What makes a property historically significant?

Generally, historically significant properties are at least 50 years old, possess architectural, aesthetic or historical value. That value is typically judged by an association with events that have taken place over the course of time, for example, an association with a person who has made contributions to history, whose work is of architectural distinction, or is likely to yield information about our history or prehistory.
