Intensive Level Survey of Guthrie Historic District

Abstract: "The document presents the findings of the intensive level architectural/historic resources surveyof the Guthrie Historic District in Guthrie, Oklahoma, listed in the National Historic Landmark (NHL) Program in 1999. The City of Guthrie (the City) commissioned Cox|McLain Environmental Consulting, Inc. (CMEC) to conduct a historic resources survey of the NHL district and to update the documentation associated with the district. The City will use the updated documentation to prepare an update to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) Registration Form for the district. CMEC historians conducted the survey on March 26 and 27, 2019. In total, resources on 132 parcels were evaluated. The study focused on the 69 contributing and 42 noncontributing resources identified in the Guthrie Historic District NHL nomination. Each resource in the district was reevaluated for contributing or noncontributing status. CMEC also reevaluated the NHL district's areas of significance, period of significance (POS), and boundaries. For buildings with dates that fall within the Guthrie Historic District NRHP's POS (1889 to 1929), CEMC made recommendations for contributing and noncontributing status, the NRHP district was listed in the NRHP in 1974 and updated in 1987. As the NRHP district boundary is much larger than the survey area, CMEC could not make a full evaluation of the district's areas of significance, POS, or boundaries. However, CMEC has made preliminary recommendations regarding contributing and noncontributing properties that could be applied if the POS of the NRHP district is expanded. CMEC also made recommendations for resources that are individually eligibility for listing in the NRHP. This report begins with an introduction to the project and the research design. Next, the project objectives, survey area, and survey methodology are described. The results of the survey are then presented along with a discussion of NRHP eligibility. Recommended boundaries of the historic districts are discussed next. A historic context is provided, followed by an annotated bibliography, report summary, and an acknowledgement of support. Included in the appendices are a GIS-based map of the survey results, an inventory table, and the Oklahoma State Historic Preservation Office (OK/SHPO) Historic Preservation Resource Identification (HPRI) for each resource. Printed photographs of each resource are also provided. All information is also included on a CD with survey data complied in the OK/SHPO's Access database." Project funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant to the State Historic Preservation Office, Oklahoma Historic Society, administered by the State, Tribal, Local Plans and Grants division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior (grant number P18AF00017).
