Architectural/Historic Intensive Level Survey of Portions of Shawnee, Oklahoma

Department of Geography, Oklahoma state University

Abstract: "Under contract to the Oklahoma State Historic Preservation Office, Principal Investigator George o. Carney and two Research Assistants Matthew Winston and Steve Buchholz, all from the Oklahoma state University Department of Geography, conducted an Intensive Level Survey of Shawnee, Oklahoma during the 1993-94 fiscal year. That survey included two areas: (1) a thirty-seven block residential area, and (2) a twenty-three block (thirteen full blocks and twenty partial blocks) commercial area. Survey Area 1 was bounded as follows: starting at initial point of Dill and Kickapoo, south to Highland, east to Union, north to Bruce, west to Broadway, south to Dill, and west to initial point. Survey Area 2 was defined as Main and Ninth Streets, bounded by Kickapoo on the west and the west curb line of Tucker on the east. Almost 1,000 properties were minimally recorded and photographed including completion of the Historic Preservation Resource Identification Form and two elevation photographs for each. This document includes an extensive narrative that furnishes an historical context for the two study areas, maps that illustrate the areas surveyed, a research design for the project and the methodology used to implement it, an annotated bibliography pertinent to the study areas, and, most important, the results of the intensive level survey. Among those results are a discussion of the different types of properties encountered in the field, an identification of individual properties and historic districts that meet National Register criteria, an examination of areas and properties that warrant further study, and an analysis of those areas and properties that fail to meet National Register requirements and should receive no further consideration. An evaluation of the architectural significance of the properties is provided by Professor Jeffrey Williams of the School of Architecture, Oklahoma State University." Funding was provided in part by a 1993 Historic Preservation Fund grant administered by the Oklahoma State Historic Preservation Office and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
