A National Register of Historic Places Registration Form for the Jackson Boulevard Historical District. Narrative Description Summary Paragraph: "This historic district is relatively small, primarily residential district located just northeast of the historic downtown. Located within the district are eleven individually listed homes that contain a total of eleven secondary structures. In addition to the individually listed properties are thirty-three contributing and twenty-two non-contributing buildings. The sizes of lots vary from large to small. The streets are tree-lined and arranged in a grid pattern with alleys. Most houses are set back a standard distance from the street. The district is architecturally defined with Queen Anne, Italianate, Tudor Revival, Craftsman/Bungalow, Minimal Traditional, Modern, and Ranch styles." Statement of Significance Summary Paragraph: "The Jackson Boulevard Historical District meets National Register Criterion C and is significant at the local level in the area of Architecture with a period of significance extending from 1882 to 1961. The period of significance begins in 1882 with the construction of the earliest surviving building in the district, and extends to 1961, when the active period of construction in the district ceased. The contributing homes and secondary buildings that make up the Jackson Boulevard Historic District provide clear insight into the prominence and diversity of their owners through their level of architectural design and varying styles. As such it is a good representation of late-nineteenth and early twentieth-century residential architecture in Spearfish, which is a testament to the growth and prosperity of Spearfish during this period." Project funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant to the South Dakota State Historical Society administered by the State, Tribal, Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior (grant number P18AF00022.
