Abstract:
Prepare a National Register Nomination for Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site
This proposal serves to establish specific responsibilities pursuant to Cooperative
Agreement No. H1200-009-0005. Under the conditions of this agreement, the National Park
Service (hereafter referred to as NPS, or the Service) will utilize the services of personnel from
Northern Arizona University (hereafter referred to as NAU, or the University) to prepare a
National Register Nomination for Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site.
A draft nomination for the National Register was completed for the historic site many years ago
but was never finalized and has never been signed by the Arizona State Historic Preservation
Office or the Keeper of the National Register. This document is critical to proper management
of the historic site and its facilities through evaluation and listing of the contributing and noncontributing buildings, structures, and features in the district.
