"Town of Grandview" Historic Resources Re-Survey

Nugent, Rachel; Lenhausen, Emily

From the introduction: "The City of Grandview (City) contracted with Rosin Preservation, LLC to conduct a reconnaissance-level resurvey of historic resources within the boundaries of a previous survey, ''Town of Grand View' Missouri', conducted in 2003 which includes the original town plat of Grandview. The purpose of this resurvey is to provide updated information concerning the presence of historic resources, their National Register eligibility, and to document any alterations or changes in integrity that may ave occurred since the 2003 survey. This roughly 128-acre area contains a mixture of commercial, residential, educational, and industrial resources associated with the City's early development through to the present. The 'Town of Grandview' Historic Resources Re-Survey encompasses four objectives: 1) to identify, record, photograph, and evaluate through architectural/historic survey those individual properties and potential districts in the Survey Area that, on the basis of age, integrity and associations, meet the eligibility criteria for listing in the National Register of Historic Places; 2) to substantiate such assessments and to identify and characterize those portions of the Survey Area which, on the basis of insufficient age or integrity, exclude them from consideration for nomination in the National Register of Historic Places and to substantiate such assessments; 3) to update data generated during the 2003 survey of the project area, including identifying any changes in integrity or National Register eligibility; and 4) to provide updated recommendations for future preservation activities based on the findings of the resurvey. During March 2018, Rosin Preservation associates Rachel Nugent and Emily Lenhausen, and sub-consultant Brad Finch performed survey activities. Ms. Lenhausen and Mr. Finch completed field survey and photography. Ms. Nugent and Ms. Lenhausen entered data into a Microsoft Access Database. Finally, Ms. Nugent and Ms. Lenhausan analyzed the data, prepared the historic context, developed survey recommendations, and prepared this report of findings." Project funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant to the Missouri State Historic Preservation Office administered by the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of Interior (grant number P17AF00060).
