City of Greeley, 7th Avenue Survey, 2008: Historic Context and Survey Report

Courkamp, Kelly

From introduction: "During the spring and summer of 2007, City of Greeley Historic Preservation staff conducted a reconnaissance survey of the area between 13th and 22nd Streets and 5th and 8th Avenues. The purpose of the reconnaissance survey was to determine a plan for an intensive level survey, including establishing the boundaries of future survey areas and identifying the architectural and historical themes of the area. In 2008, the City of Greeley received funding from a Certified Local Government grant through the Colorado Historical Society (CLG Grant # CO-08-012) to conduct a comprehensive, intensive-level survey of 48 properties between 17th and 18th Streets and 6th and 8th Avenues. The survey area was selected because the houses within the survey area retain a fair amount of integrity as well as potential for architectural significance. This is the first intensive level survey within the larger reconnaissance survey area. The purpose of the survey is to comprehensively document the resources in the survey area and determine if properties are eligible for the National, State, or Greeley Historic Registers... The survey resulted in the completion of 48 intensive-level Colorado Cultural Resource Survey Architectural Inventory Forms. As expected, the majority of the resources in the neighborhood are single family homes, but 61% (29 of 48) are used as rental properties and rented by college students. Of the 48 resources surveyed, nine homes are potentially eligible for the Greeley Historic Register and one home is potentially eligible for the Greeley Historic Register, Colorado State Register of Historic Places, and for the National Register of Historic Places." Project funding was provided in part by a 2008 Historic Preservation Fund grant to City of Greeley (project number CO-08-012) administered by the Colorado State Historic Preservation Office (grant number 08-08-21710) administered by the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. Greeley, Colorado is a Certified Local Government.
