Abstract: "This report is a consolidation of the findings of an intensive level survey of downtown Oklahoma City, conducted in four phases between 2009 and 2012. The first phase of survey was undertaken by Sally Schwenk Associates, Inc., Preservation Professionals, of Kansas City, Missouri. The remaining three phases were undertaken by URS Corporation of Dallas, Texas. This report provides an analysis of the surveys’ findings, with descriptions of the resources identified as having the potential to be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, either individually or as contributing resources within a historic district. The four phases of survey inventoried 1082 resources; of these, 44 individual properties and two districts are currently listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The survey identified an additional 100 properties as potentially eligible for individual listing in the National Register, and 25 potentially-eligible historic districts. The Survey identified eleven properties as warranting further study to determine eligibility, and eight properties were recommended for reconsideration upon reaching 50 years of age. Remaining resources were not considered eligible at the time of the Survey because of their age (less than 50 years old), or because they do not appear to retain enough integrity to be eligible for listing in the National Register. The historic context used for determining eligibility is summarized herein. In addition, the four phases of the survey each include a full historic context, description of methodology, and survey results section and are attached as appendixes to this report." Funding was provided in part by a 2012 Historic Preservation Fund grant to the City of Oklahoma City (project number OK-12-607) administered by the Oklahoma State Historic Preservation Office (grant number 40-12-41943) and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma is a Certified Local Government.
