North Dakota Property Listed in National Register of Historic Places

July 24, 2024

BISMARCK, N.D. - A historic district in Bismarck listed in the National Register of Historic Places has been expanded. The National Register of Historic Places is the federal government's list of properties it considers worthy of preservation and recognition. North Dakota nominations are coordinated by the State Historical Society of North Dakota.
In 2022, the Highland Acres Historic District in Bismarck was listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The district is significant at the local level for its role in community development and planning and for being an enclave of mid-century and contemporary residential architecture where several architects, prominent builders, and a variety of individuals chose to build their homes. The historic district has been expanded to include the residences in the Torrance Addition.
Contrary to some misconceptions about the National Register program, listing in it does not prevent owners from altering their property, restrict the use or sale of the property, or require establishing times that the property must be open to the public. Entry into the National Register of Historic Places does give a property prestige, provides protection from adverse effects in federally assisted projects, and provides eligibility for certain preservation financial incentives.
