Southeast Denton Historic Resource Survey and Nomination to the National Register

The City of Denton is seeking a qualified consultant to perform a comprehensive survey of historic buildings, structures, landscapes, and objects in the Southeast Denton neighborhood. The goal is to publish an inventory of significant historic properties and document the experiences of the generations who lived in the neighborhood. The survey will identify and prepare at least one nomination to the National Register, survey the community's historic African American churches and neighborhoods, and connect the historical context of living, learning, worshiping, and working in Southeast Denton with those culturally and architecturally significant sites. The contractor will be responsible for researching and preparing a historical context report, conducting oral interviews, and providing a survey report with recommendations for historic preservation. • The survey will cover approximately 267 acres and 670 residential parcels. • The contractor will be required to provide a minimum of one National Register nomination. • The project will be funded by an Underrepresented Communities Grant Award from the Historic Preservation Fund. • The contractor will be required to work with city staff, including representatives from GIS and Historic Preservation, to ensure that the survey and report are compatible with the City's GIS format. • The contractor will be required to provide a draft report for review and comment by the City Historic Preservation Officer and the National Park Service Grant Manager. • The final report will be presented in Microsoft Word and PDF format.
