NRIS information issues identifies possible errors and other issues in the National Register Information System (NRIS) database. This is a working page to detail information system glitches, factual inconsistencies, and potential factual errors in official information regarding properties and districts listed on the National Register of Historic Places of the United States. It is hoped that this recording may facilitate discussion, correspondence with the National Park Service/National Register, and corrections.

Please do not include here what appear to be errors at nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com — that site contains many errors, especially in its consistently yielding area figures for historic districts that are ten times the actual size. This is the result of that website misinterpreting the data from the NRIS.

Types of issues[edit]

Discrepances between NRIS database as downloaded vs. "Weekly Listings" announcements[edit]

  • For example, for James H. Bounds Barn, in Marshall County, Oklahoma, the only item covering it in NRIS2013a version, as reported in NRHP infobox generator (by checking off "may not actually be listed" checkbox), which actually is supposted to cover up to September 30, 2014 afaik, is just an "DR" entry, which i think means some documentation is received, and it reflects the assignment of a reference number. It does NOT include the actual listing in December 2013 as reported in the Weekly Listings announcment ( "Weekly listings". National Park Service. December 27, 2013. ) and reported in the Featured listing announcement for this site ( "James H. Bounds Barn". Retrieved October 1, 2019. ). This later listing does use the same reference number. I think the NRIS2013a database somehow has just the initial, "DR" event. Do later versions of NRIS have both or does the actual listing replace the "DR" event?
  • In Wikipedia, the National Register of Historic Places listings in Marshall County, Oklahoma page was updated by User:Ebyabe and User:Ipoellet to reflect the December 2013 announcements (and even to add coordinates based on consulting the NRHP registration document and using Google satellite view, I assume). I am afraid there is a discrepancy now between what Wikipedia shows (including this item) vs. what NRIS might show (not including it). --Doncram (talk) 21:49, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Changes implemented into NRIS directly, adjusting previous items, not reflected in any "Weekly Listings" announcement[edit]

There are several known instances of National Park Service making "corrections" by simply adjusting NRIS, but not reporting on that change by including it into a new Weekly announcement list, confound Wikipedia's coverage, which follows the weekly announcements. Some of these have been covered in wt:NRHP discussion previously. --Doncram (talk) 21:49, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Demolished properties apparently still listed[edit]

In many cases a building remains listed on the National Register even though the building was completely demolished. There may be a few cases where the National Register gives a street address where there is no building, while in fact the building still exists. It could be the wrong address, or in rare cases the historic building may have been moved to a different location, as happened for one case in Pasadena, California. doncram (talk) 20:30, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In 2022, starting Category:Demolished but still listed on the National Register of Historic Places. If a building has been demolished but there has been no status change reported in weekly listings by the National Park Service, then let's categorize these. There are so many. They should also receive categories Category:Demolished buildings and structures in STATE and Category:Buildings and structures demolished in YEAR, as for Rose Building (Fairbanks, Alaska), for example. --Doncram (talk) 12:47, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Listing and delisting dates[edit]

The NRIS is an authoritative source on NRHP listing dates, but even in this topic there are issues: this discussion "Shortest time on Register" at wt:NRHP details a good number of listings for January 1, 19XX of various years that really apparently mean "some unknown date in the year 19XX". --doncram 18:11, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Correspondence with the National Register[edit]

  • The National Register has previously corrected NRIS or related webpages in response to error reports on other occasions. For example, an incorrect URL in the current Weekly Listings National Register's "Weekly Featured Listing" , at http://www.nps.gov/history/nr/nrlist.htm, was fixed today, on Wednesday September 3. Or at least it was fixed, and I received an email reporting it today. This was in response to a report I sent in during the weekend (and Monday was a holiday too). doncram (talk) 18:02, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also, the National Park Service has corrected other information, such as an incorrect address for a building in Syracuse, apparently reported after a photo of the building at that address was posted in wikipedia. And it addressed a mis-identification of the wrong building in New York City (Florence Mills House) as a National Historic Landmark, by de-designating the building and removing it from the National Register on January 16, 2009.
The NR_RT reports has reviewed those 20, has submitted fixes to be input into NRIS for 19 of them. I note which those are, below. While the changes will be input into NRIS shortly, the NRIS database is only republished a few times per year, so it is not yet known when the fixes will be apparent on-line. They prefer to get error reports batched by state, to facilitate checking with the state in cases needing that. I'll submit more batches by state. doncram (talk) 00:03, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've now submitted six batches
  • batch01: 20 name issues
  • batch02: 45 coordinates issues
  • batch03: 73 name issues
  • batch04: 29 town issues
  • batch05: 19 county issues
  • batch06: 26 street address issues
I think that totals to 214 items reported. doncram (talk) 21:42, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Update, April 27, 2009: The National Register has verified 66 corrections needed, based on our reports, and is implementing those. Further corrections being researched. Their internal Word document covering the 66 is in tabular format, with column headings "State", "RefNo", "Property name", "Typo", "Correction", and another column for their use. It would probably be most helpful if we presented new batches in that tabular format. doncram (talk) 19:38, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Update: on September 3, I received an update that they are addressing batch04 now, and hope to do another batch before the end of this month. It is slow going, but I believe they appreciate our efforts to identify corrections and will eventually respond to all that we submit. doncram (talk) 00:03, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Achmester is said to be on "Route 429 one mile east of Route 896". Delaware seems to have vastly reduced the use of state route numbers of late, and it's possible the reference to Route 896 was always wrong (though it might have been double-posted with US 301 at one time).

Albert Ely Ives and "DeArmond, Asmead and Bickley". The latter is correctly named DeArmond, Ashmead and Bickley, with correct "Ashmead" rather than "Asmead". The NRIS entry is based on typo in the NRHP nomination document (https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/GetAsset/NRHP/98001098_text) that gives incorrect spelling in one place but gives correct spelling elsewhere.

  • Buster Meat Market, which was located at about 250 Main Ave in Challis, no longer existed by 2008, per note at National Register of Historic Places listings in Custer County, Idaho. It was a one-story stone building like Challis Cold Storage (located at about 300 Main Ave), and I wonder if it was destroyed in the same earthquake, or demolished soon after. The Challis Cold Storage collapse killed two children, apparently, and this might have posed similar danger. --doncram 14:13, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Priestly's Hydraulic Ram, refnum 75000631, in Idaho. As explained in its article, this apparently no longer exists:

    Idaho Power Company senior archaeologist Shane Baker said: "It may have been taken apart and salvaged for parts. Or moved somewhere else, or perhaps abandoned in place. To my knowledge, no one has ever found any remnants of the facility. The exact location for the ram is unknown, and it may be possible that the first hydroelectric plant built at Thousand Springs in 1912 may have been built over top of the location of the old ram." ( Virginia Hutchins; Tetona Dunlap (June 26, 2016). "Expert's guide to the Hagerman reach: part 1". MagicValley.Com. )

Also, it's exact original location is not known, though it was pretty surely in the area of Thousand Springs State Park.

There are more usages of Nisbet than Nesbit in NRIS2013a, and the usage of "Nesbit" in NRHP documents can be understood as accidental, where the nominator did not have familiarity with the architect. For example the Kimberly High School NRHP document is a case where the name is given once only in the "architect/builder" field in section 8, and not used otherwise; the NRHP document author did not show (and did not need to show) familiarity with this architect, so easily could get the spelling wrong. And same for the NRHP document for Sterry Hall. On the other hand, the NRHP document for Payettes Lakes Club, which provides biographical information and career overview for the person, consistently uses name "Nisbet" 11 times. "Nisbet" is used in at least 6 NRHP listings, including for example, NRHP document for Harrison Boulevard Historic District where it is used twice. It is clear to me that "Nisbet" is the correct spelling. --Doncram (talk) 00:27, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • "The Stephenson County Courthouse that was listed on the NRHP isn't standing any longer, in fact it was replaced decades ago. The Register just missed it, Illinois' IHPA, the state preservation office, does not list it in its NRHP properties for Stephenson County....I can provide links above if needed but the photographic evidence compiled at Category:Soldiers' Monument (Freeport, Illinois) shows the location of the old courthouse and illustrates that it is no longer there. The current courthouse was built in the mid-1970s and per NRHP rules would be ineligible for listing, so there's no chance that is the building the NPS listing is referring to. The old courthouse was quite beautiful, I have seen photos, but it is, alas, gone forever." --Noted by IvoShandor at Talk:National Register of Historic Places listings in Stephenson County, Illinois (exerpt of IvoShandor's comments copied here by doncram)
  • Chris Jensen Round Barn: "In addition, I am almost 100% positive the Chris Jensen Round Barn is no longer standing. If it is it is NOT at the location the NRHP lists. I used the location map included with the nomination materials in my search for it. I found every single other listed round barn in Stephenson County but could not find the Jensen Round Barn. There's a chance it's overgrown, or part of it is standing in its location. If anyone has any information to confirm my first-hand (original) research please note it here. For now I am going to leave it listed. The IHPA informed me that they are trying to alleviate some of the problems in the HAARGIS database which lists on the NRHP properties with links to their nomination materials, so maybe when those changes go online the updated list will reflect its loss. If it was delisted, the NPS would have documentation of that somewhere.--IvoShandor (talk) 07:17, 24 July 2009 (UTC)" --Noted by IvoShandor at Talk:National Register of Historic Places listings in Stephenson County, Illinois (exerpt of IvoShandor's comments copied here by doncram)[reply]

  • Cato District No. 4 School in rural Crawford County, Kansas is listed at 720th Avenue and 200th Street in Cato: these two roads don't meet. Check Google Maps to follow Highway 69 north from Pittsburg until it meets 720th, and you'll see that 720th Avenue doesn't exist between 180th and 210th Streets. On the other hand, the same address appears at this Kansas State Historical Society page, which includes a picture and a short description of the school. I wonder if it's perhaps shown on the Mapquest aerial photo map: go to this Mapquest page, scroll southward along 200th a couple of miles after it bends eastward and then southward again; the site I'm wondering about is the buildings just south of point where it turns directly southward again, where you can see a few buildings on both sides of the road (almost where the two roads would meet if they continued). Elkman doesn't list the school in the county table generator, while plugging the ID number (06000771) into the infobox generator gives no coords, and the resulting page says "Note: This property may not actually be listed on the National Register - listing code is DR". The Wisconsin Historical Society has a copy of the 8 September 2006 listings here, which includes the school, but the official listings page doesn't have it.

Montana: architecture[edit]

The Hester E. Suydam Boarding House, at 209 W. River St. in Fromberg, Montana, built in 1907 is recorded in NRIS as having architecture: Four Square. That is consistent with a note in its registration document, but the building does not appear to be American Four Square at all. It is not square. It does not have four-way or any type of symmetry. It does have dormer windows, which is common in the style, but it has two on one side and one on another, as can be seen in nomination photos. The text of the document does not mention "Four Square", it only appears as a database-type entry for "Architectural Classification" as "Other: One-and-one-half story Four Square" (which appears to be wrong). Also the text description calls it a two-story building with a one-and-a-half-story extension, also inconsistent there. So, the Wikipedia article now carries no mention of "Four Square"; it should be dropped from NRIS. --Doncram (talk) 20:17, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The name appears in the NRHP nomination doc, but that appears to be an error, as if the form was partially filled out for a different post office. There is no mention of this post office in other coverage of Bunn, as far as I can tell. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992 as U.S. Post Office-Red Cloud, with refnum = 92000474.

Further, looking now at the MPS document by Carol Ahlgren, it is completely clear that Bunn did not have association with Red Cloud post office.

There have been a few others at least.

New Mexico: address restricted unnecessarily?[edit]

A number of places listed in July and December 1990, including houses and the Mora Historic District, within National Register of Historic Places listings in Mora County, New Mexico seem to have been inappropriately identified as "Address restricted", so NRHP docs are not available for them. Note the Mora Historic District includes NRHP-listed St. Vrain Mill among a total of 70 contributing buildings on 41 acres. Some of these covered by Historic and Architectural Resources of the Upland Valleys MPS, which shows some redactions (probably unnecessary). How is the village of Mora supposed to proceed with its development, discussed in that MPS, if it is secret what properties are covered in NRHP and may be eligible for historic renovation grants? These are not archeological dig sites! I went ahead sometime to create Daniel Cassidy House, about a hipped cottage, with skimpy sources. The NRHP docs are not available, but should be. I just spot-checked for whether docs are available at NP Gallery search site, find there has been no change, they are not available. The ones that appear wrongly classified are:

Perhaps there are more. Note from the MPS: "The repository for all of the inventory materials is the Historic Preservation Division of the New Mexico Office of Cultural Affairs in Santa Fe, New Mexico." --Doncram (talk) 04:59, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Like, I presume that the historic area of Anton Chico is publicly known, though presumably not the exact borders of the historic district because of the withholding of information by the restriction, but doesn't that defeat the purpose of historic designation? --Doncram (talk) 17:44, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

For example, Orangeburg township was largely German and is the genesis of Orangeburg, South Carolina (Edgar, Walter, ed., South Carolina Encyclopedia, p. 973, 2006).
    • Later, some/all (?) counties were laid out in townships. See Acts of the General Assembly of South-Carolina, 1886, p. 702 for a reference to Landsford Township.

  • Holy Fellowship Episcopal Church (refnum 75001712) in Charles Mix County is apparently no longer extant. The nom form describes its location as "SE of Greenwood", on Section 26, with UTM coordinates. The topo map at mapper.acme.com shows a church in the very southwest corner of Section 26, near the eastern edge of Greenwood, north of the road that runs parallel to the river and west of the north-south road past the Holy Fellowship cemetery. A ground search turned up no churches in that area; no churches along the north-south road; and no churches along the river road east and southeast of Greenwood. There are two churches in Greenwood, both south of the river road, and neither matching the photos in the nom form. Ammodramus (talk) 00:25, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

South Dakota: architects, builders, engineers issues[edit]

There seems to be complete confusion about prominent Sioux Falls architect Joseph Schwarz or Joseph Schwartz (architect), currently the same wikipedia article.

NRIS gives:

Joseph Schwartz
  1. Carnegie Free Public Library, built 1903, 235 W. 10th St., Sioux Falls, SD (Schwartz,Joseph), NRHP-listed
  2. First Methodist Church, 302 S. Carroll St., Rock Rapids, IA (Schwartz,Joseph), NRHP-listed
  3. Holy Rosary Church, Minnesota Ave., Kranzburg, SD (Schwartz,Joseph), NRHP-listed
  4. Immaculate Conception Catholic Church and Rectory, 102 and 108 E 9th St., St. Helena, NE (Schwartz, Josef), NRHP-listed
  5. Lyon County Courthouse, 3rd and Story Sts., Rock Rapids, IA (Schwartz,Joseph), NRHP-listed
  6. Pipestone Public Library, 3rd St., SE and S. Hiawatha Ave., Pipestone, MN (Schwartz,Joseph), NRHP-listed
  7. Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church Complex, 106 W. 889th Rd., Bow Valley, NE (Schwartz, Josef), NRHP-listed
  8. St. Mary's Church, School and Convent, U.S. 212, Zell, SD (Schwartz,Joseph), NRHP-listed
  9. Washington High School, 315 S. Main, Sioux Falls, SD (Schwartz,Joseph), NRHP-listed
Joseph Schwarz
  1. One or more works in Augustana College Historic Buildings, 29th and S. Summit Sts., Sioux Falls, SD (Schwarz,Joseph), NRHP-listed
  2. Carpenter Hotel, 221 S. Phillips Ave., Sioux Falls, SD (Schwarz,Joseph), NRHP-listed
  3. Central Fire Station, 100 S. Minnesota Ave., Sioux Falls, SD (Schwarz,Joseph), NRHP-listed
  4. First Congregational Church, 303 S. Dakota Ave., Sioux Falls, SD (Schwarz,Joseph), NRHP-listed
  5. Jorden Hall, 1101 W. 22nd St., Sioux Falls, SD (Schwarz, Joseph), NRHP-listed
  6. Madison Masonic Temple, 229 N. Egan Ave., Madison, SD (Schwarz,Joseph,Sr.), NRHP-listed
  7. Moody County Courthouse, Pipestone Ave. between Crescent and Wind Sts., Flandreau, SD (Schwarz,Joseph), NRHP-listed
  8. Vermillion-Andrew Carnegie Library, 12 Church St., Vermillion, SD (Schwarz,Joseph), NRHP-listed

I currently think the correct spelling is Schwarz. --doncram 01:21, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

About architect George Issenhuth, there are two NRIS errors:

  • Brookings City Hall, 4th St. Brookings, SD is credited in NRIS to "Huron, Issenhuth", while it was in fact designed by George Issenhuth of Huron.
  • Dairy Building, Off Third St. near the South Dakota State Fair Grounds Huron, SD is credited to "Issenhute,George" which has typo in architect name. Should be "Issenhuth" not "Issenhute". --Doncram (talk) 06:56, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wisconsin: dates of significance[edit]

  • NRIS has wrong dates of significance for four schools designed by architect Henry Wildhagen. The four were listed together, supported by Stauffer, Eugene; Barbara Wyatt; Diane Filipowicz (December 22, 1979). "Henry Wildhagen Schools of Ashland Thematic Resources". National Register of Historic Places Inventory - Nomination. National Park Service. Retrieved February 15, 2017.. The 2010 version of NRIS gave 1899 as a date of significance for some or all, while 1895 was given in a previous version of NRIS (can be seen in edit history of articles citing previous NRIS in infobox). Confusion derives from the thematic resources document noting that the four schools were built in 1895, 1899, 1900, and 1904, according to school records, without distinguishing which (page 5). However, Beaser School was 1899-built (stated on page 4). Ashland Middle School was the "finally produced" one (page 5), hence must be 1904-built. Ellis is "closest in age" to the middle school (page 4), so it must be the 1900 one. Wilmarth is noted to have been built in 1895 (page 3). So the schools and correct dates of construction are:

To check what is in Elkman NRHP generator (based on NRIS download as of 4/2008), search Elkman NRHP generator here. However, it seems to be a feature of Elkman NRHP generator not to show delisted entries when search by name, but to show them when search by refnum (which you'd have to know from somewhere else).

Searching the NRIS at nps.gov for Claremont in CA returns nothing, but I found it in the new listings dated 5/30/2003. Is there a good way to find out if it's been removed for some reason?

Location issues[edit]

There are some location issues introduced by use of the Elkman county-table generator in our "table-izing" of lists such as List of Registered Historic Places in Suffolk County, New York. For Suffolk County, the Montauk Point Lighthouse shows in the Elkman-table as being in East Hampton, because NRIS shows East Hampton as the nearest city (as is shown also in the Elkman individual NRHP infobox for it). The Elkman-table appears to use best-available location info, which in some cases is the "nearest city". I don't think there is any way to improve upon that centrally; it requires local expertise like DanTD in Suffolk provides to put in a more accurate location into the table, for a specific site. DanTD corrected the lighthouse's location to show as Montauk, New York. Montauk's wikipedia article describes it as a hamlet and a Census-designated place now; perhaps it was even less than that when the lighthouse was listed on the NRHP. I think showing East Hampton in the table, although not precisely accurate, is a better start than providing no location info if NRIS gives only a "nearest city" location. doncram (talk) 00:11, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Coordinates issues[edit]

UPDATE: NOTE: COORDINATES CORRECTIONS probably are not worth noting here. See discussion at #Connecticut: creoordinates doncram (talk) 06:39, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There may be a number of cases where bad coordinates in the NRIS database provided via Elkman's system (which generates starter county tables and the individual NRHP infoboxes) are given, usually due to bad NRIS info, but also perhaps sometimes due to potential glitches in Elkman's merger of NRIS coordinates with other NRIS info. If there are merger errors, maybe the NRIS coordinates file is lacking sufficient detail to support proper mergers, which would be a different kind of error.

I'm submitting 45 instances of coordinates issues in a batch to the NPS, am noting code numbers for each one submitted. Will report back about corrections made and/or feedback about what is useful for NPS to receive in a report. doncram (talk) 18:52, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Slob Historic District's location is mis-identified in NRHP document and in separate NPS webpage about it (in the "Travel" webpage series?). Its coordinates are not given in NRIS2013a, which says only that it is near Christiansted (which is correct). Its refnum = 87001929. Slob Historic District was a large sugar plantation. The estate included a factory building, a water mill tower, a great house built around 1750, and a slave village. Slaves were emancipated in 1848, and the estate declined and was largely used for grazing sheep and cattle. There were riots and the plantation was burned in 1878, per "travel" webpage.
It has also been known as Estate Slob, as Body Slob, and as Slob. NRHP doc: Betty Ausherman; William Chapman; Claudette Lewis (November 10, 1984). "National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Slob Historic District / Estate Slob; Body Slob; Slob". National Park Service. Retrieved June 3, 2019. With accompanying 26 photos from 1979-85.
Per "travel webpage ("Slob Historic District". National Park Service. ), the district includes the Great House and five slave cottages from the late 1700s and two from the early 1800s in the slave village. The slave village was the birthplace of Cyril King, the island of St. Croix's first native-born governor. The district also includes the stables and an 1840s factory building.[1]
It is located north of Centerline Rd., about 6 miles (9.7 km) west of Christiansted, on the east side of a cemetery.
About location: Both the NRHP document and the NPS webpage state, incorrectly, that the site is 6 miles west of Frederiksted. Frederiksted is on the western coast of St. Croix however and west of it is out at sea. Slob is in fact 6 miles west of Christiansted. Based on sketch map and description of location in the NRHP document, and Google maps identification of "Slob Historic District" (17°43′52″N 64°46′48″W / 17.731119°N 64.779882°W / 17.731119; -64.779882 (Location per Google Maps of "Slob Historic District")), it is located on what Google Maps terms "Route 69", which runs north from Centerline Rd. (Route 69 may or may not be U.S. Virgin Islands Highway 69 (currently a redlink) in the highways listed at List of United States Virgin Islands highways.) According to OpenSource map, that would be VI 633 (so perhaps U.S. Virgin Islands Highway 663). Adjacent, to the west , is the north end of the large Kingshill Cemetery. The estate was visible from Centerline Rd. when the NRHP document was written, but is obscured by trees by 2016. The tower is directly on Route 69, on the east side of the road, at exactly 17°43′56″N 64°46′48″W / 17.732101°N 64.779879°W / 17.732101; -64.779879 (Tower ruin) as determined by Google Streetview to match photo in the NRHP document. The windmill ruin at top of hill in the estate appears to be the structure at exactly 17°43′52″N 64°46′48″W / 17.731230°N 64.780115°W / 17.731230; -64.780115 (Windmill ruin), which is visible in Google satellite view and is visible by Google Streetview from ground level in housing complex parking lot to the north. The Great House appears to be the structure at exactly 17°43′52″N 64°46′50″W / 17.731012°N 64.780477°W / 17.731012; -64.780477 (Great House).

Notes[edit]

Table issues[edit]

The Elkman table-generator sometimes omits rows from tables it generates. Why? For example

Cosman Family Cemetery is actually in Orange County, New York, not Onondaga County, New York. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 16:06, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, and yes, I was concluding that myself, after putting the coordinates into the Onondaga County list-article and seeing where they pointed to. Have removed from the Onondaga county list-article and confirmed it's covered in Orange County's list-article. And now I can't see why it had appeared the place was in Syracuse or in Onondaga County, and hence why it was included in the Onondaga County list article. Up until earlier today did the NRHP infobox generator show it in Syracuse somehow, but now the underlying data has been changed? I do notice the NRHP.COM system shows it in neither Onondaga County nor Orange County NRHP.COM listings, so I think there is some error within the NRIS data, yet to be corrected there. doncram (talk) 20:20, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Owner objections, and delistings[edit]

Or perhaps it is listed, erroneously, by NRIS in a different county (so it could also show up in a different Elkman county list-table)? As may have been the case for Cosman Family Cemetery, discussed just above. doncram (talk) 01:52, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Its listing status is "Determined eligible/Owner objection". In other words, it was nominated, but the owner objected to having it listed on the National Register. I should look into updating the infobox generator to query the listing status. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 02:38, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That would be great, to get a status and extra fields of info as appropriate, for owner objection cases. Similarly: delisting cases. I also don't understand how Stepshep got the refnum and hence the infobox for Kewpee. Another owner objection one is Charles Scribner's Sons Building in New York City, which is included in New York State's database but not the Elkman county-table generator (correctly), and correspondence shows it was an owner objection. I don't know its NRHP refnum, if it has one, to generate an individual NRHP infobox for it. The template:infobox NRHP2 could be adjusted to accommodate these (to show an eligible date rather than a listed date, etc.). Also, delisted properties' infoboxes could be adjusted to show a delisting date as well as a listing date. Whether the infobox features are programmed into the individual NRHP infobox generator or not, it is crucial to get a report that at least shows this info, for manual adjustment of an infobox. I'll raise the template programming issues over in the Talk page for NRHP2, now. doncram (talk) 14:23, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Owner objecton. I'll have to ask around why that was. Should be interesting for the article. Also, I caoun't find anything about objection iin my limited knowldge search of the NRIS. How did you get to that information? Thanks for the help and some really cool tools. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 22:40, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delistings and NRHP.COM coverage[edit]

(copied from wt:NRHP) Is there somewhere that lists or can be searched to find sites that have been delisted (other than looking through each weekly list back to 1996)? I was looking through Waseca County, MN, and noted that on the county's web site [18], they also list 3 sites not in the NRHP listings. When I look at the nationalregisterofhistoricpalces.com site, it does list the 3 sites, complete with listing numbers. Any ideas where I could find more info on these? Ref #s 82005055, 82005054, and 82000564. 25or6to4 (talk) 07:56, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is a possibility that the properties never were listed to begin with. When a nomination comes into the NPS, it is given its reference number ("refnum") for internal tracking. The nomination can be denied (the paperwork was incomplete, the justification was not strong enough, the boundaries are wrong, etc.) Note even though it was denied, it still it has its "refnum". Somehow NRHP.com picks these up and lists them. One example is Weir Canyon Archaeological District in California - it was nominated, went to the NPS and given a "refnum" and subsequently denied (the boundaries were not justified, and the author did not do enough research into the local Native Americans) yet, it is on NRHP.com! The only way to find out for sure is to contact the NPS and find out (nr_reference(at)nps.gov). Einbierbitte (talk) 16:57, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There seem to be changes underway in Elkman's generator... searching on 82005055 gives report now noting listing status = DO, whatever that is, for Eaco Mill, in Minnesota. It should be noted that the first data problem here is that NRIS's own access system does not provide any way to get this info. Specifically, searching on Eaco in MN at NRIS, e.g. trying at this NRIS search screen yields nada. Elkman's interfaces already provide more than is possible to get directly from NRIS. doncram (talk) 18:41, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling mistakes and other inconsistencies in NRHP database[edit]

I've been asked by User:Nyttend to report some minor inconsistencies in the NHRP database I found as part of trying to determine which sites do not, or should not, have public address information.

As far as I can see from parsing PROPMAIN.DBF (which is in the DETAILS.EXE self-extracting zipfile), there are 88412 records in the database, of which 5143 contain either of the words "address" or "restricted" in their address. Most of these use the exact string "Address Restricted". However, 90 entries use some other variation of this message.

The records with address fields which contain the substrings "address" or "restricted", but not using the exact string "Address Restricted", are as follows (leading/trailing spaces have been stripped from strings):

There may be yet other variants that misspell both words, but I didn't bother to look further: I'm simply going to take the "restrict" flag as authoritative. However, I find "address unknown" rather puzzling; are the NRHP actually saying they don't know where these places are? Or is this a mistake, and they should be flagged as restricted?

There are some other curious inconsistencies: a number of of the records listed above (for example, 80002942 and 00000263) are described as having restricted addresses in their address field, but are not flagged as restricted.

There are also a number of other records which are flagged as restricted which are not listed above, and use a string containing neither "address" nor "restricted" for their address fields. Some of these contain approximate addresses, so I won't list them here.

I hope this helps -- The Anome (talk) 13:51, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it helps very much. I've corresponded with the NPS and shared the above report. Thanks! doncram (talk) 01:42, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Some of those in the list above I'm sure are not restricted, just incomplete. For example:

Powhatan Courthouse - Address unknown at this time
Scott County Courthouse - Address Unavailable

I'm willing to bet the addresses of courthouses could be found without too much trouble. Jonathunder (talk) 16:48, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Other[edit]

In correspondence, nr_reference notes that "the Cedar Hill Cemetery [in CT] should have given the associated property as: Northam Memorial Chapel and Gallup Memorial Gateway.... We accidentally put the other name as the "see also" property instead of the historic name." Could watch to see if Northam shows up as See also from the Cedar Hill Cemetery in next version, rather than Cedar Hill Chapel something. doncram (talk) 02:59, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Columbiana County[edit]

The Burchfield Homestead is located on East Fourth (4th) Street. There is no street named "Forth" in Salem, Ohio, and the original submission to the NR listed the address correctly. OHPO and NR show the address as "Forth," but this is clearly a typo.
