4 March 2019 Seven Santa Monica Properties on National Register anta Monica boasts seven structures that Shave been recognized by the National Register of Historic Places. Of the more than 90,000 properties listed on the Register, ap- proximately 240 of them are located in Los Angeles County. The Register is the official list of the Na- tion’s historic places worthy of preservation. It is administered by the National Park Service to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate and protect Amer- ica’s historic and archaeological resources. Listing on the National Register provides opportunities for preservation incentives such as grants and tax credits.
