National Register

Historic preservation catalog

The National Register of Historic Places is the official U.S. government list of buildings, sites, and structures deemed worthy of preservation.

Properties on the register receive certain protections and may qualify for tax incentives.

The courthouse was added to the National Register in 1978.

Often shortened to just "the Register" in preservation contexts.
