The National Register is the Federal Government's official list of historic buildings and other cultural resources worthy of preservation. Listing in the National Register provides recognition and assists in preserving our Nation's heritage. Enclosed is a copy of the criteria under which properties are evaluated. Listing in the National Register provides the following benefits to historic properties: - Consideration in the planning for federally assisted-projects. Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 provides that the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation be given an opportunity to comment on projects affecting such properties. Eligibility for Federal tax benefits. If a property is individually listed in the National Register, or determined a contributing structure within a National Register district, certain tax provisions may apply. The Tax Treatment Extension Act of 1980 includes provisions regarding charitable contributions for conservation purposes of partial interests in historically important land areas or structures, including archeological sites and private residences. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 contains provisions intended to encourage preservation of depreciable historic structures by allowing favorable Federal tax provisions for rehabilitation. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 provides a 20% investment tax credit for rehabilitation of historic commercial, industrial, and residential rental buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Consideration of historic values in the decision to issue a surface coal mining permit where coal is located, in accord with the Surface Mining and Control Act of 1977.

Owners of private properties nominated to the National Register of Historic Places must be given an opportunity to concur in or object to listing in accord with the National Historic Preservation Act Amendments of 1980 and Federal regulations 36 CFR Part 60. Any owner or partial owner of private property who chooses to object to listing is required to submit to the State Historic Preservation Officer a notarized statement certifying that the party is the sole or partial owner of the private property,as appropriate, and objects to the listing. For a single privately owned property with one owner, the property will not be listed if the owner objects. In nominations with multiple ownership of a single private property, the property will not be listed if a majority of the owners objects to listing. If the property cannot belisted because the owner or a majority ofo owners objects prior to submission of a nomination by the State, the State Historic Preservation Officer shall submit the nomination to the Keeper of the National Register for a determination of the eligibility of the property or district for inclusion in the National f Page 2 l w_ Register.

Prepared by name/title Irma M. Dotson, Trustee - Museum of the San Ramon Valley organization for the Town of Danville date April 25, 1995 street & number 510 La Gonda Way telephone (510) 820-1448 city or town Danville state California zip code 94526 i 1. The reasons for its move: The underlying land upon which the building sets has been owned by the Southern Pacific Railroad Company since 1890. The depot building was constructed in 1891. The building, but not the land under it, was acquired from the Southern Pacific Railroad Company through the Danville Community Development Agency in 1988 and is now owned by the Town of Danville. In 1988 the Town of Danville also acquired a portion of the station plot to the north of the depot to be used for public parking. The depot will be moved on to a portion of this land. The Southern Pacific Railroad Company plans to sell the remaining land it owns of the original station plot, including the land under the depot, to commercial developers. These developers have no desire to incorporate the depot building which . is centrally located on the station plat into their development plans. In order to save the historic building from demolition, it must be moved from its original location. i 2. The Effect of the move on the property's historic integrity: The structure will be moved approximately 800 feet north. It will be placed on land which was once a part of the original 8.65 acre railroad station plot. This part of the. plot is now owned by the Town of Danville. The depot building will be oriented in the same general north - south direction (actual N52° 41'W) as it is at its. original location. There should be no adverse effect on the property's historic integrity. • 3. A description of the new setting and general environment of the proposed site, including evidence that ' the proposed site does not possess historical or archeological significance that would be adversely affected by the intrusion of the property: The new, setting will be at the extreme north end of the original station plot in a small grove of mature elm trees on the north east corner of Railroad Avenue and West Prospect Avenue. This location will place the depot across Railroad Avenue from a complex of buildings including the historical Danville Hotel formerly called Railroad Hotel when built in the 1891 era to offer service to train travelers and employees of the railroad. Moving the depot to this corner will bring it in closer proximity to many other historical buildings located in this section of Old Downtown.Danville. In 1985 East Bay Municipal Utility District installed a 66 inch underground water pipe on West Prospect Avenue and Railroad Avenue within a few feet to the north and east of this site. In 1987 Central Contra Costa Sanitary District installed a 60 inch sewer line 100 feet to the west of the site. During excavation for these two pipeline installations, no evidence was found of the presence of any buildings, artifacts or other items that might be of architectural or historic importance. Enclosed is a legal description of the land on which the depot will be moved.

Continuation Sheet Section number 7 Page 2 All functional windows are of the double-hung sliding sash type; except for the need for replacement of broken glass, all sash are original and in good repair. On the train-side, two eighteen-inch, and three thirty-inch wide windows enclose the telegrapher's bench, sufficient to provide good visibility of train traffic in both north and south directions; one thirty-six inch window, and a glass paneled thirty-six inch door in the west wall of the waiting room provided adequate light and train side visibility for passengers; four forty-eight inch adjoining windows were located on the west side of the second floor bedrooms. On the north wall two thirty-six inch windows were located on both the first and second floors. The locations of these train- side and north wall windows may be seen in Photograph No. 1. The upstairs windows on the train-side are also visible in Photograph No. 4; the downstairs windows have been boarded up. Facing eastward, windows were located as follows; one each in the downstairs waiting room and the office area (thirty- six inches) ; three fifty-four inch windows upstairs in the living room-kitchen area and one small one in the bath. These may be seen in Photograph Nos. 2 and 3. The only window facing south (other than the two fixed windows in the freight room) is a small one lighting the upper portion of the stairwell shown in Photograph No. 3. The locations of all the above windows (and doors • described below) are indicated in the floor plan. Five exterior doors located on the west (train-side) provided access to the waiting room, ticket office, and baggage room (door now inactive) , men's room, and freight room; exterior doors on the east side :p rovided entrance to the waiting room (glass panel) , office and stair-well (glass panel) , baggage room, women's room and freight area; the original sliding doors (two 37 inch wide) on the east wall of the baggage room have been deactivated in an open position and replaced functionally with a thirty-six inch hinged door. The large freight room is surrounded on three sides by a wide loading platform at freight car level; the platform width is respectively nine, eight and seven feet on the west, east and south sides; access, was provided on the east and west sides of the depot by steps; an incline, or ramp (now removed) , on the south side provided vehicular access. Decorative cresting and finials originally topped the ridgeline of both the upper story roof (east-west) and the freight room roof (north-south) . It is no longer in place, having been removed sometime (from] photographs) in the early 19001s. Other exterior decorative features of the building include scrolling on the fascia boards at both the east and west gables (visible in Photograph Nos. 1, 2 and 4) : scrolling above the window overhang, second floor on the west side (Photo No. 1) ; horizontal and vertical trim to create a paneling effect on the second floor walls below window level; decorative (and functional) knee braces below roof overhangs; and vertical trim elements on sides of windows and spaced along the walls. Two original brick chimneys still exist, one adjacent to the extreme north wall serving the first story waiting room and second story living room; 1 .0 AO*WU r ft 102-& IS United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number 7 Page 1 Construction Based on Southern Pacific's "Combination Station No. 22" plans, .the building was constructed by company forces in 1891; many local variations of the -standard plan were incorporated in each location, including the subject depot building at Danville. While some historical drawings and descriptions of many individual parts of the building have been located, no comprehensive set of building plans for the Danville depot building have been found to exist. The building is of wooden 'frame construction with overall dimensions of 25 x 90 feet at foundation level, divided into a northern two-story section 25 x 47 feet and a southern one-story freight room section 25 x 43 feet. The gabled second floor . is oriented perpendicular to that of the first, that is, the gables face east and west, while the main first floor runs north and south parallel to the tracks. These features are shown in the accompanying photographs Nos.l and 2. Photograph No. 1, taken from train-side looking in a southeasterly direction, shows the depot building as it appeared in the early 20th century, circa 1910; No. 2 shows its present appearance from street-side looking in a southwesterly direction. The foundation of the two-story section of the building consists of brick and mortar piers, and a perimeter wall of the same materials, on which the wooden floor girders rest; the freight room floor girders are also supported on brick and mortar piers (no perimeter foundation wall) but elevated by short wooden 8" x 8" posts to raise the freight room floor level with that of a freight car. The original wooden train order signal post, as seen in photograph No. 1, was located on the freight platform; it was replaced later with a metal post anchored to a 22" x 22" concrete block located 5' 6" from the depot in front of the train_ order window. The block with its four anchor bolts remain in place in the ground. Exterior Exterior walls of the first floor are constructed of 1" x 8" "V" grooved shiplap siding; decorative shingles are used to cover the second floor walls, including the east and west facing gables, except for a decorative paneled section below the window level; these features are visible in the accompanying photographs. The roof is of shingle construction; roll roofing has been used over the shingles to re-roof the freight section (currently in need of repair) . 6.

SUMMARY The Danville train depot consists of a combination one-story/two- story wooden structure constructed in 1891 by the Southern Pacific Railroad for passenger and freight use in accordance with a design identified in their records as "Combination' Station No. 22". Its original and present location is on the east side of the Southern Pacific tracks (now removed) in the 300 block of Railroad Avenue in the town of Danville. The wooden frame building, with overall outside dimensions of 25 x 90 feet, remains as it was built with no alterations to its basic structure. Exterior walls are covered with 1" x 8" shiplap siding on the first floor and decorative shingles on the second floor . including gables; roofed originally with wood shingles, its two brick chimneys remain intact. The two-story section of the structure is located at the north end with outside dimensions of 25 x 47 feet. The downstairs is partitioned into three main rooms; a waiting room,. baggage room, and ticket office with a train-order window protruding on the western train side of the building. A staircase on the east side of the office leads to the station master's two bedroom upper floor apartment. The one-story portion of the depot, lying to the -south, consists of the 25 x 43 foot enclosed freight room; this room is surrounded on the west, south and east sides by a loading platform. Minor alterations made to the building's exterior include the addition of a temporary enclosure of the train-side loading platform on the west and removal of the loading platform ramp on the south. Modification of the interior has also been minimal, thus leaving the building intact since the addition of electricity and indoor plumbing in the early 1900'x. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDING Location and Orientation The Danville train depot was constructed as a combination passenger- freight depot building on the east side of the Southern Pacific's San Ramon branch line and is oriented in a general north-south direction (actual N520411W) ; the passenger portion is on the north end. The depot location is shown on the accompanying copy of a portion of a Sanborn Fire Insurance Map of Danville, California dated 1925 revised to 1932, marked Sketch Map No.l. ®ties continuation sheet W^form 1600 Qua Na 102+,001dtR« btlB) United States Department of the Interior tional Park Service ational Register of Historic Places Registration Form This form is for use in nominating or requesting determinations of eligibility for Individual properties or districts.

United States Department of the Interior National Park Service 0lational Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number _ 8 Page 1— HISTORICAL CONTEXT Beginning in the 1640's with acceleration following the Gold Rush period, the San Ramon Valley together with its adjacent valleys, began .to be settled by families moving west from the eastern part of the United States. Transportation was ever a problem; farm products had to be hauled over very poor roads either to the north or south for shipping and receiving. The Southern Pacific Railroad line from Avon to San Ramon, California was completed in May, 1891; on May 17, Southern Pacific officials and guests were first to ride on the line. The first passengers were carried on June 7, 1891. The line had been constructed with the time and financial support of local farmers and land owners in an effort to bring freight and passenger service to central Contra Costa County. In Danville Southern Pacific purchased 8.65 acres of farm land from John Hartz for use as the train station. In 1891 the coming of the train, its depot, its attendant warehouses, not only promoted growth of the area but changed the way the farming community lived even to the types of crops grown. Fruits and other perishable produce could now be shipped daily from the local depot. In 1894 Danville merchants were shipping 1500 to 2000 dozens of eggs. each week. The R. 0. Baldwin and M. S. Stone Nursery just south of Danville were shipping products all over the state. Walnuts were grown using the dry-farming method; Bishop Ranch planted 500 acres of this crop; most farmers planted some acreage. Orchardists provided employment for harvesting walnuts; for picking, cutting and drying of apricots, peaches and prunes. Great pear orchards were developed which would .make the Valley the Pear Capital of the World. Cherries were another fruit which grew well. here; in May and June 1923, 4322 boxes of cherries were shipped from Danville to southern markets.. Coming of the train was the first step towards suburbanization of the area since daily commutes to the cities of Oakland and San Francisco were now available. In 1908 for example, commute passengers left Danville at 6 :47 A.M. arrived in Oakland (16th St. ) at 8 :54 A.M. and at Market Street Depot in San Francisco at 9:28 A.M.; the' return trip left Market Street at 4 P.M. and arrived in Danville at 6:28 P.M. The depot building was centrally located on the 8 .65 acre railroad station plot which in 1891 was on the western edge of the village of Danville. Creation of the railroad station had a major impact on subsequent development of the village. The railroad line With its depot divided the farm of Mr. Hartz leaving a separate strip on the east side of the tracks. Mr. Hartz had this property surveyed into small town lot.s with streets laid out including Railroad Avenue; a map was drawn and filed with the County as the Hartz Addition to the Town of Danville. This first subdivision with its small lots changed and thereby established the character of the town which continues today; many of the original small homes built in the 1890's and early 1900's remain on these lots. Later, two other subdivisions in Old Downtown Danville • followed the pattern set by the Hartz Addition thus giving the entire older part of Danville its character. After the coming of the railroad, the center United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number 8 Page 2_ of activity in Danville began to move from the Front Street area located two blocks to the east, to the area around Railroad and Hartz Avenues. The coming of the train also created a need for a hotel. Built facing the depot and slightly north, the Railroad Hotel offered service to train travelers and employees of the railroad. This structure, now moved a short distance east, continues to serve the community as an office and retail busines3 building. The fifty year period of 1891 to 1939 is the most historically significant because (a) it was the era when the principal freight service from the depot was that of shipping farm products from the valley and (b) for most of this period passenger service was provided from the Danville depot. It was during this period that the depot served its dual role of offering both freight and passenger service. With the exception of moving military personnel and materials during World War I.I and a few excursion trips in the late 1940'x, passenger service ended in 1931. Freight service continued through the Danville depot until the building's retirement from service by the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1951, then directly to individual company sites along the line until September 1978, at which time the Interstate Commerce Commission granted Southern Pacific permission to abandon the line between • Concord and Dublin. Beginning in 1951 the depot building was used for the operation of a Feed and Garden Supply store by Joseph Ramos, Sr. and his son, Joseph Ramos, Jr. In 1957 they purchased the building and leased the underlying land from the railroad company. This business continued in the depot until Nov. 4, 1987, ending with the death of Joseph Ramos, Jr. The structure, which is currently vacant, is owned by the Town of Danville with the underlying land still owned by Southern Pacific Railroad. The Town of Danville has granted authorization for rehabilitation of the building as the Museum of the San Ramon Valley, work which is currently underway. s AS .__. 8.

SUMMARY Under Criterion A of the National Register Criteria, the Southern Pacific Railroad Depot is very significant to the history of the Danville area because of its service to the farming community in the transportation of both freight and passengers. By the 1890's the area was well into the second phase - that of growing grain - of the three farming phases which it was to pass through prior to becoming a suburb. The early settlers had raised cattle before discovering that the San Ramon Valley's climate and the dry-farming method used there, suited the growing of wheat. Soon wheat, barley and hay were the important grains grown but hay was the leading product to be shipped from the Danville area in the 18901s. It was shipped to U.S.Army cavalry posts and to markets in other countries. Large warehouses were built near the depot to store hay; often as much as 3500 tons of hay would be stored awaiting shipment. The third chapter of the area's economic life - the fruit and nut era - was already under way but the coming of the train with its available shipping service, encouraged more growing of these products by more farmers. The depot, located in the geographic center of the area, was built in 1891 concurrent with the railroad to serve the transportation needs of the farming community for shipment of farm products; this major improvement was in lieu of the then time-consuming horse and wagon transportation over narrow, often muddy roads to the north where the Southern Pacific Railroad was serving the northern part of Contra Costa County at Port Costa, Martinez and Avon; from these shipping points freight was transported to Oakland and San Francisco, or to cities in the east through San Joaquin County. The need for hauling by wagon southward to markets in Hayward and Livermore was eliminated after the 1909 extension of the rail line from San Ramon to Radum near Pleasanton. The depot also helped provide the link to the outside world for members of farm families, thus allowing them the freedom to travel and have visitors, a privilege long denied them in this region of central Contra.*Costa County, CA. The Southern Pacific Railroad's San Ramon Branch Line from Avon to San Ramon began operation on June 7, 1891; the Danville depot opened its doors to the public late in December of the same year. The building is representative of the property type of country railroad depots built by the Southern Pacific Railroad during the late 1800 's and early 1900's using an early set of standard plans known as Southern Pacific Combination Station No. 22 . Of the four depots on the San Ramon Branch Line, which were built in 1891 using this plan, only the depot at Danville has survived with a high degree of architectural and historical integrity intact; the • depots at Concord and San Ramon have been demolished; major alterations have been made to the other one at Walnut Creek which has been moved from its original site. ®See continuation sheet ..�r �. ae Apne..r no raawoure p.ae) I"Fam 1040" United States Department of the Interior National Park Service Sational Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number 7 Page 3 _ the second on the south side of the two-story section served the upstairs kitchen and downstairs office. These chimneys were . built for wood-burning stoves (now removed) . The most prominent change in the external appearance was one made. during the 1950 's to the west section of the loading platform when it was enclosed with temporary add-on siding material (Photograph Nos. 3 and 5) ; no original structural members of the building were removed or altered; the west freight- room sliding door was left intact. The ramp (incline) on the south end of the loading platform has been removed. The original exterior paint (Southern Pacific yellow) has been repainted red on the north, east and south sides of the building. Overall the building is in a very good condition of preservation after a century of use; items in need of maintenance include the roof, .the loading platform, and window glass replacement; repainting is required to restore the exterior to its original Southern Pacific yellow with brown trim. Interior The interior lay-out of the building is shown in the accompanying floor plan identified as "DANVILLE DEPOT FLOOR PLAN". The downstairs of the two-story section is partitioned into three main rooms; the northernmost is .a waiting room 16 x 24 feet; in the middle a ticket office 16' x 17' with a train-order window protruding on the western train side; and a 12 ' x 24 ' baggage room. A stair-case on the east side of the office leads to the station master's four-room upper floor apartment, which consists of two bedrooms (13' x 10' and 14' x 101) facing west (train-side) ; a 10 ' x 14' living room and a 14' x 13' foot kitchen face the eastern street- side; to the south, a small bath (7' x' 81) and storage room extend over the downstairs baggage room. The one-story portion of the depot, lying to the south, consists of the 24 x 43 foot (inside dimensions) enclosed freight room. Interior walls and ceilings throughout are made of 1" x 4" Douglas fir boards (beaded tongue and groove) , with the wall boards running vertically. Floors are constructed of three and three-eighths-inch wide soft-wood lumber. Stairs are of wooden construction, with solid risers. Modifications to the interior have been minor; downstairs they include the replacement of the ticket window by a door between the office and waiting room; partial removal of the wall between the office and baggage room; and deactivation of both train and street-side baggage room doors. Upstairs the open passage between the kitchen and living room has been widened. Otherwise the building has remained basically intact since the addition of electricity in 1911 and ,indoor plumbing in the early 1900'x. AM . 9.

The National Register was established by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. The purposes of the Act are: to insure that properties significant in national, state, and local history are considered in the planning of federal undertakings; and to encourage historic preservation initiatives by state and local governments and the private sector. The following benefits are associated with National Register listing: 1. Listed properties may use the State Historic Building Code, a more flexible altemative to the Uniform Building Code. The use of this code may save owners money when repairing or rehabilitating their properties. . 2.. Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, a privately owned building that is listed in the National Register or is a contributing building in a National Register historic district may be eligible for a 20% federal income investment tax credit based on the costs of a qualified rehabilitation of the building. These credits apply only to income-producing, depreciable properties, including residential rental properties. The credits do not . . apply to owner-occupied residential properties. Plans for the rehabilitation are reviewed by the State Historic Preservation Office and the National Park Service, and work on the building must meet federal rehabilitation standards. -3. The Tax Treatment Extension Act of 1980 provides federal tax deductions for preservation easements that result in .a decline of fair market value when conservation restrictions are placed on the property by the owner. 4. All properties and districts listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register are considered in the planning of federal undertakings such as highway construction and Community Development Block Grant projects. "Federal undertakings" also include activities sponsored by state or local governments or private entities if they are licensed or partially funded by the federal government. "Federal undertakings" do not include loans made by banks insured by the FDIC or federal fame subsidies. National Register listing does not provide absolute protection from federal actions that may affect the property. It means that if a federal undertaking is in conflict with the preservation of a National Register property, the California Office of Historic Preservation will negotiate with the responsible federal agency in an effort to eliminate, minimize, or otherwise take into account the undertaking's effect on*the historic property. This review procedure applies to properties that are determined eligible for the National Register in the day-to-day environmental review process as well as those actually listed in the National Register. 5. In California, a local tax assessor may enter into contracts with property owners for property tax reductions through the Mills Act. 6. Qualification for grants when funds are available. 7. Listed properties are recognized for their architectural or historic worth, an intangible benefit that is nonetheless valuable. Listing in the Register is primarily an honor, meaning that a property has been researched and evaluated according to established procedures and determined to be worthy of preservation. 8. Properties listed in, or officially determined eligible for listing in the National Register are automatically listed in the California Register of Historical Resources. The following may sometimes be regarded as restrictions on National Register listed properties: 1. A project receiving federal assistance such as Community Development Block Grant funds must be reviewed by the Office of Historic Preservation to determine and hopefully avoid or lesson any potentially adverse effects on National Register properties. Any work undertaken using federal funds must generally use the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation Projects. Please note, however, that if a property is not listed, but is eligible for listing, the same requirements apply. In other words, actual listing does not increase the owner's responsibility under the law. 2. If a project is subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), then the National Register designation of a property (or the determination of its eligibility) would indicate its significance and the need to take into account any effects of the project on the property. Note -- this is not necessarily a drawback, depending on the point of view of the owneNlocal agency. Note also that significance can also be evidenced by other state or local designation, surveys, or.othe► professional evaluation. 3.. A local agency may tie listing in the National Register to restrictions imposed locally, such as design review. This does not come automatically with listing, however, but must come about as a result of separate local action. Check with your local government. . 4. If a property is listed in the National Register, either individually or as a contributor in a National Register district, the owner may not take the 10% federal investment tax credit available for rehabilitation projects on commercial buildings constructed prior to 1936. By following the Secretary of the Interior's Standards, however, the owner may take the 200/6 incentive. 5. Proposals to demolish or significantly alter a National Register property damaged in an earthquake or other natural disaster may be subject to review by the Office of Historic Preservation. (See Section 5028 of the Public Resources Code.) There are some common misconceptions about the implications of listing: 1. It is not true that the federal, state, or local government assumes any property rights in the building as a result of listing. Owners are not required to open their homes to the public. If a project is not subject to CEQA, to local preservation ordinances, or to the other environmental regulations outlined above, owners are free to make changes to their property. It is possible that the property could be so altered, however, that it would be removed from the Register. 2. Unfortunately, it also not true that there are large sums of money available to assist owners and local agencies in rehabilitating National Register properties. Funds are very limited, with the federal tax credits being the most generally available financial assistance.

A district may not be listed in the National Register over the objection of a majority of owners of private property within the proposed district. Each.owner or partial owner of private property has one vote regardless of what part of the property that person owns. Within a district, each owner has one vote regardless of how many buildings he or she owns. If a majority of private property owners should object, the property or district will not be listed. However, in such cases, the State Historic Preservation Officer is required to submit the nomination to the Keeper of the National Register for a determination of eligibility for the National Register. If the property or district is determine eligible for listing, although not formally listed, it will be given the same protection. as a listed property in the federal environmental review process. A property determined eligible for listing is not eligible for federal tax benefits until the objections are withdrawn and the property is actually listed. The laws and regulations regarding this process are covered in the National Historic Preservation Act Amendments of 1980 and in 36 CFR (Code of Federal'Regulations), Part 60. Supporting a National Register nomination: Private owners who seek National Register listing for their properties are not required to submit statements of concurrence. However, letters of support, from owners or any others, are welcomed and become a permanent part of the nomination file. Objecting to a National Register nomination: If you object to the listing of your property, you will need to, submit a'notarized statement certifying that you are the sole or partial owner of the property, as appropriate, and that you object to the listing. Owners who wish to object are encouraged to submit statements of objection prior to the meeting of the State Historical Resources Commission at which the nomination is being considered. However, statements of objection may be submitted and will be counted up until the actual date of listing. Listing usually takes place 45 days after the nomination is mailed to the Keeper of the National Register following the State Historical Resources Commission meeting.
