property is a site, building or structure with historic
significance due to its age, architecture or its history;
historic properties may be simply commonly acknowledged as such
or they may be designated or listed as historic by a national,
state or local program. At the national level, the National
Register of Historic Places lists resources with historic or
architectural significance while the Texas Historical Commission
can list a property as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark or as
a State Archeological Landmark. Additionally, many
municipalities have landmark programs that ‘designate’ historic
properties. To become a listed or designated property, research
and documentation of the property’s historical, architectural
and cultural history is required. Typically
