June 7, 2007 --
PSATG is conducting a thorough analysis of the South Park Neighborhood in Winchester, Clark County, Kentucky, for a National Register nomination on behalf of the Winchester Historic Preservation Commission. The nomination will include a narrative statement of significance and a specific assessment of boundaries, an inventory of contributing and non-contributing structures, and assessments of overall aspects of historic integrity. Likewise, a complete set of maps with current geographic data will be generated, while the entire nomination will meet the standards set forth in National Register Bulletin 16A.

1930s -- [A few highlights]

In the 1930s WPA workers paved the streets and added concrete gutters (photo 1). It is not known whether these roads were paved prior to this date.
View of Highland, looking North, ca. 1930 (photo 2). Notice the dome of the First Christian Church in the upper left. Overall, the neighborhood setting has not changed much since the 1930s (the design, materials, scale, workmanship, and placement of houses look familiar to us today).
Photograph 3 captures a scene from an early political rally. A large group of people gathered outside of the Buckner House on French Avenue. Patriotic red, white, and blue banners add a festive flare to the event. Clearly, the members of this community were engaged in civic life and concerned about the well-being of their neighborhood and the political issues of the day.
