Uses and Use Restrictions

Properties recognized as National Historic Landmarks will, upon application by the owner or administrator, be awarded a bronze plaque attesting to the property's national significance.

At the same time, the applicant is requested to observe certain simple preservation precepts with regard to the property, but is not required by law to do so.

Should subsequent occurrences alter the historic qualities of the property, National Historic Landmark status may be revoked by the Secretary of the Interior and the plaque removed.

Automatic listing of National Historic Landmark properties in the National Register of Historic Places affords a degree of Federal protection under Section 106 of the Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, and fulfills one of the prerequisites for Federal assistance under the National Register grants-in-aid program (see 15.904) and the Certain National Historic landmarks are also made eligible for Federal tax benefits and protections and technical preservation assessment and assistance.

Properties must meet the eligibility requirements specified for National Historic Landmarks in 36 CFR 65.4.
