All Historic Houses (Individual Landmarks)

Individually named historic houses in this atlas's Residential Buildings subcategory that do not fit any of the subcategory's other subtype groups: not a villa, manor or country house, farmstead or homestead, cottage or small house, rowhouse, apartment building, historic district of multiple buildings, vernacular dwelling of a named traditional culture, or, per its own description, a house whose primary significance to this atlas is as an individually authored architectural statement by a named modern-movement architect (that narrower case is Architecturally Significant Houses). Most of what remains, once those subtypes are set aside, is the plain historic house: a named residence significant chiefly for its age, a former owner's biography, or a landmark designation such as the United States National Register of Historic Places or a comparable listing abroad, rather than for any of those other more specific reasons. Belongs here: any such individually named house. Does not belong here: a member that genuinely fits one of this subcategory's other eight groups instead, each of which is the more specific and more useful placement when it applies. Because this group alone holds 279 members, well past this wave's own grouping floor, it takes its own second level by region rather than staying one flat list; see this group's own six region children.
