Why it's listed

Rosie the Riveter-World War II Home Front National Historical Park is a district in Richmond, Contra Costa County, California, entered in the National Register of Historic Places in January 2001 under reference number 01000287. The name points to the World War II home front, but the only document available here is a National Park Service locator card dated January 1986 in its form version, with a completion date of August 2009. It contains administrative fields such as missing-material checkboxes, removal or demolition status, and notes on where replacement documents were found. It has no description of buildings, boundaries, construction dates, architects, or historical events, and no statement of significance. Because of this, the reasons for the district's listing, its period of significance, and its present condition cannot be summarized from the supplied text. A fuller account would require the main nomination narrative, which is not included in the material provided.

What listing means for this property

This is a historic district. Buildings within its boundary are either contributing (they add to the district's significance) or non-contributing. Owners of contributing income-producing buildings can claim the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit; homeowners should look at state credits. National Register districts impose no design review by themselves; a local historic district ordinance, if one exists, does (the difference explained).
