Criteria for Evaluation

The National Register's standards for evaluating the significance of properties generally more than 50 years old were developed to recognize the accomplishments of all peoples who have made a significant contribution to our country's history and heritage. The criteria are designed to guide State and local governments, Federal agencies, and others in evaluating potential entries in the National Register.

 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.
