Structures deemed eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places must meet one of four criteria.​​

• A. The property must be associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history.

• B. The property must be associated with the lives of persons significant in our past.

• C. The property must embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, represent the work of a master, possess high artistic values, or represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction.

• D. The property must show, or may be likely to yield, information important to history or prehistory (U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service).

At IES Preservation, we are able to assist you with the application process for both the National Register of Historic Places and Texas Historic Landmarks. Listing on the National Register on the Texas Historic Landmarks provides public recognition of the structure deemed to have significant architectural merit, protection against federal actions through the Section 106 process, access to grants for historically significant buildings, as well as tax incentives for building improvements.

On a larger scale, we are also able to survey for potential historic resources within a certain boundary for historic district surveys.
