Process Required for Placement on the National
Register
The first step
in an Arkansas property's being placed on the National
Register is the filing of a Determination of Eligibility
application with the Department of Arkansas Heritage in Little
Rock. This form requires the home owner to respond to a
number of specific questions, supplying information that
allows the National Register historians in the state capital
to determine if, indeed, the property is eligible for the
National Register.
Based on this
document, referred to as a DOE, state historians judge first
whether a site inspection is warranted, and, if so, two state
historians visit the property. Their recommendation
about the building's eligibility is presented to the entire
department, the group that makes the final
decision.
If the property
is deemed eligible, the owner then completes a registration
form, again responding to specific criteria. These two
documents, the Determination of Eligibility Application and
the National Register Registration Form, for the McClure
Highfill Home in Paragould, Arkansas, appear on the links
accessed below. |
