Historic Preservation

Expert consulting on historic preservation including Local, State, and National Register Nominations, Determinations of Eligibility, and Historic Resource Surveys.

Determinations of Eligibility

For property owners, agencies, or consultants seeking clarity on eligibility, I prepare Determinations of Eligibility to assess whether a resource meets local, state, or National Register criteria of significance and historic integrity. A Determination of Eligibility provides an informed foundation for decision-making regarding preservation planning, compliance, or potential nominations.

Services Include:

• Evaluation of resources against State and National Register criteria;

• Assessment of historic significance and physical integrity;

• Preparation of documentation that may support future nominations or regulatory reviews.

Local, State, and National Register Nominations

I specialize in providing comprehensive preparation of nominations for local registers, state registers, and the National Register of Historic Places. Each nomination is carefully developed to document the architectural, historical, and cultural significance of a property or district. My work encompasses all aspects of the process, including archival research, field documentation, writing, and coordination with State Historic Preservation Offices.

Services Include:

• Preparation of complete nomination packages meeting State and National Park Service standards;

• Development of historic contexts through primary and secondary research;

• Documentation support, including photography and mapping (as needed);

• Coordination with SHPO staff throughout the review process.
