“How to Evaluate the Integrity of a Property

Integrity is the ability of a property to convey its significance. To be listed in the [Inventory of Historic Sites], a property must not only be shown to be significant under the [Inventory] criteria, but it also must have integrity. The evaluation of integrity is sometimes a subjective judgment, but it must always be grounded in an understanding of a property's physical features and how they relate to its significance.

Historic properties either retain integrity (this is, convey their significance) or they do not. Within the concept of integrity, the [Inventory of Historic Sites] criteria recognizes seven aspects or qualities that, in various combinations, define integrity.

To retain historic integrity a property will always possess several, and usually most, of the aspects. The retention of specific aspects of integrity is paramount for a property to convey its significance. Determining which of these aspects are most important to a particular property requires knowing why, where, and when the property is significant.” - National Register Bulletin 15: How to Apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation
