24 Historic Structure Commonly known as a building or object that has achieved some significance to the community in the last 50+ years. It is the contiguous nature of many historic structures and contributing resources that make up the uniqueness of a DISTRICT.

25 Historic Structure Contributing Resource Any building, site or object that adds value to the significance of a District as a whole. It may not be historic in itself.

26 Historic Structure Contributing Resource Naples Historic District A significant concentration of sites, buildings, structures, objects united historically or aesthetically by plan or physical development.

27 Historic Structure Contributing Resource Naples Historic District National Register of Historic Places is a list of registered individual houses and districts that contribute to the significance of a district. Being ON a list imposes NO federal or state regulatory requirements of any type. Quote from the National Register: From the Federal perspective, property owners can do whatever they want with their property as long as there are NO federal monies attached to the property.
