National Register of Historic Places

The NRHP is the official list of the Nation's historic places worthy of preservation; NHLs are nationally significant historic places designated by the Secretary of the Interior because they possess exceptional value or quality in illustrating or interpreting the heritage of the United States.

The NRHP and NHL programs are federally-established and are administered by the National Park Service (nps.gov/subjects/nationalregister) and the Illinois Historic Preservation Division (IHPD, dnrhistoric.illinois.gov). This dataset is provided by the City of Chicago based on NRHP and NHL nominations provided by IHPD. For more information on the Chicago Department of Planning and Development's historic preservation efforts, please see chicago.gov/city/en/depts/dcd/provdrs/hist.html. ​​​​​This dataset is in a forma​​t for spatial datasets that is inherently tabular but allows for a map as a derived view.
