The National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) is a list of districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects in the United States that are designated for historic preservation. It is maintained by the National Park Service, a sub-agency of the federal Department of the Interior, and recognizes over 98,000 properties for their historic significance, artistic value, or other qualities.[1] [2] The listing does not place restrictions on the use or fate of properties unless they receive federal funding or other assistance,[3] but does include tax credits for maintenance and rehabilitation of eligible sites.[4] [5]
The NRHP has 1,500 listings in Washington and 50 that are partially or wholly within Snohomish County.[6] These properties include historic buildings in cities, fire lookouts in the Cascade Mountains, farms, monuments, and a ship.[7] __TOC__
