Listed 29 March 2007 · 26 March 2014
The town holds two National Register listings, and they divide its built history between them. North Liberty Park, at 309 North Jefferson Street, was listed on 29 March 2007 (reference 07000211) as a historic district of two contributing buildings, one contributing site, three contributing structures and two contributing objects. The North Liberty Commercial Historic District — the listing most carriers shorten to North Liberty Historic District — was listed on 26 March 2014 (reference 14000077), encompassing fourteen contributing buildings in the central business district, eligible under Criteria A and C as, in the nomination's summary, a demonstration of "the development of commerce in small Midwestern towns during the last part of the 19th century into the middle of the 20th century," its architecture "mostly simple interpretations of the styles." The nomination was prepared by Kurt Garner and dated January 2014 in the Park Service file. Behind both listings stands the Indiana State Historic Architectural and Archaeological Research Database (SHAARD), the state's survey record, which the nomination cites for its building entries. No separate published city architectural survey for North Liberty was reached; the nomination and the park nomination together are the survey of record, and a full SHAARD pull for Liberty Township stands as a named gap.
