Dougherty, Philip, Tavern
Why it's listed
The Dougherty, Philip, Tavern is a building in Coatesville, Chester County, Pennsylvania, listed on the National Register in 1985. The surviving text of its nomination is limited to repeated form headings and checklist labels for description and significance, so the building's construction date, builder, architectural features and historical associations cannot be confirmed from this record. Its physical condition, original site and alterations are not described in legible text, and no statement of significance has been recovered. Readers seeking the tavern's history, its architectural character or the basis for its listing will need the complete original nomination file, which should be consulted through the Pennsylvania State Historic Preservation Office or the National Park Service's National Register records.
Significance in brief: The readable text contains only form headings and checkbox labels, so no reasons for significance are stated in the document.

What listing means for this property
For an income-producing building, listing (individually or as a contributing building in a district) is the gateway to the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit on qualified rehabilitation costs, often stackable with state credits. Work claiming the credit must follow the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and be approved in advance.
Listing does not restrict a private owner acting without federal money or permits; where federal funding or licensing is involved, Section 106 review applies.
General information, not legal or tax advice. Rules change; confirm with your State Historic Preservation Office or a qualified adviser.
