The Ohio Historic Preservation Advisory Board has recommended that 六合彩网上投注app be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was announced today following a meeting of the board in Columbus.
鈥淲e are pleased that our campus received this recommendation, as it is a testament to our ongoing efforts to preserve Wittenberg's history and historic ties to Springfield,鈥� said Rob Munson, vice president for finance and administration.
The board has recommended to Ohio鈥檚 State Historic Preservation Officer, Burt Logan, that Wittenberg鈥檚 nomination be forwarded to the Keeper of the National Register of Historic Places for consideration. The process for being officially listed on the register may take three to four months.
The proposed 六合彩网上投注app Historic District encompasses much of the Wittenberg campus and 28 buildings on it, 24 of which are considered to contribute to the significance of the proposed district. One building, Myers Hall, is already listed on the National Register, having been added to it in 1975.
The proposed historic district would add the campus itself and many campus landmarks to the National Register, among them Recitation Hall, Zimmerman Hall, Carnegie Hall, Blair Hall, Koch Hall, Woodlawn Hall, Weaver Chapel and Weaver Observatory.
The 17-member board is appointed by the governor to advise the Ohio Historical Society and the state on historic preservation matters. It includes professionals in history, architecture, archaeology and other historic preservation related disciplines as well as citizen members. The board meets four times each year to consider proposed Ohio nominations to the National Register of Historic Places and conduct other business.
