C. Criteria Considerations. Certain properties which include cemeteries, birthplaces, properties owned by religious institutions, or used for religious purposes, structures that have been moved from their original locations, properties commemorative in nature and properties that have achieved significance within the last fifty years, will not normally be considered for designation. However, such properties may qualify if they are integral parts of districts that do meet the criteria, or if they fall within the following categories: 1. A religious property deriving primary significance from architectural or artistic distinction of historical importance. 2. A building or structure removed from its location but which is primarily significant for architectural value, or is the surviving structure most importantly associated with an historic event or person. 3. A birthplace or grave of a historical figure of outstanding importance if there is no other appropriate site or building directly associated with his/her productive life. 4. A cemetery which derives its primary significance from graves of persons of transcendent importance, from age, distinctive design features, or from association with historic events.
