This data is used by the State Historic Preservation Office of Iowa to evaluate a property’s potential eligibility to be listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The inventory items assist with identifying and locating a property, explaining how it meets one or more of the National Register criteria, and making a case for historic significance and integrity.  \nThe Iowa Site Inventory Form is also used for preparing documentation for potential historic districts, applying for the State Tax Credit Program (see specific guidance on completing the site inventory form for the State Historic Tax Credit program), and evaluating properties for Section 106 requirements. Applicants can also transfer the data to the National Register of Historic Places registration form.  \nFor more guidance on evaluating historic resources and writing narrative descriptions and statements of significance, see the National Register Bulletin 16A: How to Complete the National Register Form, available from the National Park Service.  \nGuidelines  \nRead these instructions carefully before completing the form, to ensure accuracy and completeness. Complete one form for each building on a property. This allows historians to compare and locate similar properties to facilitate statewide historic research and understanding. A building is defined as any shelter built principally to house human activity. Examples include houses, barns, stables, sheds, garages, courthouses, city halls, commercial buildings, libraries, factories, schools, and theaters. Use a computer to enter information into the form. Continuation Sheets (the last page of the form) should be used to“continue” information that does not fit within the first two pages of the form.  \n● State inventory number (top right-hand corner): Leave blank and check the box marked New, unless:  \n1) the property has already been assigned an inventory number and is being re-evaluated. If so, check the box marked Supplemental. 2) this is part of a historic survey that includes a separate survey report. In that case, contact the SHPO statewide inventory coordinator [Berry.Bennett@iowa.gov](Berry.Bennett@iowa.gov) to obtain a 7-digit site number for each property; include the full street address.  \n● Review & compliance number: Leave blank.  \n● Non-extant: Check the box and indicate the year the building was demolished if a building is torn down after being inventoried or a site form is used to compile information about a building that no longer exists.  \nName of Property  \nA. Historic name: If the building is listed in the National Register of Historic Places or a historic district, include the existing historic property name. If no historic property name has been previously recorded, enter the name that best reflects the property’s historic importance or the name that was commonly used for the property during the period of significance. Example: Zep’s Café, Younker’s Warehouse, orJacob Brown Farm.  \nB. Other names: Enter any other names by which the property has been commonly known.  \nIOWA DEPARTMENT OF CULTURAL AFFAIRS  \nSTATE HISTORICAL BUILDING • 600 E. LOCUST ST. • DES MOINES, IA 50319 • IOWACULTURE. GOV  \nLocation  \nA. Street address: Enter the name and number of the street or road where the property is located. A 911 address is acceptable, but do not enter rural routes. Instead, enter the highway or road number followed by distance from the nearest town or junction of roads. Example: Hwy 61, 1 mi. S. of jctJ48.  \nB. City or town: For a property located in an unincorporated area, enter the name of the nearest city or town and check the box marked Vicinity. Then enter the name of the county where the property is located.  \nC.
