Register of Historic Places (NRHP) is the United States government's
official list of districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects
deemed worthy of preservation. A property listed in the National
Register, or located within a National Register Historic District, may
qualify for tax incentives derived from the total value of expenses
incurred preserving the property. The passage of the National Historic
Preservation Act (NHPA) in 1966 established the National Register and
the process for adding properties to it. Of the more than one million
properties on the National Register, 80,000 are listed individually. The
remainder are contributing resources within historic districts. Each
year approximately 30,000 properties are added to the National Register
as part of districts or by individual Listings.
