Historic Architecture
Whenever federal money is involved with any Nevada Department of Transportation project, NDOT is legally required to comply with regulations set up by Section 106 of the Historic Preservation Act of 1966. This important Act established rules for identifying historic structures and evaluating how projects will impact these resources. NDOT takes considerable lengths to avoid affecting historically significant structures and buildings. If it is not feasible to avoid impacting an historic structure, the adverse impact must be mitigated. Mitigation can take the form of moving an historic home to a new location, documenting a building for the Historic American Building Survey to be kept at the National Archives, or planting trees to create visual barriers. To help understand the process in more detail, we developed the following: Enhancement and Stewardship Project Process.The NDOT architectural historian conducts and reviews historic architectural surveys, consults with the State Historic Preservation Office on projects and conducts research on Nevada’s unique architectural history.
