FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - The Kentucky Historic Preservation Review Board is considering whether to recommend that five properties be listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The board is meeting by video teleconference Tuesday to discuss the nominated properties, which are located in Jefferson, Fayette and Caldwell counties, according to a statement from the agency.
Three properties in Louisville were nominated, the statement said. The Harriet Griswold and Judge Samuel Bonner Kirby House was built in 1906 and is associated with railroad and interurban-related development. The Chestnut Street Baptist Church/Quinn Chapel African Methodist Episcopal was nominated for its significance in black history and civil rights activism. The Nugent House was nominated for its association with the black suffrage movement.
One property in Caldwell County was nominated. The State Road-Hill Cemetery Segment is one of a few surviving intact segments of the Cherokee Trail of Tears northern route, the statement said.
In Fayette County, a neighborhood with 426 properties was nominated. Properties in the Pensacola Park Historic District date to the 1920s and ’30s, the statement said.
The National Register is the nation’s official list of historic and archaeological resources that merit preservation.
