Ten more Arlington places have been listed in the National Register in the last few month. Add that to the eight places listed earlier in 2003, and Arlington now has 51 historic sites listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

The Arlington County Preservation Office continues to prepare new National Register nominations for Arlington County's historic sites. Some of these sites are already locally designated, others have yet to be recognized. After being completed by the County staff, these nominations are forwarded to the Virginia Department of Historic Resources (VA DHR), where the Board of Historic Resources and the Virginia State Review Board meet quarterly to consider nominations to the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register. In December 2003, the Board held their quarterly meeting in Arlington, at one of the sites being considered for state and Federal desingation--the historic Stratford Junior High School (H.B. Woodlawn). During this meeting the board approved several Arlington nominations to the Virginia Landmarks Register, most of which have now also been listed in the National Register.

The VA DHR website provides links to the National Register nominations and photos for each of these recently listed historic sites--based on the dates that each site was reviewed and approved by the VA DHR.
