A complete description of all the DPR forms is available online at this address.

The OHP Manual describes the 523B Form as:

The BSO Record can be used to evaluate and present detailed information about buildings, structures,

and objects. The Linear Feature Record may be used as a supplement to the BSO Record when documenting

and evaluating linear structures such as roads, canals, and railroad grades. Detailed instructions for

preparing the BSO Record are provided below.

 

The main sections of the data entry for 523B are as follows:

---

Header Information - The header includes a spot for the Primary Number and HRI number. These are pre-populated from the Resource record, but it may be altered for this form.

 

NRHP Status Code And Resource Name or Number - These 2 optional fields are listed on the "b" form before the required fields.

 

 

B1 - B6 - History and Usage - The next 5 fields  indicate the provenance and usage of the building in question. The "Common Name" and "Original Use" Fields are pre-populated from the resource information. The drop down box for architectural style is populated from a lookup list maintained by CHRID Admin.
