Survey and Determination of National Register
Eligibility (DOE)
Everyday, municipalities nationwide demonstrate that historic preservation is a vital and necessary tool for creating sustainable communities. Properties determined eligible for listing in the National Register, or in a state or local register, may be eligible for grants and tax incentives that provide additional financing to make revitalization efforts a reality. Many communities use the identification of historic buildings and the evaluation of their historical significance as a tool to help prioritize short-term and long-term planning efforts and to focus public dollars on strengthening areas of the community that reflect a shared history. Clients undertake survey and DOE projects for a variety of reasons -- to create a database of resources for use during planning; as a preliminary step to creating a National Register historic district; as part of a Part 1 historic tax credit application; or to satisfy the historic resource identification requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.
Surveys completed by Rosin Preservation staff have ranged in size from a few dozen buildings to hundreds of buildings and have addressed geographical clusters of resources as well as resources linked by a common theme (such as the resources built along Route 66 or in conjunction with New Deal-era programs). When conducting historic resource surveys, Rosin Preservation records each property’s date of construction, style, materials, integrity, and other physical attributes. Rosin Preservation also photographs each property and conducts archival research to understand the history and significance of the individual properties and of the survey area as a whole. All of the information is entered into a Microsoft Access database. Following the guidelines presented in National Register Bulletin 15: How to Apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation, Rosin Preservation uses the database to analyze the survey information and to identify National Register-eligible properties and historic districts. An illustrated survey report summarizes the findings and provides recommendations for the client to pursue additional preservation activities.
