The process of preparing a National Register of Historic Places nomination for Clayton’s proposed historic district will be discussed at an informational meeting planned by the Downtown Development Association on Wednesday, October 18 from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm in the Poole Room at The Clayton Center, 111 E Second Street in downtown Clayton.
In June, a proposed Clayton Historic District was approved by the National Register Advisory Committee for placement on the North Carolina National Register Study List. That was the first step in the process of nominating a district to the National Register of Historic Places in North Carolina.
The Town of Clayton has taken the next step and engaged the services of National Register consultant, Nancy Van Dolsen of Wilson, to prepare the nomination for Clayton’s Historic District. She prepared the Study List application as part of Keep Johnston County Beautiful’s historical survey update of the county in anticipation of publishing a book on the county’s historic architecture. The process included applications for municipalities with potential historic districts for the National Register Study List.
Ms. Van Dolsen will be introduced to the community at the meeting and she will describe the work she will be doing to prepare the nomination as well as the proposed historic district boundaries.
Also speaking will be Claudia Brown, Branch Supervisor of the State Historic Preservation Office in Raleigh. She will speak about and answer questions related to the National Register of Historic Places program, the Study List, historic tax credits, and historic districts in general.
Seating will be limited, but is open to the public. For more information, please contact Downtown Development Coordinator, Bruce Naegelen at 553-1545 or via email at bnaegelen@townofclaytonnc.org.
