There are a variety of historic resources located in Northumberland County. Historic resources in Northumberland County have been identified by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, Bureau of Historic Preservation (BHP). The BHP identifies historic resources that are listed on the National Register of Historic Place. The BHP also identifies properties that are potentially eligible for listing on the National Register. The National Register is the official list of America’s significant resources. The National Register is comprised of districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects of local significance in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture on the national, state, and local levels.
Listing on the National Register provides prestige in addition to advantages. An advantage to Historic District designation includes tax credit provisions of the revenue act, providing a 20 percent investment credit for the rehabilitation of historic commercial, industrial and rental-residential buildings. National Register status also protects property from alteration or destruction by projects that are Federally funded or licensed. In cases where a federally funded project may cause an adverse affect, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation will review it in advance and make recommendations concerning its suitability.
The National Register listing of the Historic District does not, however, prevent private undertakings on a building that may alter or destroy its historic integrity. Also properties that are identified by the BHP are not protected from some public or all private undertakings. The property owner can make any change, unless there is a local ordinance to prevent the change.
