Why it's listed

Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument is a historic district near Fritch, in Potter County, Texas, with National Register reference number 66000822. It was listed in October 1966. The only document available is a National Park Service locator card dated April 2015, completed by WACC. The card is administrative. It marks the status of the nomination file as missing and gives no description of the quarries, no dates of use, no named builders or architects, and no statement of significance. The card has blank fields for removal, demolition, National Historic Landmark status, and related file information. Because no narrative text survives in this record, nothing about the physical character, history, or condition of the property can be reported here. A full account would need the original nomination text, photographs, and maps, none of which are included in the supplied material.

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).
