The record itself: two listings, two filers, and the survey under them

1981–2000

New Carlisle's built history is unusually well filed for a town of its size: it stands in the National Register of Historic Places twice, and the paperwork names its authors. The first listing is the New Carlisle Historic District, reference 92001653, entered 14 December 1992 — the town's commercial core and its surrounding streets, taken into the federal register as a district. The second is a single house: the Jeremiah Service House, reference 00000216, entered 15 March 2000. Both files live in SHAARD, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources' State Historic Architectural and Archaeological Research Database, administered by the Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology, which is the state's seat for both nominations and the survey record beneath them. The filers are named, as the checklist requires, because in a small town the preservation record is itself a piece of civic history: the district's nomination was prepared by Glory-June Grieff in May 1992, a preservation historian whose hand is on much of northern Indiana's Register record, and whose own state historic-context overviews — her overview of commerce in Indiana, 1679–1890 (1989), and her overview of transportation in Indiana, 1670–1890 (1990) — stand in the nomination's bibliography as its scholarly frame. The Service House nomination was prepared by Dana Kopkowski in August 1999. Under both filings lies the fieldwork that made them possible: the Indiana Historic Sites and Structures Inventory of St. Joseph County, published at South Bend in 1981, the county survey in which the state's investigators first recorded the town's buildings one by one. The Register's own summary record for the district fixes its federal form: criteria in Event and in Architecture/Engineering, an area of significance in Commerce, styles in Italianate, Queen Anne and Italian Villa, the architect line reading, in full, "Unknown" — and periods of significance printed in the Register's bands running 1825–1949. That is the apparatus; the buildings follow.
