Such documentation is then sent to the National Archives, and a plaque is designed for the premises. When I wrote the Nomination documentation for the PABST THEATER in Milwaukee, it went to 800 pages and some 20 pounds sent off to the Park Service, which granted the designation unanimously in 1991. A site would have to be first admitted to the Register in order to be considered for the NATIONAL LANDMARKS listing, and then the promoters would have to do far more documenting to convince the feds of the national scope and significance. In contrast, the NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARKS program is designed to recognize structures that had a national impact, rather than merely local or state importance. There are a number of technicalities and politics, local, state and national, do figure into the granting of the placement on the Register, which is to document LOCAL and STATE significance, but not necessarily any truly nation-wide significance. Then, the state must complete forms to petition the Park Service to grant National Register status, but this is largely contingent upon locals being able to get behind the property, and if the owner protests - as often happens - then the designation will often fail. Of the National Park Service which administers the program. The United States designates its ‘National Treasures’ in buildings in two ways: first is the National Register of Historic Places, and this must be started by locals who can mount an effort to get their State Historic Preservation Officer to designate a building a state landmark according to the guidelines published by the History Div.
