Note
A noun turned into an official act: the verb landmark means to designate a site or building formally as a landmark, and it belongs to American usage. As a gerund it names the whole process, taking its object directly (landmarking the district) or through of (the landmarking of the district). The noun's older senses, a boundary stone or a navigator's guide, play no part here; the -ing form always means the designation.
