Why it's listed
Jimmy Carter National Historic Site is a historic district located in Plains, Sumter County, Georgia. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on December 23, 1987, under reference number 01000272. The material available for this entry is limited to an administrative locator card, which records the resource name, county, state and file status information. It carries no description of buildings, no construction dates, no architects or builders, and no statement explaining why the district was judged significant. The card marks the status of the file as National Park Service, but it gives no details about the contents of the district or its history. Because the source supplies no narrative sections, nothing further can be reliably stated about the property's physical character, its period of importance or its present condition. A fuller account would require the complete nomination text, including the description and significance sections.

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).
