Intensive Level Survey of the Highland Park Historic District

Gaston, Kelli

Abstract: "This intensive level survey of properties located in a portion of southwest Ardmore was conducted in order to (1) to re-evaluate each property within the previously identified Highland Park Historic District according to the National Register Criterion for Evaluation, (2) to explore the possibility of expanding the boundaries of the previously identified Highland Park Historic District to the south, or (3) to consider the creation of additional historic district(s) in the area. The survey was conducted between February 2012 and May 2012. A total of three hundred seventy (370) resources were documented and evaluated. Of those properties, one hundred seventeen (117) were evaluated as contributing resources to the Highland Park Historic District and seventy-three (73) were evaluated as noncontributing to the Highland Park Historic District. Five (5) properties within the survey area were determined to be individually eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. An additional section of the survey area, comprised of the Highland Park II addition, portions of Lane Heights, and some unplatted areas warrant additional study in the coming years for their potential eligibility as a modern style historic district. The remaining one hundred seventy-nine (179) properties within the survey area are not individually eligible for the National Register and do not fit within the boundaries of the proposed district." Funding was provided in part by a 2011 Historic Preservation Fund grant to the City of Ardmore (project number OK-11-613) 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. Ardmore, Oklahoma is a Certified Local Government.
