In North Carolina private interiors can also be included in landmark
designation, with the owner's permission. But the spaces designated must
meet the criteria for significance, and you have to spell it all out.
You can't just say "the interior is designated." You have to describe
the interior (or portions thereof) specifically, and state why it is
being designated.
