The Marietta Historic District is a historic district in Marietta, Ohio, United States that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Among the buildings in the district are ones dating back to 1788,〔 the year in which Marietta was founded as the first white settlement in what is now Ohio.〔Hulbert, Archer Butler: ''The Records of the Original Proceedings of the Ohio Company, Volume I'', Marietta Historical Commission, Marietta, Ohio (1917).〕 Among its most significant buildings are the Rufus Putnam House and the Ohio Company Land Office, which are also separately listed on the Register,〔(Marietta Historic District ), Ohio Historical Society, 2007. Accessed 2009-12-05.〕 as well as the Washington County Courthouse, a contributing property. When the district was added to the Register in 1974, it encompassed an area roughly bounded by the Muskingum and Ohio Rivers and Warren, Third, Fifth, and Sixth Streets. In 2001, some of its original boundaries were slightly reduced, but it was also expanded greatly to include an area roughly bounded by Marion, Montgomery, Ohio, Greene, Butler, and Second through Ninth Streets, and the Ohio and Muskingum Rivers. The resulting district encompasses over and includes over two thousand contributing properties.〔 The National Register includes properties and districts that are considered historic under any of four criteria:〔"(How to Apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation )," (PDF), National Register Bulletins, National Park Service, 6. Retrieved 2009-12-05.〕 *Association with significant events in American history *Association with significant historical individuals *Well-preserved and historically significant architecture *Possibility of yielding archaeological evidence While most properties and districts on the Register qualify under one or two of the criteria, the Marietta Historic District qualifies under all four.〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marietta Historic District (Marietta, Ohio)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
