Architectural Surveys and District Evaluations
Kansas City, Jackson County, Missouri 2010
In July of 2010, Preservation Services and Technology Group was awarded a contract to perform an architectural survey of over 1200 individual historic resources in Kansas City, Missouri. The project was divided between two historic neighborhoods; Troostwood and Manheim. Both neighborhoods developed as early twentieth century extensions of Kansas City during one of its many economic boom periods.
The Troostwood Neighborhood is a good example of a working class, moderate income housing development that embodies regional and national styles of architecture. It is being nominated as part of the project for listing in the National Register of Historic Places as a residential historic district.
Manheim is an area that has undergone significant improvements to its architectural stock over the years. While once noted for its "run-down" appearance, it is steadily rebounding to become a vibrant community devoted to pride of ownership and restoration. It too may become the focus of a National Register nomination in the near future!
Combining field work and archival research we created an online inventory of both neighborhoods and worked closely with the City of Kansas City historic preservation leaders to accomplish the work.
