Step 3: How to make an application to the National Register of Historic Places

In Step 3 of the application process, we are invited to pick one reason why the chosen property should be listed on the National Register.  I knew that the Coldwater Post Office didn’t qualify as C (distinctive architecture) or D (Prehistorical significance).  That left Criterions A and B.  I could see that the instructions state the one reason should be chosen.  I decided that if i filled in both reasons, it was very likely that the Preservation Office would determine which one was best.
