National Register of Historic Places

National Register of Historic Places (NRHP)

The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 created the National Register of Historic Places to identify, honor and protect our nation's historic and pre-historic resources. It is a national record of buildings, sites, structures and objects certified by the Secretary of the Interior to possess national, state or local significance. To qualify, a property must represent an important facet of U.S. history, architecture, archeology, engineering, or culture; and retain integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association.

Listing a building on the National Register does not place any requirements on a private owner and does not trigger local review of building alterations unless Federal funds are used, or demolition is involved.

For more information about the Register and the requirements for listing a property contact the Missouri State Historic Preservation Office.
