[edit]

What is the source for all this text? It reads like someone's musing about what the terms might mean after scanning some of the properties that the terms have been applied to. That would make it not only original authorship, but conjecture.

Shouldn't it be citing some National Park Service document which defines the terms as they are used the NRIS?68.189.243.35 (talk) 21:01, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for commenting. I just added a reference and a complete list of the 40 architectural style codes that are standard in the NRHP program's NRIS database, which should partially address your concern. I agree that finding and using more and better sources to describe these styles and their usage in the NRHP system would be good. --doncram (talk) 00:51, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
