11 MI Sites Added To National Register of Historic Places

MICHIGAN — The National Register of Historic Places added 11 Michigan places in 2024, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation announced on Tuesday.

Each place listed in the National Register is referred to as a "property," whether it is a single building, site, or structure or a historic district composed of hundreds of individual buildings.

In order to make the list, the property must be at least 50 years old and must possess historic integrity, such as major historical events or trends in the history of their community.

The Michigan locations added in 2024 include:

• Detroit Association of Women's Clubs - Detroit
• Philip J. Hart Plaza - Detroit
• Milwood Apartments - Detroit
• U.S. Post Office Plymouth Station - Plymouth
• Oak Ridge Cemetery - Buchanan
• William and Lovila Moore House - Caro
• Capri Drive-In Theater - Coldwater
• Hayes Hotel - Jackson
• Washington Apartments - Lansing
• Rogers Theater - Rogers City
• Vicksburg Union Depot - Vicksburg

"From a small-town theater up north to an adaptively reused former post office, and a big city plaza envisioned by a renowned Japanese American landscape designer, the historic properties listed in 2024 illustrate a rich and diverse history at the local, state, and national levels," said State Historic Preservation Officer Ryan Schumaker. "Listing in the National Register opens opportunities for economic investment in these communities and ensures that significant places from the past remain relevant into the future."

More than 96,000 properties across the country, including nearly 2,000 in Michigan, have been listed in the National Register since the program began in the 1960s. The National Register is a program of the National Park Service and is administered by the states.
