    Recognize
    important
    places

    The National Register of Historic Places is the federal government's official list of sites and structures important to American history on the local, state, or national level. A site listed on the National Register is considered worthy of preservation by the United States government. 
    ​
    The National Register program uses three components to decide whether a property is eligible for listing: historic significance, historic integrity, and historic context. Additionally, a property must meet at least one of the four National Register Criteria, defined as follows by the National Park Service:

    ​

    • Criterion A: Properties that are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history

    • Criterion B: Properties that are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past

    • Criterion C: Properties 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

    • Criterion D: Properties that have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history

    ​

    Belloni Research Consulting can complete historical research, architectural descriptions, or statements of significance needed for the National Register Registration Form.  Additionally, I offer comprehensive services and can complete the entire nomination process from start to finish.

    ​

    I encourage both individuals and organizations interested in nominating a property to the National Register to contact me to discuss their goals.​​​​​​​​​​

    Recent & Ongoing Projects

    Hamer-Combs House
    Criterion A

    Hamilton County, Indiana
    Submitted – Under Review

    Built c. 1840 by one of the first families to settle in the area, the Hamer-Combs House is closely tied to the vanished community of Pleasant Grove. Along with a nearby 19th-century cemetery, it is the only remaining physical trace of the settlement still standing today. The home represents the exploration and early settlement of Hamilton County, Indiana. 

    Scearce House
    Criterion C

    Hendricks County, Indiana
    Submitted – Under Review
    IN_Hendricks_ScearceHouse0001.png

    Once the centerpiece of a large farm, the Scearce House now sits within Danville’s town limits, surrounded by mid-20th-century development. Remarkably well-preserved inside and out, it is a fantastic example of the Greek Revival style adapted to the traditional I-House form. It remains one of the best representations of a pre-Civil War home in Hendricks County. 

    Thomas & Louisa Little House
    Criterion C

    Hendricks County, Indiana
    Submitted – Under Review
    IN_Hendricks_LittleHouse

    After being threatened with demolition by neglect, the Thomas & Louisa Little House was placed on Indiana Landmarks’ “10 Most Endangered” list in 2023. To save the home, it was moved 650 feet from its original location in 2024. The house—a standout example of a Free Classic Queen Anne—is now undergoing a meticulous restoration.
