National Register of Historic Places
The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of sites, buildings, structures, districts, and objects important in U.S. history. Each state has a preservation office which administers the National Register in their state. The Indiana Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology (DHPA) serves all residents of the State of Indiana.
​
Not every old building is eligible for listing in the National Register. To qualify, a resource should be at least 50 years old and have local, state, or national significance meeting the certain criteria.
