From introduction: "On behalf of the City of Syracuse Bureau of Planning and Sustainability, edr Companies (edr) conducted a historic resources reconnaissance survey for the former Village of Danforth, which is now part of the Southside Neighborhood in the City of Syracuse, Onondaga County, New York. The historic resources survey was funded by a Certified Local Government (CLG) grant from the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation (NYSOPRHP). The goals of this project included the following: To contribute to the identification and recognition of the City’s significant historic resources. To foster and encourage interest in the history of the City of Syracuse and the Southside Neighborhood. To involve neighborhood residents and other community stakeholders in the historic resources survey process to provide community members with tools for grassroots preservation advocacy. To contribute to ongoing efforts to revitalize the Southside Neighborhood. The historic resources survey study area is located in the Southside Neighborhood of the City of Syracuse, in Onondaga County, New York (see Figure 1). The study area is defined by the approximate limits of the former Village of Danforth, and includes an area approximately six-by-seven blocks in size, bounded by Castle Street (on the north), Onondaga Creek (on the west), Beard Avenue (on the south), and Interstate 81 (on the east). This neighborhood was formerly incorporated as the Village of Danforth in 1874, and subsequently annexed by the City of Syracuse in 1887. The Village of Danforth Historic Survey is intended to identify and recognize those buildings that reflect and express the history and character of the neighborhood." Funding was provided in part by a 2011 Historic Preservation Fund grant to the City of Syracuse (project number NY-11-48) administered by the New York State Historic Preservation Office (grant number 36-11-31939) and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
