In last week’s blog post, I reviewed some important information about the Determination of Eligibility (DOE) process in Pennsylvania. This included what a DOE is, how to figure out where to start if you’d like to have your property evaluated for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, and a brief overview of SHPO’s review process.
