National Register of Historic Places Nomination Form National Register of Historic Places Nomination Form For Lumpkin Heights and Elm Ridge Subdivision Historic District Mattoon, Illinois Prepared by Stephen A. Thompson and Carolyn Cloyd Coles County Historic Preservation Advisory Council April 2018 i Executive Summary The following document is the master National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) nomination form, which was submitted in a draft version to the Illinois State Historic Preservation Officer on 29 June 2017 for the Lumpkin Heights and Elm Ridge Subdivision Historic District (the District) located in the southeast quadrant of the city of Mattoon, Illinois. This NRHP document addresses the District’s historic significance regarding residential development and architectural resources within the broader historic contexts of the city of Mattoon. The research of the associated contexts and the preparation of the NRHP nomination form was undertaken by Coles County Historic Preservation Advisory Council members Stephen A. Thompson and Carolyn Cloyd, with the assistance of numerous past and contemporary District residents and other interested parties. The Coles County Historic Preservation Advisory Council is an historic preservation advisory body under the Coles County Regional Planning & Development Commission, which reports to the Coles County Board. After thorough research and evaluation it has been determined that the Lumpkin Heights and Elm Ridge Subdivision Historic District is eligible for listing on the NRHP in that it: 1. Is locally significant under NRHP Criterion A, “…events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history.” 2. Is locally significant under NRHP Criterion C, architectural resources which, “… embody distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction…,” for its association with U.S. residential architectural styles spanning the Late Victorian to Modern Movement Periods. 3. Retains a high percentage of its original, physical integrity. The draft version of this document was presented to and approved by the Illinois Historic Sites Advisory Council in Springfield, Illinois on 27 October 2017. Subsequently, the nomination was approved by Illinois State Historic Preservation Officer and forwarded to the National Park Service’s Keeper of the National Register in Washington, D.C. The final draft version of this document was approved by the Keeper and the District was entered in the National Register of Historic Places on 26 December 2017. The views/assessments conveyed within this document are the subjective opinions of primary preparers Stephen A. Thompson and Carolyn Cloyd. Any errors and omissions are the responsibility of the same. Stephen A.

Begin with a summary paragraph that briefly describes the general characteristics of the property, such as its location, type, and style, method of construction, setting, size, and significant features. Indicate whether the property has historic integrity). Summary Paragraph The Lumpkin Heights and Elm Ridge Subdivision Historic District is the city of Mattoon’s most architecturally diverse late 19th and early to mid-20th century residential neighborhood. Located on the southeast periphery of the original 19th century city plat, the district exhibits the characteristics of rural and suburban neighborhood types which are the by-product of informal and planned development initiatives undertaken by local landowners and speculators during the late 19th through the mid-20th centuries. The district’s architectural variants encompass in excess of a dozen styles and sub-types ranging within the Late Victorian, Late 19th/20th Century Revivals, Late 19th/Early 20th Century American Movement and Modern Movement style categories. A majority (92%) of the 144 primary buildings located within the boundaries of the district retain a high degree of their historic integrity and, in conjunction with associated detached buildings and infrastructure features, effortlessly conveys the sense of an early to mid-20th century Midwestern residential enclave. The district includes a total of 157 contributing buildings, 63 non-contributing buildings, 2 contributing sites (Lumpkin Park and Elm Ridge Park), and 1 contributing structure, Wabash Avenue (a brick street). ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Narrative Description The city of Mattoon is located in the east-central Illinois county of Coles approximately fifty miles west of Indiana’s western boundary and fifty miles south of Champaign-Urbana in Champaign County. The original town located in Mattoon Township was platted in the early 1850s in speculation of the domestic and industrial growth expected from the anticipated crossing of the Terre Haute & Alton and Illinois Central rail lines in eastern Mattoon Township. Located within the fertile prairie drained by the Embarras and Kaskaskia Rivers’ watersheds, the community

  • University of Georgia Historic Contexts
    University of Georgia Historic Contexts Historic Contexts Associated with the History of the University of Georgia Historic contexts are patterns, events, or trends in history that occurred within the time period for which a historic property is being assessed or evaluated. Historic contexts help to clarify the importance of a historic property by allowing it to be compared with other places that can be tied to the context. In the case of the University of Georgia, there are multiple historic contexts associated with the historic properties that are the focus of this study due to the complexity, age, and variety of resources involved. Historic contexts pertaining Figure 13. Wadham to the University of Georgia can be tied to trends in campus planning and design, College, Oxford. (Source: architectural styles, vernacular practices, educational practices and programs, Turner, 14) scientific research efforts, government programs, and archeology, among other topics. These trends can be seen as occurring at a local, state, or even national level. The section that follows presents an overview of several historic contexts identified in association with the UGA historic properties considered in detail later in this document, identified through research, documentation, and assessment efforts. The historic contexts presented below suggest the connections between physical development of UGA historic properties and themes, policies, Figure 14. Gonville and practices, and legislation occurring at a broader level, and list one or more Caius College, Cambridge. specific examples of the historic resources that pertain to each context. (Source: Turner, 13) Historic context information is used as a tool by preservation planners to assess if a property illustrates a specific historic context, how it illustrates that context, and if it possesses the physical features necessary to convey the aspects of history with which it is associated.

Jones 2006 i ABSTRACT In the winter of 2005 and early spring of 2006, the William and Mary Center for Ar- chaeological Research conducted reconnaissance and intensive architectural surveys of properties in the Tidewater cities of Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk, and Virginia Beach. The goal of the project was to document houses built from kits manu- factured by Sears, Roebuck, and Company in the five cities. Limited to a total of 195 reconnaissance surveys and 10 intensive surveys, the study is by no means exhaustive. Instead, the results and interpretation are intended to provide a baseline of information about kit houses within the five participating Tidewater cities and form a foundation for future research on kit houses in the region.

  • Draft June 23, 2019 Prepared by the Cranford Historic Preservation
    Historic Preservation Element – Draft June 23, 2019 Prepared by the Cranford Historic Preservation Advisory Board Copyright 2019 – All rights reserved Section I – Executive Summary The Historic Preservation Element (HPE) provides background and rationale for the preservation of Cranford’s architectural and land resources in the context of the Master Plan. It lays out the objectives of preservation, the town’s history, and a review of the historical resources that have been identified and previously described, as well as those that need to be examined further. It also presents the current issues facing Cranford, and some future preservation proposals. The town of Cranford as we know it started as Crane’s Ford, part of the West Fields of New Jersey, in the early 1700’s. Development really began in the 1860’s, and the town grew from the area near the railroad in what is now downtown. Large estates at the end of the 19th century gave way to denser neighborhoods with their own character as the 20th century progressed. Some of these estates and neighborhoods still exist and have been listed and described in Phase 1 Cranford Historic Resources Survey, completed in November 2016 by the Cranford Historic Preservation Advisory Board. This survey,which summarizes studies that have been done in the past, along with other documents about Cranford, serves as a basis for assessing Cranford’s historical and architectural resources and how they can fit in with the future direction and development of the town. The 2009 Master Plan contained a short section on historic preservation within the Land Use section, and the Township Code Section 6, Part 4 outlines the duties and powers of the Historic Preservation Advisory Board.
