Reviews

The National Register of Historic Places is the federal government's official list of properties deemed worthy of preservation. The list is maintained by the National Park Service in Washington. To be listed, the owner of a building must submit an application, and this is a complete handbook for carrying out the application procedure. From researching the history of the house to completing the nominating forms (samples of which are reproduced here), Greenberg illuminates the entire path to listing. A helpful public library item.
