DeHaven, Harry, House
Why it's listed
This nomination record for a house in Coatesville, Chester County, Pennsylvania, survives only as a set of repeated form headings and checkbox labels from the description and significance sections. The readable text includes the category labels for condition, alterations, dates, and boundary selection, but none of the entries are completed with substantive content. As a result, the physical appearance of the house, its construction history, its builder or architect, and the reasons it was placed on the register cannot be drawn from this document. Readers seeking those details would need the full nomination file, which should contain the descriptive and significance narratives that are absent here, and which would confirm the dates, materials, and historical associations of the property.
Significance in brief: The text does not state the reasons for significance. Only form headings such as Statement of Significance and applicable criteria appear, with no narrative content.

What listing means for this property
National Register listing is honorary for a privately owned home: it does not by itself restrict what an owner may do with their own money, and it does not require public access. Restrictions come from local landmark or historic-district ordinances, which are separate (how they differ).
Owner-occupied houses are not eligible for the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit, which applies to income-producing buildings, but many states offer credits for homeowners. Listing also opens the door to preservation easements and to buying a plaque. Start with what listing means for homeowners, renovating a listed house and selling one.
General information, not legal or tax advice. Rules change; confirm with your State Historic Preservation Office or a qualified adviser.
