Final Survey Report: Heart of the Ville
Josse L and Allen M. 2010. Final Survey Report: Heart of the Ville. City of St. Louis Cultural Resources Office of the Planning and Urban Design Agency; Saint Louis Development Corporation; Missouri Department of Natural Resources
From introduction: "The “Heart of the Ville” survey is the result of the successful St. Louis Cultural Resources Office (CRO) application for a Historic Preservation Grant to survey the Ville neighborhood, a local historic district with outstanding significance and uneven integrity. The original application was for a survey of over 700 properties. In final grant negotiations, CRO and the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) agreed on a more manageable project of 300 properties. The survey was designed as a cooperative effort between the City of St. Louis CRO and consultants Lynn Josse and Michael Allen. In November, 2009, Lynn Josse signed a contract with the city to provide a reconnaissance survey of 300 properties within the boundaries of the Ville neighborhood. Because this number would include fewer than half of the potentially historic residential and commercial properties within the originally identified survey area, Cultural Resources and the contractors targeted a much smaller set of blocks within the Ville. The new boundaries were selected based on the level of threat to the targeted resources... The overall objective of the survey was to identify and evaluate residentialand commercial properties for listing in the National Register of Historic Places within the context of the Historic and Architectural Resources of the Ville MPS and proposed amendments, and to identify potential expansions to the MPS to include significant resources that would otherwise be excluded." Funding was provided in part by a 2010 Historic Preservation Fund grant to the City of St. Louis Cultural Resources Office of the Planning and Urban Design Agency and the Saint Louis Development Corporation (project number MO-10-020) administered by the Missouri State Historic Preservation Office (grant number 29-10-21932) and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. St. Louis, Missouri is a Certified Local Government.
