Ms. Sharp,

 

Thank you for your recent correspondence regarding historical designations. I am enclosing several attachments to assist your efforts.

 

For the Recorded Texas Historic Landmark (RTHL) designation, I have attached a Marker Research Guide for Houses and Buildings. This outlines the documentation and format requirements for an RTHL application. The application form will be available on our web site soon, and we will accept applications for the coming year from Nov. 1, 2007 through Jan. 15, 2008. You will need to coordinate your application with the Jefferson County Historical Commission. Contact information for Chair Ron Ellington and Marker Chair Yvonne Sutherlin is included below. Additional information on the RTHL application process can be found on our web site at http://www.thc.state.tx.us/markerdesigs/madmark.html.

 

For application requirements for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, you will need to contact Greg Smith, National Register Coordinator at the THC (512/463-6013, greg.smith@thc.state.tx.us). Information about the application process can be found on our web site at http://www.thc.state.tx.us/markerdesigs/madnr.html. Additional information about historical designations and other frequently asked questions can be found on our web site at http://www.thc.state.tx.us/faqs/faqmad.html#desdiff.

 

I have also attached information about the Texas Preservation Trust Fund of the Texas Historical Commission (see our web site at http://www.thc.state.tx.us/grantsincent/gratptf.html) and other foundations which fund historic preservation projects.

 

I hope this information helps answer your questions. Contact us if we can be of further assistance.
