they are eligible for the National Register. The bulletins are guides to identify historic
contexts specific to the nominated property. Identification and description of these
contexts determines National Register eligibility.
A third National Register bulletin used for this nomination is Historic Residential
Suburbs: Guidelines for Evaluation and Documentation for the National Register of
Historic Places. 5 In addition to its function as a guide to identification and description of
residential suburbs for National Register nominations, this bulletin is also a National
Register listed Multiple Property Documentation Form, or MPD. MPD forms nominate
groups of related significant properties by identifying the historic contexts and property
types associated with those properties. 6
A listed MPD provides a common context for
subsequent nominations within the scope of the Multiple Property listing. The bulletin’s
associated historic context, Suburbanization of Metropolitan Areas in the United States,
1830-1960, allows subsequent nominations of applicable properties to use this already-
listed context instead of establishing a separate context for each nomination. This process
simplifies the process of establishing significance for a nominated property, and allows
the reviewer to focus on the specifics of the property instead of separately establishing a
context that connects the nominated property to larger themes in American history.
