427.3 Criteria for listing.
The following criteria shall be used by the commissioner when determining if properties are eligible for listing on the State Register and by the commissioner, in consultation with the board, in determining which eligible properties should be listed on the State Register:
(a) The quality of significance in American history, architecture and culture is present in districts, sites, buildings, structures and objects that possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association, and:
(1) that are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; or
(2) that are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; or
(3) that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or
(4) that have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.
(b) Special considerations.
Ordinarily, cemeteries, birthplaces or graves of historic figures, properties owned by religious institutions or used for religious purposes, structures that have been moved from their original locations, reconstructed historic buildings, properties primarily commemorative in nature, and properties that have achieved significance within the past 50 years shall not be considered eligible for the State Register. However, such properties will qualify if they are integral parts of districts that do meet the criteria or if they fall within the following categories:
(1) a religious property deriving primary significance from architectural or artistic distinction or historical importance;
(2) a building or structure removed from its original location but which is significant primarily for architectural value, or which is the surviving structure most importantly associated with an historic person or event;
(3) a birthplace or grave of an historical figure of outstanding importance if there is no appropriate site or building directly associated with his productive life;
(4) a cemetery which derives its primary significance from graves of persons of transcendent importance, from age, from distinctive design features, or from association with historic events;
(5) a reconstructed building, when accurately executed in a suitable environment and presented in a dignified manner as part of a restoration master plan, and when no other building or structure with the same association has survived;
(6) a property primarily commemorative in intent if design, age, tradition or symbolic value has invested it with its own historical significance; or
(7) a property achieving significance within the past 50 years if it is of exceptional importance.
