  • East End and Davis Bottom
    EAST END AND DAVIS BOTTOM: A STUDY OF THE DEMOGRAPHIC AND LANDSCAPE CHANGES OF TWO NEIGHBORHOODS IN LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY MASTER’S PROJECT A Master’s Project submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Master of Historic Preservation in the College of Design at the University of Kentucky By Heather M. Dollins Lexington, Kentucky Chair: Dr. Karl Raitz, Professor of Geography Lexington, Kentucky 2011 Copyright © Heather M. Dollins 2011 ABSTRACT OF MASTER’S PROJECT EAST END AND DAVIS BOTTOM: A STUDY OF THE DEMOGRAPHIC AND LANDSCAPE CHANGES OF TWO NEIGHBORHOODS IN LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY This master’s project focuses on two separate neighborhoods in Lexington, Kentucky. Davis Bottom and the East End were predominately as post-Civil War African American urban clusters. The boundaries of the two chosen study areas were located within those two neighborhoods and based on size, location, and past, current, and future threats. The goals within the project are: to conduct in-depth archival research on the histories of selected areas within Davis Bottom and the East End; to use that research to expand on existing historic contexts and background research for each neighborhood; to survey all historic resources within each study area in accordance with State Historic Preservation Office standards; and to describe the current condition of the two neighborhoods. An important aspect of this project is the further development of the historic contexts of each study area. To expand the histories, primary documents such as census records, city directories, deeds, maps, and newspapers were consulted. Together all of these provided statistical data of the demographics and infrastructure of the Davis Bottom and East End study areas.

    DARREN J. TAYLOR 239 N. Mill St., Gratz Park | LEXINGTON, KY 40507 | 502.424.0032 | [email protected] OVERVIEW I am currently the owner, designer and preservationist at the Darren Taylor Design Studio in Lexington and Louisville, KY. I also serve as an instructor in the Historic Preservation department at the University of Kentucky College of Design. My work in the field mainly deals with the adaptive reuse of historic structures and contemporary additions to historic structures along with new construction work across various disciplines. With over fifteen years in the design and building trade, I bring a wealth of experience to my endeavors. I hold a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Kentucky, a Master of Architecture degree and a Certificate in Historic Preservation, both from the University of Pennsylvania. I am a past Governor (Beshear) appointed member of the Kentucky Historic Properties Advisory Commission and serve on several local design and preservation-based boards and committees. My pedagogy in the classroom is focused on the erosion of “glass box” preservation ideals and the theory that what is old isn’t always important and what is important isn’t always old. I am always pushing my students to look at found objects as malleable elements where opportunities for contemporary space can be infused and complementary. I have presented these ideals on the state level, most recently at the 2014 Governor’s Mansion symposium in his speech entitled “The Preservation and Valuation of Public Buildings as our Shared Heritage – Owning Everyone’s Architecture”. I also push my students to assess and derive value out of the vernacular moments in found architectures and environments.

Ashland Park: A Sympathetic .Bungalow Environment Clay Lancaster AsHLAND PARK is in Lexington, Kentucky. Its name comes from the estate of Henry Clay, America's formost nineteenth­ century senator. Henry Clay called his suburban home "Ashland" after the native trees abounding on the property, and Ashland Park is a subdivision made from Clay's estate. The boundary of · Lexington had remained fixed for 116 years, and the area considered was taken into the initial extension of the city limits of 1907. Ashland Park was among the first subdivisions and the principal one laid out in this addition. It had an innovative informality that was to be adopted in the later residential expansion of the city. Lexington originally was contained within the circumference of a mile-radius circle centered on the courthouse, within which was a rectangular grid with a few radiating streets continuous with turnpikes connecting to neighboring towns.

  • Environmental and Green Infrastructure General
    Environmental and Green Infrastructure General Green infrastructure is an interconnected network of landscapes and natural resources that contributes to environmental health as well as the health and quality of life for the citizens of Lexington-Fayette County. Previous Comprehensive Plans have recognized that the interrelationship of the natural environment to land use planning is a critical component to the long-range growth management and development of our community. Green infrastructure planning broadens previous conservation planning concepts by recognizing it as the fundamental framework for meeting current and future ecological, economic and social needs. As our population and energy consumption continue to increase, there is an escalating demand on our natural environment and greenspace. With depleting natural resources and impeded natural processes comes an inevitable decline in the productivity of the environment to support living organisms or human activity, i.e. “sustainability.” Green infrastructure planning recognizes that a healthy ecosystem is the foundation for our community’s prosperity and very existence. Green infrastructure necessitates a comprehensive, holistic approach to natural resource and greenspace planning and management, resulting in a balance between ecologic and human needs. Infrastructure is defined as the substructure or underlying foundation, especially the basic installations and facilities on which the continuance and growth of a community or state depends. Communities routinely provide “gray infrastructure” such as roads, utilities and public buildings. Like gray infrastructure, designating natural resources and landscapes as “infrastructure” elevates them equally as essential and necessary to the functioning of the community. Natural resources are composed of biotic (flora and fauna) and physical (land and water) systems.
