The survey recognizes significant buildings and structures and identifies those most in need Of protection. During the Phase IV process, the survey team documented and evaluated forty principal properties that boast both historic and modem buildings and structures. The resultant survey will be used for land-use decisions, education and research projects, publications, and identification of eligible landmarks. It documents the significant facts Of the past that represent the distinctive history of the study area.
