Photograph courtesy of New York State Historic Preservation Office Church of the Holy ApostlesNew York, Reference number: 72000867Area of Significance: Architecture, Religion, Social History-LGBTQ Period of Significance: 1846-1922; 1969-1977 Additional documentation was added to the original 1972 nomination, to recognize the role of this church in the formation and support of many early LGBT social, political, and religious activities for the community. Originally listed for its architectural significance as an important work of architect Minard Lefever (1846-48), the revised nomination now recognizes the church’s significance in Social History: LGBTQ History from 1969 to 1977, for its role in welcoming members of the LGBT community, for serving as New York City’s first LBGT community center, and for hosting meetings of the West Side Discussion Group, the Gay Liberation Front, and the Gay Activists Alliance, among the city’s earliest and most important activist organizations in the fight for LGBT civil rights. Holy Apostles also provided space, between 1970 and 1975, for three early LGBT religious congregations that were founded there: the Church of the Beloved Disciple, the Metropolitan Community Church of New York, and Congregation Beth (Beit) Simchat Torah, the first permanent LGBT synagogue on the East Coast. The establishment of places where groups of gay men and lesbians could meet openly and/or worship the religion of their choice in an era of open hostility toward them was important because these places served as sources of comfort, community, and stability for people who often lacked families or other sources of support.

Photograph courtesy of North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office Oxford Historic District Additional Documentation / Boundary Increase / Boundary DecreaseNorth Carolina, Reference Number: 100005974Area of Significance: Architecture, Commerce, Industry, Ethnic Heritage: Black, Social History Period of Significance: 1825-1967 This nomination is a good example of a “complete overhaul” of an older nomination. The original nomination dates to 1988 and did not take into account some of the areas that contain what were then considered architecturally unimportant buildings that were associated with the town’s African American population. The new nomination includes a boundary increase to include these areas; a boundary decrease to acknowledge the demolition of a large industrial complex; and additional documentation to update the older inventory. The new nomination also includes a historical context and period of significance that is more inclusive and representative of events and conditions within the district. This new nomination effectively “replaces” the older one. Link to the file
