From abstract: "In November 2015, Adapt ǀ re:Adapt Preservation and Conservation, LLC (Adapt ǀ re:Adapt) was contracted by the City of Enid, Oklahoma (the City) to perform a reconnaissance level survey of historic-age resources in the Indian Hills Subdivision. The project is intended to satisfy requirements under the City of Enid’s Certified Local Government program, administered by the Oklahoma State Historic Preservation Office (OK/SHPO). Historic‐age resources are defined as buildings, structures, objects, districts, or sites that are 50 years old or older. The study area is located west of downtown Enid in Garfield County, Oklahoma. The survey effort provides data concerning these resources and assessments of National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) eligibility. The scope of work completed by Adapt ǀ re:Adapt consisted of performing a reconnaissance level survey in accordance with the standards of documentation established by the National Park Service and the OK/SHPO for a survey area roughly bounded by Owen K. Garriott Road (US Highway 412), east of Cleveland Street, north of the former railroad right‐of‐way for the Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific Railroad (now the City of Enid Walking Trail), and one‐half mile west of Van Buren Street (US Highway 81). The scope included: identification of no less than 100 properties within the survey area, regardless of age or condition; identification and documentation sufficient to determine if the area warrants further study for the evaluation of National Register of Historic Places eligibility within for the district; completion of OK/SHPO Historic Preservation Resource Identification Forms and two elevation photographs of each property surveyed; preparation of maps, collection of GPS data, completion of project report and historic context. This project report includes a discussion of the research design and project objectives, a description of the project area, a presentation of the survey methodology, survey results, a discussion of the boundaries of the Indian Hills Historic District and justification for the boundaries, a discussion of resources that do not meet the NRHP eligibility criteria, a historic context of Indian Hills, an annotated bibliography, and summary... During the survey 118 resources were recorded. There is one historic district recommended eligible for the NRHP: the potential Indian Hills Historic District. Within the recommended historic district, 95 resources are recommended contributing and 23 are recommended non‐contributing. The noncontributing resources are recommended as such due to lack of integrity. A total number of six resources have been recommended eligible for inclusion in the NRHP as individual properties." Funding was provided in part by a 2015 Historic Preservation Fund grant to the City of Enid (project number OK-15-601) administered by the Oklahoma State Historic Preservation Office (grant number P15AF00050) and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. Enid, Oklahoma is a Certified Local Government.
