Materials (continued Foundation Brick Concrete Stucco Walls Wood Stone Aluminum Stucco Asbestos Vinyl Statement of Purpose for Hamburg Historic District Amendment-Increase-Decrease The Hamburg Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 along with several other individual properties and historic districts as part of the Multiple Resource Application entitled “Historical and Architectural Resources of Davenport.” Over the last 33 years, a number of changes have occurred within the historic district and additional research has been conducted on several properties. A strong neighborhood organization and increased utilization of the federal and state historic tax credit programs within the neighborhood has stimulated investment in several blocks, while demolitions due to neglect, fire, and other community development have negatively impacted the historic district. This amendment project was thus designed to meet several goals to update the Hamburg Historic District: Boundary/Integrity: With demolitions of properties throughout the historic district but particularly along the edges, the overall integrity of the Hamburg Historic District and boundary of the district has been re- evaluated through this amendment. Currently, 360 buildings are located within the original district boundary. Overall, 92 houses/buildings and around 48 outbuildings/garages have been demolished within the original historic district since the listing in 1983. Demolitions and remaining block integrity were closely assessed. Additionally, a re-survey of the properties within the current district boundary was undertaken, including historic research on properties to assess their integrity and significance within the historic district. Properties immediately adjacent to the current district boundary were also evaluated at a limited level, with one property further researched and noted to relate to the significance of the historic district. Thus, the boundary has been increased to include this adjacent property. The boundary has also been decreased 3 DRAFT NOMINATION – 7/11/2016 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 Hamburg Historic District (amended) Scott County, Iowa Name of Property County and State _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ on the southeast corner, southwest corner, northwest corner, and northeast corner to eliminate half-blocks with a high number of demolitions, resulting low level of block integrity, and overall disconnect from the historic district, physically and historically. Period of significance: The period of significance was defined in the original nomination as a broad period, without specific dates included in the nomination. Thus, definition of a period of significance was included among the goals for the amendment. With the research completed for the amendment project, a more specific period of significance related to the significant historical and architectural development of the Hamburg Historic District was defined (1848-1926). Resource classifications: The original survey and nomination classified properties as “A” (key contributing), “B” (contributing), and “C” (non-contributing). It did not include a specific resource count of contributing and non-contributing properties, though mapping was located that showed key contributing, contributing, and non-contributing resources (key contributing is no longer used as a category). As noted, a number of demolitions have also occurred throughout the historic district over the past 33 years, affecting counts of both contributing and non-contributing resources. Other resources that appear as contributing or non-contributing on the mapping have also been rehabilitated or otherwise altered, affecting their integrity and status within the historic district. Thus, the survey and research component of the project included re-evaluation of each property within the historic district to update contributing and non- contributing evaluations. Brick streets and alleys, often included as contributing resources in more recent nominations, were also not included in the original nomination. The amended nomination thus includes re- evaluation of the status of each resource within the district and a specific count of resources within the amended boundary for the Hamburg
