SUHD Nomination Update

The South University Historic District nomination is on indefinite hold.

Opponents successfully stalled the nomination for four years and inundated the Keeper of the National Register with hundreds of pages of objections. The Keeper returned the nomination in late 2005, requesting that the survey of historic resources, started in 2000, be renewed and that the nomination process start over.

The Keeper did not comment about verifying and tallying letters of
opposition. In addition, the Keeper did not address the legality of
converting properties into multiple trusts to generate more letters of opposition, including trusts representing minors with 1% interest each inthe properties.
