Heggland, Timothy

Abstract: "This report documents an intensive architectura/historical survey of all resources located within a project area that corresponds to the Town of Perry in Dane County, Wisconsin as of January 1, 2006. The boundaries of the study area was set by the Town of Perry in conjunction with the staff of the State of Wisconsin's Division of Historic Preservation prior to the beginning of this study. Subsequently, a reconnaissance survey of this area was undertaken by the principal investigator as the first part of the intensive architectural/historical survey, after which an intensive research effort designed to ascertain the historic and architectural significance of the resources identified by the reconnaissance survey was undertaken by the principal investigator. The results of this research is summarized in this intensive survey report and they are also embodied in individual survey cards for all the resources studied, which were prepared in both printed and electronic forms to standards set by the Division of Historic Preservation. The purpose of this intensive survey project was two-fold; to identify all the resources within the study area that are potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, and to provide the Town of Perry, Dane County, and other state, and national agencies with a comprehensive data base that covers all the historic resources within the study area. The intensive survey ultimately surveyed 46 individual resources and groups of resources. Of these, nine individual buildings and building complexes were identified as having potential for listing in the National Register." Project funding was provided in part by a 2005 Historic Preservation Fund grant to the Town of Perry (project number WI-05-002) administered by the Wisconsin State Historic Preservation Office (grant number 55-05-20453) and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. Perry, Wisconsin is a Certified Local Government.
