Abstract: "This report presents the findings of the intensive level survey of seventeen resources in the Oak Cliff Addition of Tulsa, Oklahoma. The survey was undertaken by Cathy Ambler, Principal Investigator, Tulsa, in conjunction with Elizabeth Rosin and the staff of Rosin Preservation, Kansas City, Missouri. The survey and historical research on Oak Cliff, conducted between January and June of 2012, provide a context within which to analyze the survey findings for their potential eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, either individually or as contributing resources within a historic district. The survey inventoried seventeen buildings. Of these resources, none are listed in the National Register. No individual resources appear potentially eligible for individual listing in the National Register; however, the surveyed resources appear to form a single historic district that meets the criteria for listing in the National Register. Within this district, sixteen of the seventeen surveyed buildings would be contributing. One resource is non-contributing due to alterations. The district boundaries also include seven resources that do not share the same associations with the Oak Cliff development and would therefore also be considered non-contributing. These seven resources were not included in the Oak Cliff survey, and will need to be formally evaluated for eligibility if an Oak Cliff historic district nomination is prepared. The report identifies the historic context for Oak Cliff which provides a basis for determining eligibility. It also connects the resources to a shared historical background, time frame, and geographic area." Funding was provided in part by a 2011 Historic Preservation Fund grant to the City of Tulsa (project number OK-11-608) administered by the Oklahoma State Historic Preservation Office (grant number 40-11-31943) and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. Tulsa, Oklahoma is a Certified Local Government.
