From abstract: "This document serves as the final written report for the Architectural/Historic Survey of El Reno and Portions of Canadian County. The Oklahoma Historic Preservation Survey, an adjunct of the Department of History at Oklahoma State University, performed the work between September 1, 1987 and August 31, 1988 under a contract (#40-87-20031.008) with the State Historic Preservation Office of the Oklahoma Historical Society. Project personnel conducted a reconnaissance level survey within seven pre-determined study areas in order to identify: (1) individual properties which warrant further study for possible inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places; (2) potential districts eligible for the National Register; and, (3) areas which lack historic resources and thus require no future consideration for National Register eligibility. This activity was concentrated in the central business districts and immediately adjacent area of Calumet, El Reno, Mustang, Okarche, Piedmont, Richland, and Union City -- all within Canadian County, Oklahoma and the State Historic Preservation Office's Management Region #6. In all, the survey documented 203 properties, 138 of which were determined as worthy of additional investigation to determine their eligibility to the National Register of Historic Places. Some of these are contained in eight potential historic districts. A historic context document for El Reno specifically was also prepared. Along with the individual property files generated by the survey component of the project, it seeks to facilitate the management of land within all the study areas in a manner which is sensitive to their historic resources." Funding was provided in part by a 1987 Historic Preservation Fund grant administered by the Oklahoma State Historic Preservation Office (project number OK-87-008, grant number 40-87-20031) and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
