From introduction: "The Central City-Black Hawk Historic District was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1961 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966. The nomination was updated and the boundaries expanded in 1991. When the 1991 nomination was completed, there were a total of 294 contributing resources within the Central City portion of the district (47 commercial buildings, 17 community buildings, 213 domestic buildings, 7 industrial buildings, and 10 sites and objects). The nomination also recorded 27 non-contributing resources. A three-phase survey update was conducted by Heritage Research Center, Ltd. from 1998 to 2000 to re-evaluate resources within the district... A total of 322 resources were surveyed. Of these, 243 resources were evaluated as contributing to the district and 79 were evaluated as non-contributing. Of the non-contributing resources, 32 were determined non-contributing because they were constructed outside of the district period of significance (1859-1918). The remaining 47 buildings were determined non-contributing due to a loss of integrity." Project funding was provided in part by a 2014 Historic Preservation Fund grant to the City of Central City (project number CO-14-014) administered by the Colorado State Historic Preservation Office (grant number P14AF00031) and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. Central City, Colorado is a Certified Local Government.
