CRITERIA AND EVALUATING <br />All properties are evaluated in terms of historical significance, architectural merit and <br />integrity. Each resource was evaluated by a professional using the National Register <br />Criteria for Evaluation. The three main criteria are: <br />1) Historic Significance: An association with exploration and settlement, <br />Commercial or Industrial development and or the attachment to the lives <br />of important people. <br />2) Architectural Merit: Representative of a particular architectural style. <br />3) Integrity: Determine how much of the original historic fabric remains <br />by looking at any extensive alterations, such as the installation of synthetic <br />siding, removal of architectural features, additions or structural <br />modifications, all of which could lowering the property's rating. <br />After consideration of the above factors a rating was assigned, they are: <br />1) Outstanding: property has enough historic or architectural significance that it <br />is or should be listed on the National Register by itself. <br />2) Significant: property does not quite merit an outstanding rating, but is still <br />above average in its importance and may be eligible for the National Register. <br />3) Contributing_ property meets the basic inventory criterion of being at least <br />fifty years old, but that is not important enough to stand on its own as <br />individually outstanding or significant. <br />It is stated in the city survey that ratings are to be viewed as advisory recommendations <br />based on information available at the time of the survey and any changes in location, <br />sensitive restoration, additional research, extensive physical damage or inappropriate <br />remodeling could affect the rating at a later date. <br />
