The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of the Nation's historic places worthy of preservation. Authorized by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect America's historic and archeological resources.

The Downtown Hopewell Historic District Nomination Update and Boundary Adjustment, 2013, is eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places under the same criteria as described in the original 2002 Nomination - Criterion A for association with historic events and trends in the area of Commerce, and Criterion C for Architecture. With this nomination update, the district's Period of Significance is established as 1915 to 1960. The expanded Period of Significance ends in 1960 with the construction of 265 East Broadway Avenue (VDHR File #116-5009/116-5031-0032). This building, known as the Arcades Building, retains good integrity and represents the last example of a distinctive style of commercial canopy that formerly characterized the facades of many of Hopewell's commercial buildings.

 

Properties are listed in the National Register of Historic Places under four criteria: A, B, C, and D. For information on what these criterion are and how they are applied, please see our Bulletin on How to Apply the National Register Criteria
