The State Register of Historic Places is the State of Connecticut’s official listing of structures and landmarks important to the historical development of Connecticut. The State Register uses the same criteria for listing as the National Register except that special-case considerations (such as a 50-year age requirement) are not applicable. Since 1975 over 50,000 properties owned by private citizens, organizations, municipalities, and the State of Connecticut have been listed on the State Register.

Properties are listed on the State Register by the Historic Preservation Council following review and recommendation by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) staff.  All local historic properties and local historic districts are automatically listed on the State Register.  Also, all properties listed on the National Register are automatically listed on the State Register.
