AAPI National Historic Landmarks Study List
AAPI PROPERTIES THAT MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR NHL DESIGNATION
This table includes a sampling of properties that may be eligible for NHL designation for their association with AAPI culture or history. The research and evaluation is too preliminary for an accurate assessment, but each property on the table has some quality that makes further investigation compelling. Certain factors may make some untenable candidates for NHL designation, but, at this writing, each is worth further investigation. Properties found to be ineligible for NHL designation may be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. This table represents a sampling of properties that are possibly eligible; a comprehensive inventory was beyond the scope of this project.
