Approximate location: the National Park Service places this pin arbitrarily within the property, not at a surveyed point (stated accuracy ±12 m).
Why it's listed
Boggs Avenue Elementary School is a building in Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, listed on the National Register in 1987. The readable text of the nomination consists only of section headings and checklist labels covering condition, alterations, dates, areas of significance and boundary selection. Because the surviving text contains no physical description, construction history, architect, or statement of significance, the specific reasons the school was considered important cannot be determined from this record. The building is recorded as a school, which indicates a public educational use in the Boggs Avenue area of the city. Further detail would require a legible copy of the description and significance sections of the original form, which would identify the architectural features, the builder, and the historical events or patterns that the nomination relied on for its evaluation of the property.
Significance in brief: The OCR text contains only form headings and checklist labels for the description and significance sections. No substantive statement of significance can be read.

What listing means for this property
For a publicly owned building or structure, listing mainly matters when federal funds, permits or licences are involved: projects then go through Section 106 review so effects on the property are considered. Listing also strengthens applications for preservation grants and, for leased income-producing uses, can enable the federal rehabilitation tax credit.
General information, not legal or tax advice. Rules change; confirm with your State Historic Preservation Office or a qualified adviser.
