may lack individual distinction; or

d. That have yielded, or may be

likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.

CRITERIA

CONSIDERATIONS

Ordinarily cemeteries, birthplaces,

or graves of historical figures, properties owned by religious institutions

or used for religious purposes, structures that have been moved from

their original locations, reconstructed

historic buildings, properties primarily commemorative in nature, and

properties that have achieved significance within the past 50 years shall

not be considered eligible for the National Register. However, such properties will qualify if they are integral

parts of districts that do meet the criteria or if they fall within the following categories:

a. A religious property deriving primary significance from architectural or artistic distinction or

historical importance; or

b. A building or structure removed

from its original location but

which is significant primarily

for architectural value, or which

is the surviving structure most

importantly associated with a

historic person or event; or

A birthplace or grave of a historical figure of outstanding importance if there is no other

appropriate site or building directly associated with his productive life; or

A cemetery that derives its primary significance from graves

of persons of transcendent importance, from age, from distinctive design features, or from

association with historic events;

or

A reconstructed building when

accurately executed in a suitable environment and presented in a dignified manner as

part of a restoration master

plan, and when no other building or structure with the same

association has survived; or

A property primarily commemorative in intent if design, age,

tradition, or symbolic value has

invested it with its own historical significance; or

A property achieving significance within the past 50 years if

it is of exceptional importance.
II: INTRODUCTION

The National Register of Historic

Places Multiple Property Documentation Form (NPS 10-900-b) nominates

groups of related significant properties. On it, the themes, trends, and

patterns of history shared by the

properties are organized into historic

contexts and the property types that

represent those historic contexts are

defined.

The Multiple Property Documentation Form is a cover document and

not a nomination in its own right, but

serves as a basis for evaluating the

National Register eligibility of related

properties. It may be used to nominate and register thematically-related

historic properties simultaneously or

to establish the registration requirements for properties that may be

nominated in the future. The nomination of each building, site, district,

structure, or object within a thematic

group is made on the National Register Registration Form (NPS 10-900).

The name of the thematic group, denoting the historical framework of

nominated properties, is the multiple

property listing. When nominated

and listed in the National Register of

Historic Places, the Multiple Property

Documentation Form, together with

individual registration forms, constitute a multiple property submission.

The Multiple Property Documentation Form streamlines the method of

organizing information collected in

surveys and research for registration

and preservation planning purposes.

The form facilitates the evaluation of

individual properties by comparing

them with resources that share similar physical characteristics and historical associations. Information common to the group of properties is presented in the Multiple Property Documentation Form, while information

specific to each individual building,

site, district, structure, or object is

placed on an individual registration

form. As a management tool, the thematic approach can furnish essential

information for historic preservation

Central Orphanage

Salem Methodist Church

Bobbitt-Rogers House and Tobacco Manufactory District

planning because it evaluates properties on a comparative basis within a

given geographical area and because

it can be used to establish preservation priorities based on historical significance.

HOW A MULTIPLE

PROPERTY

SUBMISSION IS

ORGANIZED

The organization of a multiple

property submission has both general and specific components. The

multiple property listing is named

for the subject of the listing. Under

this general heading, one or more historic contexts may be identified. In
the National Register program, historic contexts include three elements:

a historical theme, geographical area,

and chronological period. Historic

contexts describe the impact of various historic themes, trends, or patterns on areas as small as part of a

community or as large as the nation.

The property type analysis occupies

the middle ground between the general historic context and the individual property. At the most specific

level, the National Register Registration Form illustrates how an individual property or historic district relates to the historic contexts, represents a property type, and meets registration requirements for the type.

For examples of multiple property

submissions, see National Register Bulletin 35: National Register Casebook: Examples of Documentation, Historical

and Architectural Resources ofGranville, North Carolina, Case 35-1 and Historic Resources ofOakes, North Dakota,

Case 35-2. The National Register staff

may be consulted for information on

multiple property submissions that

may already have been complgted defining specific historic contexts. Research on subject areas, such as mining, building types, and maritime resources, may already have been conducted as part of a multiple property

submission and may be applicable to

other localities and states. Instructions for completing the individual

registration forms are found in National Register Bulletin 16A: How to

Complete the National Register Registration Form. The Secretary of the

Interior's Standards and Guidelines for

Archeology and Historic Preservation

may be consulted for additional information on standards for preservation

planning, identification, evaluation,

and registration. The State Historic

Preservation Officer (SHPO) and Federal Preservation Officer (FPO) also

may provide information on historic

contexts.

In order to be approved by the

Keeper of the National Register, the

submitted Multiple Property Documentation Form must include at least

one historic context and one associated property type discussion. Additional historic contexts and associated property types may be submitted at a later date. Individual National Register Registration Forms

may accompany the Multiple Property Documentation Form, or they

may be submitted later. The originator of the Multiple Property Documentation Form may prepare this information or registration forms, or

Federal or State agencies, private organizations, or individuals.

The approach taken in organizing

multiple property submissions will

depend upon a number of factors, including the nature and number of the

resources expected to form the thematic group and the extent to which

historic contexts and evaluations of

property types have been developed.

Practical considerations, such as staff,

time, amount and source of funding,

availability of information, and expertise, may help determine how many

and which historic contexts and property types are treated. Planning concerns, such as development pressures, other threats to historic resources, and planning priorities and

goals, also may strongly influence decisions about the areas looked at and

the historic contexts documented at

any given time.

COMPUTERGENERATED FORMS

Computer-generated forms may be

used in place of the National Park

Service forms and continuation

sheets if they meet certain requirements. These forms must list in

order all items as they appear on the

National Register forms. They must

also contain the form number and

the OMB approval number appearing in the upper right hand corner of

the form, and be printed with a letterquality printer on archivally stable

paper. The National Park Service can

provide a template for the National

Register Multiple Property Documentation Form that can be used with a

variety of personal computers (IBMDOS compatible) and word processing software. Applicants should

check with the SHPO or FPO before

using a computer-generated form.

PUBLIC EDUCATION

Although multiple property submissions constitute the most common use of research and documentation of historic contexts, the information may serve broader public education uses. The forms themselves are

of value for public education. The

narrative also may be used in historical publications, tourist pamphlets,

walking tour notes, and educational

manuals directed at elementary and

secondary school students. The National Park Service encourages the

use of information collected for public education including the development of interpretive programs and

publications.
Ill: COMPLETING THE

MULTIPLE PROPERTY

DOCUMENTATION FORM

The National Register Multiple

Property Documentation Form documents groups of thematically related properties. This form defines

and describes one or more historic

contexts, describes associated property types related to the historic contexts, and establishes significance

and integrity requirements for nominating properties to the National Register.

The following instructions are organized to correspond to sections of

the Multiple Property Documentation Form.

Indicate at the top of the form if the

material is a new submission or an

amended submission (see page 26 for

information on amending multiple

property submissions).

A. NAME OF MULTIPLE

PROPERTY LISTING

A. Name of Multiple Property Listing

In the space provided, enter a

name that identifies the thematic

group of properties being documented. The name should be based

on the broad unifying themes,

trends, or patterns that link properties within the submission, such as

historic events, significant persons,

architectural styles, archeological

types, physical characteristics, or

other common characteristics to

which the group as a whole relates.

The name also should identify the geographical area, such as a community or county, and cultural affiliation associated with the group. It

may identify a time period as well.

If the listing is related to a small

group of thematically related property types dispersed over a broad geographical area, select names such as

Rural School Buildings in Washington

State or Hopewell Ceremonial, Ritualistic, and Mortuary/Burial Structures in

the Southern Ohio Watersheds. If the

listing covers a variety of historic resources within geographical and temporal limits, a title such as The Indian

Use of the Salt Pond Region between

4000 B.P. and 1750 A.D. may be selected. If a listing is based on a survey for a specific geographical area, a

general title such as the Historic Resources of Boneyfiddle, Ohio, may be appropriate. Depending on the organization of the thematic group nomination and the properties it encompasses, the name of the multiple

property listing may be the same as

the name of the associated historic

context.

The Orin Porter House was included in a boundary increase for the Hudson Historic District,

nominated as part of the multiple property submission, Historic and Architectural Properties of

Hudson in Summit County, Ohio. The boundary increase was justified on the basis of its association with the development of the community's post-Civil War era railroad-based economy. The

owner of this house, Orin Porter, was a significant architect associated with the architectural development of this section of the historic district. (Lois Newkirk)
GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR MULTIPLE PROPERTY SUBMISSIONS

• A Multiple Property Documentation Form is a document for recording written statements of historic context

and associated property types, thereby providing a framework for evaluating a thematic group of historic

properties.

• A multiple property submission may be based on one or more historic contexts.

• The contents of a multiple property submission may be organized because:

1. One or more historic contexts and related property types are represented.

2. Related properties exist or are likely to exist in sufficient numbers to warrant registration in the

multiple property format.

3. The needs of Federal, State, or local preservation planning goals and priorities are addressed.

• A historic context is a body of information about related properties organized by theme, place, and time.

• The theme underlying the historic context may be based on one or several broad areas of significance, or on

more specific events and activities or patterns of physical or cultural development related to one or several

areas of significance.

• The geographical area covered by a historic context is based on the location and extent of properties known

or likely to exist or have existed related to the historic context, such as a community developed as a regional

center of commerce, a river valley having a common pattern of cultural development, or an area across several

states settled by one particular ethnic group.

• The time period covered by a historic context is based on the period of time when the events significant to

the historic context are known to have occurred.

• A multiple property submission may cover any geographical scale—local, regional, State or national—and

need not be the same level as that of the related historic contexts.

• While a multiple property group or a historic context is organized at a specific geographical level, an individual property may be evaluated at another, often smaller, geographical level. If so, the property's relationship

to its historic context must be considered.

• A property type may relate to one or several historic contexts. The significance of a property type is based

on a knowledge of its respective historic contexts.

• A property type and its related properties may have significance in history, architecture, engineering, archeology, or culture, or a combination of these disciplines, and may meet one or more of the National Register criteria.

• Multiple property listings may arise from historic contexts identified in the Federal, State, or local planning

process.
GUIDELINES FOR ORGANIZING A MULTIPLE PROPERTY SUBMISSION BASED ON

A LOCAL SURVEY

Many multiple property submissions are based on surveys or inventories of historic, architectural, cultural, or

archeological properties, particularly for communities. The following guidelines may be helpful in these cases:

• Through a study of primary and secondary sources, predictive studies, field survey, and other techniques,

compile information about the prehistory and history of the community and the existence of related historic

resources.

• Carefully analyze the information to identify the broad patterns and stages in the area's prehistory or history.

Relate these to the National Register criteria and areas of significance. Consider:

1. Stages and patterns of area settlement and development, important events, and significant persons.

2. Aesthetic and artistic values embodied in architecture, art, craftsmanship, construction technology, or the

style and work of a master.

3. Research values or problems related to the area's prehistory and history, social and physical sciences and

humanities, and local cultural interests.

• Determine which historic patterns or developments can be studied on a local level, and which need to be studied in a larger geographical context, such as the State, region, or the nation as a whole. Consider the ways in

which the patterns and stages of local development relate to the historic contexts that have been identified in

the Statewide preservation planning process.

• Define a particular period of time, geographical area, and theme for each major stage or pattern of development, identifying a set of historic contexts that can be used to organize information about the history and prehistory of the locality and its related historic properties.

• Document the locality's history and prehistory in Section E of the multiple property form, using the historic

contexts as the framework for organizing the information.

• The survey identifies various kinds of properties found in the local community or geographical area according to each historic context. Group these into property types based on their common physical or associative

characteristics.

• Document each property type in Section F of the multiple property form. Using survey data and other information, describe the associative and physical characteristics that define each property type and discuss its significance to the historic context. Assess the qualities and condition of existing related properties. Determine

the characteristics or qualities and the degree of historic integrity required for the registration of related properties in the National Register as a member of the property type.

• Apply the registration requirements to each surveyed property possessing similar physical or associative characteristics. Compare the characteristics, qualities, and degree of integrity required for registration to that of

each property to determine if it qualifies for registration as a member of the property type.

• Document on a National Register Registration Form each property determined to meet the registration requirements. Special instructions for properties submitted as part of a multiple property listing should be followed.

• Organize the documentation for all and any combination of the historic contexts and property types and the

forms for each property documented, into one or several multiple property submissions.
B. ASSOCIATED HISTORIC

CONTEXTS

B. Associated Historic Contexts

(Name each associated historic context, identifying theme, geographical area, and chronological period for each.)

Enter the name of the historic contexts related to the multiple property

submission and used in preparing

the multiple property form. For each

historic context, determine the appropriate theme, geographical area, and

chronological period for each context.

Historic contexts may include those

identified in the State historic preservation office comprehensive planning process. According to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and

Guidelines for Archeology and Historic

Preservation, historic contexts provide

information about the historical patterns and trends that produced individual properties. Historic contexts

serve as the foundation for decisions

about the identification, evaluation,

registration, and treatment of historic

properties. For further explanation

of historic contexts, see discussion in

section E.

Main Street was included in the Gold Hill Historic District, a property nominated to the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Metal Mining and Tourist Era Resources of Boulder County, Colorado multiple property submission. Dating from the early 1870s, the Gold Hill

Historic District is considered the most "intact representation of the early mountain communities that developed as a result of the precious metal mining in Boulder County." (Deborah

Abele)

The 1939 water tower is a contributing building in the National Register of Historic Places

nomination of Lake Bronson State Park in Kittson County, Minnesota. The eligibility of the

park was justified for its association with the Minnesota State Park CCC/WPA/Rustic Style

Historic Resources multiple property submission. The historic resources of Lake Bronson State

Park are significant as "outstanding examples of rustic style split stone construction." (Rolf T.

Although only the individual

properties documented for eligibility

as part of the listing will be registered in the National Register and included in the National Register Information System, the multiple property

form will become a permanent part

of the written records of the National

Register. It is used as a basis for the

evaluation of registration forms appended at the time of the initial submission and subsequently as additional properties are submitted

10
E. STATEMENT OF HISTORIC

CONTEXTS

E. Statement of Historic Contexts

(If more than one historic context is documented, present them in sequential order.)

Provide a written narrative of the

historic contexts related to the multiple property submission. To qualify

for listing in the National Register of

Historic Places, a property must be

significant; that is, it must represent a

significant historic context in the history, architecture, archeology, engineering, or culture of an area, and it

must have the characteristics that

make it a good representative of

properties associated with that context. Historic contexts are those patterns or trends in history by which a

specific occurrence, property, or site

is understood and its meaning (and

ultimately its significance) within prehistory or history is made clear.

Historians, architectural historians,

folklorists, archeologists, and anthropologists use different words to describe this phenomena such as trend,

pattern, theme, or cultural affiliation,

but the concept is the same. The concept of historic context is not a new

one; it has been fundamental to the

study of history since the 18th century and, arguably, earlier than that.

Its core premise is that resources,

properties, or happenings in history

do not occur in a vacuum but rather

are part of larger trends or patterns.

For the multiple property submission, the statement of historic context

is a written narrative that describes

the unifying thematic framework.

The historic context statement must

be developed in sufficient depth to

support the relevance, the relationships, and the importance of the

properties to be considered. For the

purposes of the National Register

program, the statement of historic

contexts requires a consistent framework: theme, geographical area, and

chronological period. This organization provides for a standardized

means of describing and explaining

the significance of a wide variety of

properties.

Depending on the nature of the historic properties and the informed

judgment of the nomination preparer, the historic context may represent any one of a range of historical

frames of reference. There are many

ways in which to look at historic

properties and thus many ways of

documenting contexts. The approach should be determined by the

purpose or need for evaluating and

managing historic properties.

If there is a need to know more

about particular kinds of resources, a

thematic approach may be called for.

Historic context may emphasize economic, social, and political forces,

such as certain industries, arts, literature, and military subjects. A historic

context may be associated with the

life of a person or groups of persons

that influenced the destiny and character of a region. Architectural

styles, building and structural types,

and building materials and methods

of construction also may serve as the

organizing device for the historic context. Care should be taken not to define the context too narrowly so as to

limit its applicability to preservation

decision making. For example, a historic context covering three-story

apartment houses will be far less useful than one defined by the general

apartment house building type. Or,

a historic context may be based on a

research topic or archeological site

type that will expand existing knowledge of an area's development, past

cultural affiliation, and human activities and interaction.

If there is a need to know more

about properties in a particular area,

such as when a Certified Local Government wishes to survey and inventory the resources within its jurisdiction, then a geographically-based approach would be appropriate. A geographically-based historic context

may be at the scale of a community,

town, city, county, State, region, nation, or physiographic area and may

treat all or some of the themes and

periods in a given area. A management unit, such as a park, public forest, or transportation system, also

may be a geographically-based historic context. For such historic contexts, prehistory and history prior to

the establishment of the management

unit should take into account patterns and trends beyond the modern

boundaries. For geographicallybased historic contexts, the following

may be addressed: the developmental phases in the area's history; the

economic, social, and political forces

that affected the area's physical form,

and factors that gave the community

or area its own distinct character separate from that of like or other settlements.

If there is a need to know more

about the properties of a particular

period in history, a chronologicallybased approach is called for. Such

historic contexts may focus on a prehistoric period, such as a historic context devoted to prehistoric hunters

and gatherers ca. 10,000-200 B.P.

They also may focus on historical periods, such as the post-Civil War era,

the Great Depression, or early settlement.

The discussion of historic context

should introduce a definition of the

property type, its locational patterns,

and general characteristics. These

topics are defined in greater detail in

section F.

If more than one historic context is

documented, they should be presented in sequential order. Normally, the historic contexts discussion stands as a discrete narrative section, followed by the discussion of

11
GUIDELINES FOR DOCUMENTING A HISTORIC

CONTEXT

The Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Archeology and

Historic Preservation offer the following steps for documenting a historic

context:

• Identify the concept (or theme), chronological period, and geographical area for the historic context.

• Assemble information about the historic context:

1. Collect information about the prehistory or history of the geographical area encompassed by the historic context, including information about properties that have already been identified. Identify

groups of properties that may have important roles in defining

historic contexts and values.

2. Assess information to identify bias in historic perspective, methodological approach, or area of coverage.

• Synthesize information. Prepare a written narrative of the historic

context, providing a detailed synthesis of the data collected and analyzed. Important patterns, events, persons, architectural types and

styles, or cultural values should be identified. Consider:

1. Trends in area settlement and development;

2. Aesthetic and artistic values embodied in architecture, construction, technology, or craftsmanship, and

3. Research values.

• Define property types.

1. Identify property types that have relevance and importance in illustrating the historic context. Determine how the National Register

criteria would apply to examples of each on the basis of the important patterns, events, persons, and cultural values discussed in the

written narrative of historic context. Also, outline and justify the

specific physical and associative characteristics and quality of historic integrity that an individual property must possess to be eligible for listing as a member of the property type.

2. Characterize the locational patterns of property types, that is, generalize about where particular types of property are likely to be

found.

3. Characterize the current condition of known properties relating to

each property type.

property types. Depending on the

nature of the historic properties, however, it may be advantageous to present each historic context followed by

its corresponding property type before proceeding to the next historic

context. The National Park Service

will accept either approach to the

order of these sections, provided that

the requested information is included

and clearly labelled.

13
F. ASSOCIATED PROPERTY TYPES

F. Associated Property Types

(Provide description, significance, and registration requirements.)

For each property type, provide

the name, description, statement of

significance, and registration requirements for National Register listing. The property type description

and statement of significance need

not be lengthy if the information is already discussed in section E, but it

should be summarized.

Property type ties the historic context to specific historic properties, so

that National Register eligibility can

be assessed. A property type is a

grouping of individual properties

characterized by common physical

and/or associative attributes. Physical attributes include style, structural

type, size, scale, proportions, design,

architectural details, method of construction, orientation, spatial arrangement or plan, materials, workmanship, artistry, and environmental relationships. Care should be taken not

to define property types too narrowly— according to a localized architectural feature, size, scale, feature, proportions, etc. Associative attributes include the property's relationship to important persons, activities, and events, based on information such as dates, functions, cultural

affiliations, and relationship to important research topics.

Discuss the specific characteristics

qualifying or disqualifying specific

properties for listing. These characteristics may include physical or associative attributes or relate to integrity

considerations. For purposes of discussion and analysis, it may be useful

to divide some property types into

subtypes. For example, in the Metal

Mining and Tourist Era Resources of

Boulder County, Colorado multiple

property listing, the property type

vernacular domestic dwelling is divided

into the subtypes: pioneer log, vernacular wood frame, and vernacular

Victorian.

Property type analysis is a tool for

evaluating related properties. The

conclusion of this analysis is the registration requirements. The analysis

also is useful for assessing variations

within a particular property type. If

subtypes are identified, registration

requirements may be divided between the general qualifications for

members of the types and more specific features of the subtypes. The

analysis of subtypes will be more detailed, and therefore, more useful for

the evaluation of identified properties. Property type analysis is not

necessary on this form for unique or

rare resources because the information can appear on the registration

form within the multiple property

submission.

A property type may include a variety of buildings and structures with

diverse physical characteristics or

may be based on distinguishable

structural types or functions. Railroad-Era Construction in Watrous

could include commercial, industrial,

civic, and residential buildings of the

period as well as structures directly

associated with the railroad. The

property type, effigy mounds is limited to a specific archeological site

type. Round barn is based on architectural form, whereas dairy farms and facilities is based on function and association with a specific agricultural activity.

PROPERTY TYPE

DESCRIPTION

In concise narrative form, describe

the physical characteristics and associative qualities that define each

property type. Descriptions should

discuss a combination of physical

and associative characteristics. Physical or associative characteristics may

be emphasized depending on the significance of the property type. Property types significant under Criteria

A and B, for historical associations,

will likely emphasize associative

characteristics, whereas those under

Criterion C will likely emphasize

physical characteristics. Criterion D

may emphasize associations with

events, trends, or individuals; representatives of a group, or physical

characteristics.

Consider:

• Physical characteristics such as

style, period, site or structural

type, size, scale, proportions, design, architectural details, method

of construction, siting, orientation, spatial arrangement or plan,

materials, workmanship, artistry,

and environmental relationships.

• Associative characteristics such

as the property's relationship to

important activities, persons, or

events, including information

such as dates, functions, role, cultural affiliations, relationship to

important research topics, and

the presence of natural features

or resources that helped determine location.

• Geographical information such as

the property's relationship to natural resources, climate, topographical features, and soil

conditions that may have been relied upon for industry, transportation, defense, or subsistence, or

that helped determine the siting,

location, form, design, function,

and materials of associated cultural resources.

• The likely nature of boundaries

for related properties and any special factors to be considered in selecting boundaries, such as the

likelihood of the resource to exist

in groups or in combination with

other significant property types

forming historic districts.

• Variations occurring within the

property type due to changing

cultural, chronological, or geographical influences.

14
GUIDELINES FOR SELECTING PROPERTY TYPES

In selecting property types, consider the following:

• Form, function, associations, events, or physical characteristics should

be considered in selecting and determining the name of a property

type.

• The selection should be based on a knowledge of the relevant historic

contexts, and then on whether or not the type is a manageable and efficient tool for evaluating eligibility for National Register listing.

• Property types may be defined to include resources that are associated with the general growth or prosperity influenced by the theme

and that are not directly resultant from the predominant theme of the

context.

• A property type may consist of one or more related structural types.

The property type, Carnegie libraries in Iowa, would only include library buildings, whereas, railroad-era buildings and structures in

Watrous could include commercial buildings, public buildings, residences, bridges, storage sheds, as well as railroad stations and freighthouses.

• The fullest extent of the significant historic values of a group of related resources should be considered. For example, discussion of a

round barn as a property type may concentrate on the resource's inherent architectural values while dairy farms and facilities recognizes a

broader spectrum of significant and interrelated architectural and historical values.

• A property type may include buildings, sites, structures, objects, historic districts, or any combination of these resources.

• Historic districts may be a separate property type or may be included

within a property type that combines it with other resources such as

buildings and sites.

• A property type may relate to one or more of the National Register

criteria.

• Base property types related to Criterion A on properties relating to an

event or chain of events important in illustrating the historic context.

• Base property types related to Criterion B on known properties associated with the productive life of a person important in the historic context.

• Base property types related to Criterion C on one or a group of the following:

1. Properties having common architectural style, period, or method of

construction.

2. The works of a master or related groups of masters.

3. Properties having common high artistic values.

4. Significant architectural features distinguishing one or more groups

of buildings or structures.

• Base property types related to Criterion D on one or a group of resources that are likely to yield important information about a common set of research questions important to the historic context.

1

 Locational patterns of the property type, that is generalizations

about the known or likely location, occurrence, and distribution

of examples representing the

property type.

• Condition or expected condition

of property types including:

1. Any inherent characteristics

that are likely to contribute to

or detract from its physical

condition.

2. Any aspects of the social and

natural environment that may

affect its preservation or visibility.

• Specific period of time and locations in which related properties

are believed or known to have existed.

PROPERTY TYPE

SIGNIFICANCE

In narrative form, state the significance of the property type as it relates to each historic context listed in

section B. The narrative should be a

concise and factual summary of information directly relating the property

type to:

• Important aspects of its historic

context.

• The various areas of significance

and criteria for which properties

may be listed in the National Register.

• Significance in national, State, or

local history.

Consider the following when discussing the significance of property

types under Criteria A and B:

• Important dates, events, activities, persons, associations, and developmental forces, trends, and

patterns relating the property

type to its relevant historic context.

• Any direct relationship of the

property type to major stages of

growth, pivotal events or activities, or personal associations characterizing the historic context.

15
The 1898 Birmingham Bridge was nominated to the National Register of Historic Places as

part of the Industrial Resources of Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania multiple property submission. Located in Birmingham, it is significant as "a fine example of one of the county's less

than ten remaining pin-connected Pratt through truss bridges built in the late 1800s." (Nancy

Shedd)

For properties significant under Criterion C, summarize the following:

• Principal types, styles, and methods of construction illustrated by

the property type and how these

relate to the overall historic context.

• Principal architects, artists, builders, craftsmen, designers, or landscape architects identified with

the introduction and development of the property type.

• Architectural characteristics, such

as scale, proportions, materials,

workmanship, stylistic details,

spatial arrangement, construction

techniques, and aesthetic quality,

that give examples of the property type their significance.

• Spatial relationships of resources

to each other and the environment, including set backs, street

plans, parks, squares, open

spaces, structural density, plantings, natural features, and landscape architecture, if these are

significant unifying features of

the property type.

For property types significant

under Criterion D, discuss the following:

• Related research topics, cultural

affiliations, general physical characteristics, and probable kinds of

important research data that link

the property type to its historic

context.

• Archeological, ethnographic, or

historic research already conducted or otherwise pertinent to

an understanding of the property

type.

• Important categories of information and related research topics

about which properties related to

the property type are likely to

yield information.

For property types meeting Criteria Considerations, including properties less than 50 years old, religious

properties, reconstructed and moved

properties, commemorative properties, cemeteries and graves, or birthplaces, explain how these properties

as a group meet the special requirements for listing called the for in the

National Register criteria considerations. (See National Register Bulletin:

How to Apply the National Register Criteria for Evauation for advice on criteria considerations.)

PROPERTY TYPE

REGISTRATION

REQUIREMENTS

State the registration requirements

based on the analysis of the data collected on the property type and

known related properties in relationship to the National Register criteria,

criteria considerations, and areas of

significance. The requirements

should provide specific information

that can be used for comparing actual

historic properties and for making

judgments about their relative significance. Registration requirements involve not just integrity, but how well

a specific property illustrates the

property type and how it relates to

the historic context.

Include the following in a discussion of registration requirements: the

physical characteristics, associative

qualities, or information potential

that an example of the property type

must possess to qualify for the National Register. This section should

specify the aspects of integrity (location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association)

and an explanation of how each aspect is defined for the specific property type. Base integrity requirements on an analysis of the property

type and its significant features and a

knowledge of representative properties and their relative integrity.

This section is intended to provide

information on the unifying characteristics of the property type. Information common to the properties is

placed in this section so that it need

not be repeated in each individual

National Register nomination.

16
EXAMPLES OF REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS

Name of property type: BRIGHT LEAF ERA FARMHOUSES AND TENANT HOUSES.

(The example is from the Historic and Architectural Resources ofGranville County multiple property submission prepared

by the North Carolina State historic preservation office and emphasizes rural qualities and features as key registration requirements.)

Basically traditional structures—the largest group of traditional structures in the county with the possible exception of outbuildings—the surviving bright leaf era rural dwellings will usually meet registration requirements because of their traditional forms, floor plans and materials. Stylistic concerns are limited, though some larger farmhouses will meet registration requirements because they display a significant number of Italianate, Victorian, Colonial Revival or bungalow style features. In general, to qualify for registration, the dwellings should retain a rural

setting and the forms, floor plans or materials that evoke their period of construction and the rural life of the time.

More numerous than their predecessors, they should also retain a significant degree of stylistic integrity, where a

style is present. The integrity of their association and feeling is greatly bolstered by the presence of contemporary

outbuildings or later outbuildings that display forms and functions similar to their predecessors, particularly outbuildings associated with the raising of Bright Leaf tobacco.

Name of property type: RESOURCES ASSOCIATED WITH TRANSPORTATION.

(The example is from the Industrial Resources of Huntingdon County multiple property submission prepared by the Pennsylvania State historic preservation office and emphasizes function and design completeness as key registration requirements.)

In order to qualify for listing, the transportation resources must have been used by the transportation industry

or by another industry for the transportation of county produced goods or the transportation of raw materials and

people. The properties must be intact examples of one of the identified subtypes: road resources, canal resources

or railroad resources. Many bridges associated with roads or railroads have been maintained or replaced in situ

before 1939 and are currently in use. Except where specified eligible transportation resources must have integrity

of location, design, setting, materials and association.

Subtype: road resources Road bridges are eligible under Criterion A in the area of transportation if they

served as important links in the local road network and in the transportation of goods, raw materials, or people

within the county. The historic materials, form and setting of the bridge must be intact.

In order to be eligible under Criterion C in the area of engineering a bridge must be an example of a bridge design that was important in the construction of bridges in Huntingdon County. Those properties eligible for engineering significance should be considered even if alterations to form and materials exist so long as the

significant engineering design is prominent and intact.

Subtype: canal resources The remains of canal right-of-way or structural components must be visually evident and any disturbance that may have occurred must not have compromised the potential for the site to yield

information relevant to the historic use or engineering of the site. Canal resources must retain integrity of location, design, materials and association. Canal resources eligible under Criterion A must be associated with an

important transportation route or industry in the county such as the Pennsylvania Canal. A portion of a canal

right-of-way must retain the visual appearance of an earthen ditch in order to be considered for eligibility under

Criterion A. For the same criterion, enough of the stone walls of a lock or dam must stand to represent the original function of the feature. Long planking which may have been associated with a canal resource need not remain in order for the resource to be considered for listing.

The abandonment of the canal has resulted in the natural deterioration of the individual components. In

order to be eligible under Criterion D, a canal resource must be able to yield information on the historic functions or engineering of the canal. Canal resources must also retain original materials, setting, and configuration

to be eligible under Criterion D.

17
Subtype: railroad resources The historic right-of-way completed by the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1850 for

the most part is presently in use by Conrail, thus the significant features associated with the operation of the

line have, by necessity, been subject to continuing maintenance, upkeep or replacement as necessary. Other railroad resources may be associated with local industry that operated rail lines as part of their operations such as

the East Broad Top Railroad by the Rockhill Iron and Coal Company.

In order to be eligible in the area of transportation under Criterion A railroad resources must be an important

link in the local railroad network or in the transportation of goods and people through or within Huntingdon

County. In order to be eligible in the area of industry under Criterion A, railroad resources must be associated

with a locally important industry such as the coal or coke industry. To be eligible in the area of engineering

under Criterion C, railroad resources must be an example of a bridge or tunnel design that was important in the

construction of bridges and tunnels in Huntingdon County; or be an example of engineering needed by railroad

companies in overcoming mountainous terrain in western Pennsylvania. As part of the Pennsylvania

Railroad's efforts to maintain or increase carrying capacity on bridges in Huntingdon County, the Pennsylvania

Railroad reinforced bridges in Huntingdon County with concrete during the first decades of the twentieth century. The concrete reinforcing is considered as contributing to the historic significance of these bridges; this reinforcing enabled the Pennsylvania Railroad to continue its important role in local and regional transportation to

1939. Pennsylvania Railroad tunnels similarly remain eligible for the National Register even though two of the

four tracks constructed at the turn of this century have been removed. The railroad track and bed remain eligible as long as the original alignment and grade of the bed and track have been maintained. The railroad track

and bed are eligible even though ties and rails may have been replaced; such replacements are considered essential to the continuing operation of the railroad line. Railroad resources were evaluated at the local level.

Warehouses constructed by the Pennsylvania Railroad must retain their proximity to the right-of-way as well

as their original design and construction material in order to be eligible under Criterion A for association with

the transportation industry. They may also exemplify the use of the railroad by a significant historic industry.

For railroad warehouses eligible under Criterion C for their engineering significance it is not necessary for them

to retain their original location as long as an appropriate setting is provided and engineering features have been

retained.

G. GEOGRAPHICAL DATA

G. Geographical Data

List all jurisdictions and geographical units or portions covered by the

multiple property group, including

the name of towns, cities, counties,

townships, parishes, multiple counties, areas of counties, and areas of

states or multiple states. The geographical data define the limits of the

area where properties included

within the multiple property group

exist or are likely to exist. Define political boundaries, route numbers,

road names, or topographical features as precisely as possible. Geographical data also may refer to section numbers, contour lines, or lines

drawn between UTM reference

points on USGS quadrangle maps.

State if the area is coterminous with

the limits of a political jurisdiction or

area, for example, Yellowstone National Park or the incorporated limits

of Columbus.

The geographical area covered by

the multiple property listing should

incorporate the area covered by its related historic contexts, but it does not

need to have the same boundaries.

EXAMPLES

The State of Washington

The corporate limits of the village of

Higginsport, Brown County, Ohio

The geographical area encompasses

the 19 National Forests in the Pacific Northwest Region (region 6) located in Oregon and Washington

The salt pond region extends across

the southern edge of Rhode Island.

Located within Washington County,

the area includes portions of Westerly, Charlestown, South Kingstown, and Narragansett. The

eastern boundary is Route 108 in

Narragansett; the western boundary

is the Pawtucket River; the southern

boundary is Block Island Sound; the

northern boundary generally is U.S.

Route 1. Exceptions to this northern boundary occur (1) at the intersection of U.S. Route 1 and Narrow

Lane. The boundary at this intersection follows the 60 foot contour line

north and west around Cross Mills

Pond, and (2) at the intersection of

U.S. Routes 1 and 1A in Westerly.

At this intersection, the boundary

turns southwest along Route 1A to

the Pawtucket River shoreline immediately adjacent to intersections of

Avondale Road and India Point

Road.

This cluster of agricultural buildings that make up the ca. 1899 Puckett Family Farm at

Satterwhite, Historic and Architectural Resources of Granville County, North Carolina has

been described as "one of the county's most significant bright leaf era rural properties, an intact

symbol of the way most of the county's citizenry led its life from the Civil War into the 1950s."

It was nominated to the National Register of Historic Places as part of the geographically-based

Granville County, North Carolina multiple property submission. (Marvin A. Brown)

20
EXAMPLE OF IDENTIFICATION AND EVALUATION METHODS

The multiple property listing of historic and architectural resources of Granville County, North Carolina, is

based upon a 1986 architectural resources inventory of the county, and a 1987 National Register nomination project, conducted by Marvin A. Brown and Patricia A. Esperon under the auspices of the Survey and Planning

Branch of the North Carolina Division of Archives and History. The inventory identified more than 525 properties

and groups of properties. Every passable road, public and private, leading to a known or suspected property was

driven during the inventory and every building marked on the USGS topographical maps for the county was

viewed. Properties from vernacular to high style were recorded, with emphasis given to age and rarity, and representativeness of types and styles. Every pre-Civil War property was recorded, as were the vast majority of properties predating the turn of the century. Those not recorded were passed over because of alterations that substantially damaged their integrity. Properties erected between 1900 and World War II were more selectively recorded,

with emphasis given to the more unaltered, unusual or particularly representative ones. For each recorded property, locations were noted on USGS topographical maps; photographs were taken; computerized inventory forms

were completed; research, including the checking of deeds and secondary sources and the taking of oral histories,

was conducted, and narrative architectural and historical descriptions were written. This work was conducted on

a full-time basis by Marvin Brown during 1986 and on a full-time basis for the last half of the year by Patricia Esperon. In 1987, both Brown and Esperon also worked full-time in the county, further researching the inventoried

properties and drafting National Register nominations.

The properties are grouped under three historic contexts that conform with the three major themes that best define the county and its properties: (1) the plantation era between the founding of the county and the Civil War; (2)

the influences of the raising of Bright Leaf tobacco on the development of rural Granville County between the

Civil War and World War II; (3) and the influence of the Bright Leaf during those years on the development of the

county seat of Oxford. The property types are organized chronologically by style and by function.

The survey identified a wide range of resources in the county spanning the years from the Revolutionary War to

World War II. Integrity requirements were based upon a knowledge of existing properties. The architectural and

physical features of the county's finer surviving properties, derived from the inventory, were considered in developing the outlines of potential registration requirements. The general statements about the lack of comprehensive

integrity of many properties are based upon knowledge of the deteriorated condition and tenuous position of

many of the county's rarest and most historically evocative and important properties. The total number of Granville County properties placed on the Study List for nomination to the National Register at the January 8,1987,

North Carolina Professional Review Committee meeting was 120 individual rural properties, five rural districts,

one large Oxford historic district and five individual Oxford properties. Approximately 90 percent of these study

list properties are dwellings and farms, with several grist mills, masonic lodges, churches, tobacco manufactories

and fraternal and commercial buildings making up the rest. The few nominated properties included with this

multiple property nomination are the first phase of nominations. They were chosen because they are exceptional

examples of important styles and types in the county and exceptionally evocative of historical ways of life in the

county. The nominated properties were limited to a small selection of inventoried properties because of budgetary and time limitations imposed by the National Register project under which this work has been performed.

Also because of budgetary and time constraints, the Historic District in Oxford was limited to the discrete core of

the town's oldest, finest and most significant properties.

Photographs and maps are generally not submitted with the cover

form, but are submitted with the individual property forms and should

meet the requirements for documentation accompanying them. However,

if several of the properties being registered are located in the same USGS

quadrant, the UTM references and locations of each can be marked on a

single USGS map included in the submission. Likewise, if several properties are in the same general location

and a city tax map, USGS, or plat map

is used to indicate property boundaries in place of a verbal boundary description, a single map identifying the

boundaries of each property may be

included, provided section 10 of each

registration form references the map.

If such maps are also used for a sketch

map, the boundaries and other information of several properties may be

indicated on a single area map included in the submission, provided

each registration form references the

map.

multiple property listing may be revised, refined, and expanded as new

information is gathered, new properties are identified, and changes in the

condition of related property types

are observed.

Completed registration forms for related properties may be submitted to

the National Register at the same

time or after the multiple property

form has been submitted, provided

all the procedures and requirements

set forth in 36 CFR Part 60 have been

met.

Documentation on the multiple

property form may also be updated,

revised, and added to at any time

upon the request of the State or Federal Historic Preservation Officer.

Changes may be made by:

• Submitting additional information on new continuation sheets,

or

• Providing a replacement form or

individual sheets where substantial changes are made in the text.

Continuation sheets and replacement forms, as well as any requests

for the removal of listed properties

must be certified by the Federal or

State Historic Preservation Officer
