Resurvey Report: Anadarko Historic Resources Update, West Residential Area and Business District (includes National Register of Historic Places Downtown Historic District)

Ambler, Cathy

From introduction: "In 1986 the Association of South Central Oklahoma Governments (ASCOG), located in Duncan, Oklahoma, prepared a Historic Structures Inventory of Anadarko, Oklahoma. This report was a basic inventory funded in part by federal funds from the National Park Service, Department of the Interior. The 1986 survey divided Anadarko into four residential areas: an East, West, North, South Residential, and the Downtown area. The Downtown area was evaluated later for eligibility as a historic district, and in December 1990, a core area was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. The 1986 survey inventoried only residences or commercial buildings. It included photos of the selected building inventory, a brief architectural description and building construction dates. Many buildings were excluded based on insufficient age, or the appearance of insufficient age. In the West Residential District and the Downtown Historic District alone approximately seventy buildings were excluded. Those that were surveyed are included in the survey publication, "Anadarko Preservation Plan, Volume One, Historic Inventory." Almost twenty years have passed since the ASCOG study. This study is being updated, however. The East Residential area was resurveyed in 1992, for example, and a final report completed in 1994 for the Anadarko Certified Local Government. As mentioned, the downtown area was resurveyed for the nomination of the Anadarko Downtown Historic District to the National Register in 1990. This 2004 study updates two more sections of the 1986 inventory." Funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant 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.
