National Register of Historic Places listing

[edit]

I cannot find a listing of this bridge in the NRHP database. The citation points to nationalregisterofhistoricplaces(dot)com, but they dont appear to be run by the NPS, which administers the NHRP. The commercial site shows the cited reference number (02000241), which IS the legitimate format for a location listed in 2002, but there is no corresponding listing in the NPS database. Can anyone find a better reference number, or a link to the NPS NRHP site? I'd like to think this beautiful bridge is on the register, but can't find any evidence to back that up.

Apparently in Washington the NRHP is run by the Department of Archaeology & Historic Preservation (DAHP), which is connected to the NPS. From what I can tell, the bridge is listed in the National Register: Bridges and Tunnels Built in Washington State, 1951-1960 MPS, under the property ID 700333 and resource ID 662743. It is very hard to find the website, search function, and register. The url for the organization page is wisaard.dahp.wa.gov, while the url I got the register from is https://wisaard.dahp.wa.gov/Search/1162/Detail/4891 and the specific blue bridge entry is https://wisaard.dahp.wa.gov/Search/1162/Detail/5351. However, that entry lists it as being in the Washington Heritage Register with a resource ID 674280 and Smithsonian number BN01258. According to their website, all NRHP entries in WA are also listed in the Heritage Register which could be why they don't line up, but I can't say for sure.
I don't have experience with wikipedia pages I just needed this for my art history course, please fix it as you see fit. I'll change it to the best of my abilities but if anyone with more experience would like to correct it please do so. Hope this helps. 50.107.28.86 (talk) 07:15, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
