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 survey will identify and document all buildings, structures, sites, landscapes, and objects built in or before 1981 within the designated area to determine one or more properties or districts which meet the criteria for nomination to the National Register and local historic district designation. The selected consultant will be responsible for researching and preparing a historical context report, surveying and inventorying all buildings, structures, sites, landscapes, and objects, and providing a minimum of one National Register nomination. The project aims to raise the Denton community's awareness of its history and preserve the architectural, community, and cultural heritage of Southeast Denton. • The survey area includes approximately 267 acres, 670 residential parcels, several commercial buildings, a possible historic main street, and five historic African American church congregations. • The project requires the consultant to have previous substantial experience working with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and Guidelines for Archeology and Historic Preservation. • The consultant shall provide a Survey Report identifying the historic context of the Southeast Denton neighborhood, along with a history of each building or structure that retains sufficient architectural integrity to qualify as a historic landmark. • The project has a deadline of September 1, 2027, for completion.
