NOTE: Convinced of eligibility based on preliminary data, a state review committee adds a property to the Study List as the first step toward National Register designation. The second step is preparation of an in-depth report on the architecture, landscape, and history of the property (a nomination), which is then reviewed at the state and federal levels. Property owners generally hire a professional architectural historian to prepare the nomination. For further information, contact the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office.
