"Prince, Paisley Park, and Historic Preservation"

http://www.huffingtonpost...83836.html

So what of Paisley Park? Constructed in 1985, it is still ostensibly nineteen years from being eligible for the National Register on purely historical or architectural merit. However, Prince’s first eponymous platinum album was released in 1979, so his celebrity status is now thirty-seven years old (just to make us all feel ancient). It is also clear that like Graceland, Paisley Park was an extension of the singer himself, its design and function connected to Prince in a way distinct from most musicians’ multi-million dollar party pads. There is precedent for waiving the fifty-year requirement for the homes of popular musicians whose work resonates strongly with the American public, and Paisley Park may be an excellent candidate for a similar exception.
