Stevenson Architects, Inc.

Introduction: "This survey is part of an ongoing effort by the City of St. Petersburg to identify and document the historic resources of the city's neighborhoods. It is funded by the City of St. Petersburg with assistance from the Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resources, as an ongoing part of the Great Neighborhood Partnership program. Previous survey work in the City has been conducted over a nineteen year period. A city wide survey was completed in 1977. The work was performed by the St. Petersburg Planning Department and a Historic Site Specialist from the State's Division of Historical Resources. This project resulted in the listing of approximately 600 of the City's architecturally and historically significant properties built before 1940. The survey also identified areas for future studies. In 1992, the City began a program of surveying neighborhoods, within the Great Neighborhood Partnership Program. Beginning with the Old Southeast Neighborhood, the survey recorded new data on 311 pre-1945 properties as will as updating files on 135 previously identified sites. The second phase of the Great Neighborhood Partnership survey focused on the areas of North Shore, Roser Park and a portion of Round Lake. This 1994 project was designed as a comprehensive survey and included all pre-1945 buildings, regardless of architectural integrity. This survey produced data on 2,511 buildings within the three survey areas. The current project focused on three neighborhoods; the western portion of the Uptown neighborhood, Crescent Heights and Crescent Lake. The project was designed to be an intensive historical/ architectural survey, including all structures built before 1945. Structures that have suffered some loss of architectural integrity have been retained in the survey list. A total of 1,242 structures were recorded, 1,230 were newly identified structures. and 12 were previously identified resources. Of this total, 416 of the structures were located in the Uptown neighborhood and 826 in the Crescent Lake and Crescent Heights neighborhoods." Funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant to the City of St. Petersburg administered by the Florida State Historic Preservation Office and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. St. Petersburg, Florida is a Certified Local Government.
