Possible uses and use restrictions...
Properties recognized as National Historic Landmarks will, upon application by the owner or administrator, be awarded a bronze plaque attesting to the property's national significance. At the same time, the applicant is requested to observe certain simple preservation precepts with regard to the property. Should subsequent occurrences alter the historic qualities of the property, landmark status may be revoked and the plaque removed. Automatic listing of National Historic Landmark properties in the National Register of Historic Places affords a degree of Federal protection under Section 106 of the Historic Preservation Act of 1966, and fulfills one of the prerequisites for Federal assistance under the National Register grants- in-aid program (see 15.904). Certain landmarks are also made eligible for Federal tax benefits and protections and technical preservation assessment and assistance.
