Final Survey Report, Troy Downtown District, Troy, Lincoln County, Missouri

Keenoy, Ruth

From introduction: "The following report provides the findings of the architectural/historic survey completed per the specifications outlined by the City of Troy / Troy Historic Preservation Commission (HPC). The survey area is roughly bounded by Annie Avenue (north), Second Street (east), Kemper Street (south), and Court Street (west). For the purposes of this document, the study area is defined as the “Troy Downtown District.” The objective of the survey was to identify properties within the city’s business district that are eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The Troy Downtown District encompasses 47 properties that appear to be a minimum of 50 years of age. All of the properties were recorded during the survey. Forty-two of the documented properties comprise a NRHP-eligible district in relation to Criterion A: commerce and Criterion C: architecture. Seven properties within the proposed boundaries are non-contributing to the district. The project was completed by Ruth Keenoy, a historic preservation consultant. Fieldwork was conducted in April - May, 2010; and research was completed in May – August, 2010. As noted, all of the buildings that appear to be at least 50 years of age within the study area were recorded (a total of 47 properties). The survey included completion of one original and one copy of the Architectural/Historic Survey forms, submitted to the Missouri State Historic Preservation Office (MO-SHPO). The MO-SHPO also received 5” x 7” black and white photographs for each inventoried property, color digital (.tif formatted) photos on cd, copies of maps, and the survey report. The City of Troy received copies of all documents noted above (i.e., survey forms, maps, photos, and the survey report) on cd and copies of the black and white photographs. The following report provides the results of the Troy Downtown District survey project, completed in April – August 2010. The survey was funded in part by the MO-SHPO. The purpose of the study was to identify and recommend properties within the study area that appear eligible for the NRHP – individually and/or as a downtown commercial district. The “Results” section of this document provides a complete list of the inventoried properties, addresses, and eligibility recommendations and overview of the associated historic contexts and further recommendations. The survey and district maps are provided at the end of this document as Attachments 1 and 2." Funding was provided in part by a 2010 Historic Preservation Fund grant to the City of Troy (project number MO-10-023) 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.
