Fairmount DHR application now available

As promised at the October 11 meeting at EDI, the Fairmount draft application to the National Register of Historic Places (PDF) has now been made available. This 121-page document includes a resource inventory with information on each of the 700+ buildings in the area, a description of the architectural styles in the area, and a detailed history of the area. Also included with the application is a a detailed map of the area (PDF).
Do you have any idea about where the descriptions of the houses come from? The dates are different from the city’s estimated dates.
contgradulations, i see that the nomination is scheduled for the december review meeting with the map on the dhr site. house dates generally come from the surveyor
There’s a 30 year difference between the NPS date estimate and the city’s for my house. Of course the city’s estimate coincides with the approximate date of annexation, so perhaps that’s where their # comes from. Still, 30 years is a big gap… Any clues how I might solve the mystery and do some research on my house history?
Barbara Smith does house genealogies. She lives in the neighborhood and her email is bsmithclay@comcast.net
My wife found out some very cool info about the people that had lived in our house over the years by looking in the Hill Books in the Main St. library.
I about peed on myself when I saw this post on CHPN listed in the footnotes of the application.
