- A property listed on the National Register of Historic Places as provided in the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966;
- A resource at which events occurred that have made an outstanding contribution to, and are identified prominently with, or which best represent some important aspect of cultural, political, economic, military, or social history;
- A resource associated significantly with the lives of outstanding historic personages;
- A resource representative of elements of architectural or landscape design or craftsmanship with embody distinctive characteristics of a type inherently valuable for study of a period, style or method of construction or development, or a notable work of an influential architect, landscape architect, designer, or builder.
