Tubman Home for the Aged, Harriet Tubman Residence, Thompson A.M.E. Zion Church (Boundary Increase)
Why it's listed
This entry concerns a boundary increase for a group of properties in Auburn, Cayuga County, New York, associated with Harriet Tubman. The resources named are the Tubman Home for the Aged, the Harriet Tubman Residence and the Thompson A.M.E. Zion Church. The surviving record is a locator card that lists the nomination form, photographs and USGS map as missing from the file, so it contains no description of the buildings, no construction dates and no account of their history. The only substantive detail is a cross-reference showing that the property is also designated a National Historic Landmark under a separate reference number, 74001222. The card was completed on October 3, 2016 and carries the reference number 01000073. Without the original nomination text, the specific reasons for the boundary increase, the architecture and the current condition of the buildings cannot be stated from this document.
Significance in brief: The document gives no statement of significance. It notes only that the property is also a National Historic Landmark, cross-referenced to NHL reference 74001222, and that the nomination form, photographs and USGS map are missing from the file.

What listing means for this property
Religious properties are listed for their architectural or historical significance, not their religious use. Listing is honorary and does not restrict the congregation's use of the building. The federal rehabilitation credit is generally unavailable unless part of the building is income-producing; some state programmes and preservation grants do cover religious buildings. Federal funding or permits trigger Section 106 review.
General information, not legal or tax advice. Rules change; confirm with your State Historic Preservation Office or a qualified adviser.
