National Register of Historic Places Federal list of historic sites in the United States

The National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) is the United States federal government's official list of districts, sites, buildings, structures and objects deemed worthy of preservation for their historical significance. A property listed in the National Register, or located within a National Register Historic District, may qualify for tax incentives derived from the total value of expenses incurred in preserving the property.

It was designed by architect James H. Nave with Swiss Chalet/Swiss Chalet Revival styling, with Nave possibly influenced by Spokane, Washington architect K.K. Cutter. It has also been known as Wilson Apartments. [2]

Swiss Chalet Revival architecture developed in the United States, emulating original Swiss Chalet architecture of Switzerland. In the U.S., buildings designed in this style might be termed with the word "Revival" or might not be, but none of them are really Swiss, so it is appropriate to term them "Revival".

It is a three-story 80 by 120 feet (24 m × 37 m) stone and brick building, built with dark brown sandstone from the architect's quarry, named Swallow's Nest. [2]
