• 50 years old or older.
• A building that is associated with historic figures, or historic events may be eligible regardless of age
• The marker includes the historic name of the building and the date of its construction
• The historic name is that of the original occupant or, if the original occupant was there only a few years, the first long-term occupant of the building, whether a private house or a commercial or public building. If there are two, or even three, long-term occupancies over time, then both or all those names will be used if possible.
