To: Heritage Preservation Board Item Type: Report and Recommendation From: Joyce Repya, Senior Planner Item Activity: Subject: Certificate of Appropriateness: 4621 Browndale Action Ave. - New Detached Garage ACTION REQUESTED: Approve the Certificate of Appropriateness request for a new detached garage at 4621 Browndale Avenue INTRODUCTION: The applicant is requesting to demolish an existing 399 sq.ft. detached garage and replace it with a new 520 sq.ft. structure. This home received a COA for changes to the street facing façade at the July 14, 2015, HPB meeting. However, at that time, the new garage was not included in the project that was under consideration. The proposed garage compliments the Tudor Revival/English Cottage style of the 1926 home; and is consistent with COA's for new detached garages previously approved in the Country Club District. 1 I. 9i=-- rte HERITAGE PRESERVATION BOARD °(tg m CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS �y° STAFF REPORT 1888 Originator Meeting Date Agenda# VI. A. Joyce Repya November 10, 2015 H-15-9 Senior Planner APPLICANT: Refined Remodeling, Inc. for Jason & Josie Tober LOCATION: 4621 Browndale Avenue PROPOSAL: Add a new detached garage to the COA previously approved on July 14, 2015 RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the Additional Certificate of Appropriateness Request Subject to Conditions INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND: The subject property, located on the east side of the 4600 block of Browndale Avenue consists of a Tudor/English Cottage style home constructed in 1926. At the July 14th HPB meeting, a COA request was approved for the following changes to the home: • Reducing the width of the former single stall attached garage on the north side of the home to provide a wider driveway and access to the rear yard; • Window and door replacement; and • Removal of architectural elements that were not part of the original construction. At the time of original COA approval, a new detached garage was not included in the request. However, when the applicant applied for the building permit, it was discovered that a new detached garage had been added to the scope of the project. PROPOSED DETACHED GARAGE: The subject plans entail replacing the existing 399 square foot, 2-stall garage with a larger, 520 square foot, 2-stall structure. Access to the garage will be obtained on the west elevation from the existing driveway on the north side of the home. COA H-15-9 4621 Browndale Avenue November 10, 2015 The design of the structure is proposed to compliment the Tudor/English Cottage style of the home with stucco siding, and cedar shake shingles to match the house. A dormer is provided on the front/west elevation to mimic the front façade of the home; and a double over-head door with divided light windows and a service door are also proposed for the front elevation. Attention to detail is provided on all other elevations with the exception of the north side which abuts a privacy fence. The plans demonstrate a height of 18' at the highest peak. The height at the mid- point of the gable is shown to be 14', and a height of 10' is provided at the eave line. The ridge line of the roof is 34' in length, and an 8/12 roof pitch is provided. These dimensions are consistent with the surrounding detached garages and new garages previously approved by the HPB through the Certificate of Appropriateness process. STAFF RECOMMENDATION & FINDINGS: Staff finds that the proposed detached garage is consistent with the design review guidelines presented in the district's plan of treatment. The proposed new construction appears to match the character of the historic house and will be compatible with it in size, scale, massing, and material. The new garage should also be visually compatible with the character of the surrounding neighborhood and will not detract from the historic significance and integrity of the district as a whole. Approval of the new detached garage is recommended subject to the plans presented and a year built plaque added to the exterior of the garage. Findings supporting the recommendation include: • The plans provided with subject request clearly illustrate the scale and scope of the proposed projects. • The proposed detached garage will complement the architectural style of the home and not be detrimental to the adjacent historic structures. • The information provided supporting the subject Certificate of Appropriateness meets the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance arid the Country Club District Plan of Treatment. Conditions for approval: • Subject to the plans presented • A year built plaque is installed on the exterior of the garage 2 IN: A _ w ___________ EA (I) DELi A November 1,2015 Joyce Repya City of Edina 4801 West 50th Street Edina,MN 55424 Dear Joyce, My company,Refined Remodeling,Inc.has been hired by the owners of a house at 4621 Browndale Ave in Edina to do a remodel of the existing property.The scope of this project will include building a new detached garage. The garage will be enlarged and designed to complement the facade of the new design for the house. We are proposing the following: • Using the same surface elements as will be used on the remodel of the house—stucco,shingles,soffit fascia and window/door trim. • Add a dormer on the front elevation to match house façade design. • Add new divided light windows to match the window style on the house. • The north wall does not contain a window because that side faces a tree and the neighbors'fence. Thank you for your consideration.

To: Heritage Preservation Board Item Type: Report and Recommendation From: Joyce Repya, Senior Planner Item Activity: Subject: Certificate of Appropriateness: 4621 Browndale Action Ave. - New Detached Garage ACTION REQUESTED: Approve the Certificate of Appropriateness request for a new detached garage at 4621 Browndale Avenue INTRODUCTION: The applicant is requesting to demolish an existing 399 sq.ft. detached garage and replace it with a new 520 sq.ft. structure. This home received a COA for changes to the street facing façade at the July 14, 2015, HPB meeting. However, at that time, the new garage was not included in the project that was under consideration. The proposed garage compliments the Tudor Revival/English Cottage style of the 1926 home; and is consistent with COA's for new detached garages previously approved in the Country Club District. o , 54, HERITAGE PRESERVATION BOARD LV ta V„ CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS H�� in �°, ,,P• STAFF REPORT ase Originator Meeting Date Agenda # VI. A. Joyce Repya November 10, 2015 H-15-9 Senior Planner APPLICANT: Refined Remodeling, Inc. for Jason & Josie Tober LOCATION: 4621 Browndale Avenue PROPOSAL: Add a new detached garage to the COA previously approved on July 14, 2015 RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the Additional Certificate of Appropriateness Request Subject to Conditions INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND: The subject property, located on the east side of the 4600 block of Browndale Avenue consists of a Tudor/English Cottage style home constructed in 1926. At the July 14th HPB meeting, a COA request was approved for the following changes to the home: • Reducing the width of the former single stall attached garage on the north side of the home to provide a wider driveway and access to the rear yard; • Window and door replacement; and • Removal of architectural elements that were not part of the original construction. At the time of original COA approval, a new detached garage was not included in the request. However, when the applicant applied for the building permit, it was discovered that a new detached garage had been added to the scope of the project. PROPOSED DETACHED GARAGE: The subject plans entail replacing the existing 399 square foot, 2-stall garage with a larger, 520 square foot, 2-stall structure. Access to the garage will be obtained on the west elevation from the existing driveway on the north side of the home. t, fi , ell.'•1.� ; �, r-..., .: x ";` s t " • *. 1. i r, A ! , a. w, 11 1 , 4, r „ I , li , ., fr.' 4:7.: 1 . ii%, .''‘,'I .,• s • ' J it 4` sem.`. ,Vv s.. t r ip Y t4 :411 Li- '''. 11_._.

INTRODUCTION: As identified in the 2015 HPB work plan,the Historic Context Study,created in 1999 has been in need of updating to include the information made available through numerous studies and research undertaken over the past 16 years.The proposed document includes an updated outline and revisions to the original study units. http://edina.novusagenda.com/AgendaWeb/CoverSheet.aspx?ItemID=5 89&MeetinglD=296 11/3/2015 1 M MEMORANDUM TO: Heritage Preservation Board FROM: Robert Vogel,Preservation Planning Consultant DATE: November 3,2015 SUBJECT: Edina Historic Context Outline Historic contexts are the cornerstone of the historic preservation planning process. They are the most influential factors in defining the structure of the city's preservation program because they provide the basic framework for determining whether specific properties meet defined criteria of historical, architectural or archaeological significance. In other words,historic contexts define the historic character of Edina and provide the basis for making critical decisions about what kinds of heritage resources are worthy of consideration in community planning. In 1999 the Edina Heritage Preservation Board and its consultant developed a two-tiered set of broad, general historic context"study units"based on the data then available. Since then,the HPB has undertaken several important studies to identify and gather information about heritage resources in different parts of the city. These studies have resulted in refinement,modification, and elaboration of the local historic contexts. The attached"Edina Historic Contexts Outline"represents the first attempt at revising the 1999 historic context study. As you will see,the revised study units are organized in three tiers or levels. Several of the historic contexts delineated in 1999 have been renamed to better reflect the current state of knowledge of Edina history and the inventory of heritage preservation resources.Just about every historic context has been refined,modified,added to,and elaborated on; one study unit has been eliminated altogether and several new historic contexts have been developed. Each historic context represents an aspect of Edina history that is represented by heritage preservation resources. The organizational framework adopted by the Heritage Preservation Board in 1999 allows for developing historic contexts at a variety of geographical scales,reflecting a broad range of historical patterns and trends. Most of the study units overlap to some extent and the Tier Three historic contexts are focused on specific types of heritage resources. It would be fair to say that the main purpose of revising the 1999 historic contexts is to lay the groundwork for updating the city's comprehensive heritage preservation plan. It is important for you to recognize,however,that historic context development is a dynamic process and the resulting document is not intended to be a complete, fully documented thesis on the heritage of Edina. The intent of th9 revised historic context outline is to present a summary of the relevant information. I have also propose4 a number of study units currently"under construction"—if approved by the Board,these will form the basis of our work plans for the next few years.

"It is convenient to think of historic contexts as the cornerstone of the preservation planning process because the concept itself is integral to understanding history" — Edina Comprehensive Plan Update (2008). "Decisions about the identification, evaluation, registration and treatment of historic properties are most reliably made when the relationship of individual properties to other similar properties is understood. Information about historic properties representing aspects of history, architecture, archaeology, engineering and culture must be collected and organized to define these relationships. This organizational framework is called a `historic context.' The historic context organizes information based on a cultural theme and its geographical and chronological limits. Contexts describe the significant broad patterns of development in an area that may be represented by historic properties" The Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Archaeology and Historic Preservation, published in the Federal Register on September 29, 1983. "Historic contexts are those patterns or trends in history by which a specific occurrence, property, or site is understood and its meaning (and ultimately its significance) within prehistory or history is made clear" — Antionette J. Lee and Linda F. McClelland, How to Complete the National Register Multiple Property Documentation Form (1991). "A historic context is a broad pattern of historical development in a community or its region, that may be represented by historic resources" — Anne Derry, et al., Guidelines for Local Surveys: A Basis for Preservation Planning (1985). "Historic contexts are found at a variety of geographical levels or scales . . . A local historic context represents an aspect of the history of a town, city, county, cultural area, or region, or any portions thereof" — National Register Branch of the National Park Service, How to Apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation (1990). "Historic contexts should be considered a summary document, not a thesis. They should present relevant information, and avoid extraneous information. The author needs to evaluate what is relevant and understand that mere length does not lend credence to a subject" — Barbara Wyatt, The Components of a Historic Context, National Register White Paper, April 9, 2009. HOW ARE HISTORIC CONTEXTS USED IN HERITAGE PRESERVATION PLANNING? "Standard I: Preservation Planning Establishes Historic Contexts" — Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Preservation Planning in Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Archaeology and Historic Preservation (1983). "The history component of the planning process and its historic contexts are of particular importance to those conducting surveys. This component establishes a framework where information on various historic contexts is organized, analyzed, and made available to the public. It should be emphasized, however, that each historic context is a working, evolving system of information that is continuously expanded with information gained through fieldwork and historic research" — Minnesota SHPO, Guidelines for History/Architecture Projects in Minnesota (2008). "The significance of a historic property can be judged and explained only when it is evaluated within its historic context" — How to Apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation, National Register Bulletin (1990). As part of the comprehensive planning process, survey goals are based on historic contexts. The means of achieving these goals are assigned priorities based on various factors (work already done, available funding, planning constraints, survey opportunities). As survey work is carried out, survey goals and priorities are adjusted and new historic contexts are identified. For a property to qualify for designation as an Edina Heritage Landmark it must meet one of the eligibility criteria by being associated with an important historic context and retaining historic integrity of those features necessary to convey its significance. 1999 EDINA HISTORIC CONTEXT STUDY Tier One study units: • "The Native American Landscape" (10,000 BC to AD 1851) • "The Agricultural Landscape" (1851 to 1959) • "The Suburban Landscape" (1887 to 1974) Tier Two study units: • "Edina Mills: Agriculture and Rural Life" (1857 to 1923) • "The Cahill Settlement: Edina's Irish Heritage" (1850s to 1930s) • "Morningside: Edina's Streetcar Suburb" (1905 to 1935) • "Country Club District: Edina's First Planned Community" (1922 to 1950) • "Southdale: Shopping Mall Culture" (1955 to 1974) • "Country Clubs, Parks and Trails: The Heritage of Recreation, Leisure and Sport" (1910 to 1974) • "Minnehaha Creek: From Wilderness Stream to Urban Waterway" "These historic context study units are intended to be revised, elaborated on, merged or discarded as new information and interpretations become available" —Edina comprehensive Plan Update (2008).

It is intended as a supplement, and if discrepancies are found between this paper and other NPS publications, the existing publications should be considered correct. Comments are welcome and should be directed to the author. After review and discussion, the substance of this paper may be incorporated into future publications. Introduction The evaluation of properties for National Register eligibility involves an assessment of the significance of a property in terms of the history of the relevant geographical area,the history of associated historical themes or subjects, and within an historical and contemporary time frame— in other words, its context. The purpose of this paper is to provide general guidance on writing a context. It is intended to pertain to all nominations and property types,regardless of the applicable criteria. More explicit information on developing historic contexts for special property types is included in the National Register bulletins. For example,the bulletin on historic aviation properties gives instructions on addressing the contexts important to those properties. This paper, therefore, provides general information, with the understanding that the person developing a context will need to add his or her mark of creativity and solid research for a context to be a good tool for evaluating related properties. The applicability of this information to archeological resources may be somewhat limited. For these resources,detailed instructions can be found in the National Register Bulletin Guidelines for Evaluating and Registering Archeological Properties. Historic Contexts and the Multiple Property Documentation Form Historic contexts may have been developed for National Register Multiple Property Documentation Forms (MPDF), for statewide historic preservation plans, or for local planning initiatives. Some contexts may be nearly fully developed in individual National Register nominations or in published or manuscript histories. However, for a context to apply to a particular nomination, it must be included in that nomination or a listed Multiple Property Documentation Form must be referenced. The context in a listed MPDF should not be repeated in related nominations, although salient aspects should be summarized. Because the MPDF is considered the model for context development, this paper may seem like instructions for that form. In fact, individual nominations not related to an MPDF should contain a context that is essentially a microcosm of an MPDF context. Format Historic contexts should be considered a summary document, not a thesis. They should present relevant information, and avoid extraneous information. The author needs to evaluate what is relevant and understand that mere length does not lend credence to a subject. WORKING DRAFT National Register White Paper Historic Context The National Register considers conventions of The Chicago Manual of Style (most recent edition) appropriate for all work that pertains to its programs, including context development. To that end, and to emphasize the accuracy required of a context, some information should be cited using footnotes or text citations. The following Chicago statement regarding the use of notes pertains to National Register contexts: Ethics, copyright laws, and courtesy to readers require authors to identify the sources of direct quotations and of any facts or opinions not generally known or easily checked (2003, 594). Components of a Context Every historic context must include the sections discussed below. Statement of Context. Begin the context with a summary statement that identifies the areas of significance or themes,time periods, and geographic areas that are encompassed by the context. Explain why the context pertains to local, state, or national history. Details will be explored in the sections that follow. Background History. Present a brief overview of the history of the geographic area encompassed by the context, with a focus on its relationship to the nominated property. If the context pertains to a city or county, provide an overview of the development of the area. If the context pertains to the entire state or the nation, provide sufficient background to set the stage for a detailed description of a particular theme or Area of Significance. For example, if an Area of Significance relates to Ethnic Heritage, information on general settlement of the state may be used as background to settlement by a particular ethnic group. Definition of the Context. Establish the thematic,temporal, and geographic parameters of the theme or Area of Significance. Theme. The context may pertain to a particular property type, such as Barns of Linn County, Oregon, or Cast Iron Architecture of Baltimore. The context may be based on the Areas of Significance claimed in a nomination. For example, many downtown historic districts are considered significant for their role in the city's commerce or their architectural qualities. Residential districts may pertain to community planning and development or ethnic heritage. An individual industrial building may pertain to engineering, industry, and invention. Each of these subjects has been identified as an Area of Significance by the National Register. Explain why the theme is significant in the history of the nation, state, or locality. To be significant,the theme should have had some level of influence on American history or culture. The Areas of Significance used for the National Register form reflect many aspects of American history that have exhibited significant developments, although other Areas of Significance can be defined. Geographic Parameters. Geographic parameters can be based on a variety of factors. They may be determined by the extent of a survey effort, such as Route 66 through 2 WORKING DRAFT National Register White Paper Historic Context Illinois, or by municipal boundaries, such as Covered Bridges of Frederick County, Maryland, and Religious Architecture in Phoenix. Some contexts are more logically discussed at the state level, because they concern properties that are relatively rare or related to an aspect of state history. Examples include Maine Public Libraries and State Parks in Wisconsin. Other contexts are handled at a statewide level because funding and other resources have been allocated for a large-scale study, such as Historic Highway Bridges of California. The selected geographic parameters should not be arbitrary. The boundaries must be justified in the context; in some cases, smaller areas require greater explanations. For example, generally the boundaries of a historic district do not constitute sufficient geographic parameters for the context of the Areas of Significance identified in the district nomination. If bungalows and four-square houses contribute to an architecturally significant district, the context needs to explain the manifestation of these house types in the broader neighborhood and city. In some cases,the introduction of a style or the occurrence of an event is explained from a statewide or national perspective, as a means of explaining how it filtered into the city and neighborhood. Temporal Limits. The temporal limits of a context are generally based on the earliest and latest occurrence of an event, activity, or date of development/construction. For example, one assumes a context called the Civil War in Virginia relates to 1861-1865; however, the context could extend to events leading up to the Civil War and events that happened shortly thereafter. If so,the temporal limits should state the year of the earliest event and latest event that are considered within the parameters of the context. The period of significance for a National Register nomination may differ from the period of significance for a historic context, especially if the nomination is related to a MPDF. For example, a historic district may have a period of significance that ranges from 1848 until 1902 (reflecting dates of construction), but the relevant context may range from 1825 to 1925, reflecting the 100-year period that related architectural styles were being built in the city or state. Development of the Theme or Area of Significance. Address pertinent environmental, economic, cultural,technological, settlement, and governmental factors that may have influenced development of the context. The nature of information presented varies, depending on the geographic scope of the context. This section of the context should be presented as a summary, although if themes are complex, cover a wide geographic range, and extend over a long period of time,the content will be more complex than a theme more limited in all aspects. Suggestions regarding information to include in contexts that are local, state, and national in scope follow. Local Contexts. For local contexts, describe how and why the theme or Area of Significance developed. Describe the contributions of individuals or groups, and present factors outside the local area that influenced the theme. For example,technological advances, the completion of transportation networks,the emerging popularity of an architectural style, or a boom in the national economy may have had a direct impact on the local context. 3 WORKING DRAFT National Register White Paper Historic Context Statewide and National Contexts. For contexts of national or statewide significance, describe how the historical themes generally unfolded in the state or nation. For example, a historic context for Agriculture,but, more specifically, dairying in Wisconsin, could be developed as follows: • Set the stage by mentioning types of agriculture that preceded the introduction of modern dairying and why their popularity faded; • Describe environmental conditions and settlement patterns that fostered the development of dairy farms; • Describe economic factors that influenced dairying; • Describe ethnic groups that contributed to the development of dairying; • Explain technological advances that contributed to the success of dairying; • Describe the influence of government agencies, such as Extension, and the influence of government oversight, such as codes and regulations that pertain to agriculture, commerce, and health; • Describe how transportation networks influenced the development of dairying. Associated Property Types. Identify the types of properties that are related to the context and their locational patterns. Property types should be inclusive, reflecting all manifestations, throughout the period and the area encompassed by the theme. All properties acknowledged by the National Register should be addressed: buildings, structures, sites, districts, and objects. For example,properties associated with dairying in Wisconsin may reflect agriculture, as well as transportation,marketing, and technological developments. Therefore,various types of agricultural buildings and landscapes may be associated with dairying,milk and cheese dairies may be related, and facilities at universities where innovations were developed may be associated. Be as specific as possible in identifying property types. In many areas, "dairy barns" is too general to be useful. Instead,the types of dairy barns that were built over time and in specific regions should be identified as property types. Information about the occurrence and survival of property types should be presented, as well as general impressions about their adaptive uses and condition. Physical Characteristics and Integrity. Outline and justify the specific physical characteristics each property type must possess to be eligible. Describe the associative qualities that must be evident. Discuss the integrity that must be present. Relationship to the National Register Criteria. Address the relevance of each of the National Register criteria to the theme and to each property type. Provide guidance through examples in applying the criteria. Bibliography. The context may distill a great deal of research and field work into a relatively brief document. Because of the summary nature of the documentation, it is essential to include a bibliography of sources consulted in its preparation. The bibliography should not be a"reading list," but sources that are cited in the text or that directly influenced the content of the context. 4 I f The Components of a Historic Context A National Register White Paper Barbara Wyatt, (barbara wyatt(ainps.gov), 4-9-09 This paper is not intended to replace information in the National Register Bulletins and other NPS publications. It is intended as a supplement, and if discrepancies are found between this paper and other NPS publications, the existing publications should be considered correct. Comments are welcome and should be directed to the author. After review and discussion, the substance of this paper may be incorporated into future publications. Introduction The evaluation of properties for National Register eligibility involves an assessment of the significance of a property in terms of the history of the relevant geographical area, the history of associated historical themes or subjects, and within an historical and contemporary time frame— in other words, its context. The purpose of this paper is to provide general guidance on writing a context. It is intended to pertain to all nominations and property types, regardless of the applicable criteria. More explicit information on developing historic contexts for special property types is included in the National Register bulletins. For example,the bulletin on historic aviation properties gives instructions on addressing the contexts important to those properties. This paper, therefore, provides general information, with the understanding that the person developing a context will need to add his or her mark of creativity and solid research for a context to be a good tool for evaluating related properties. The applicability of this information to archeological resources may be somewhat limited. For these resources,detailed instructions can be found in the National Register Bulletin Guidelines for Evaluating and Registering Archeological Properties. Historic Contexts and the Multiple Property Documentation Form Historic contexts may have been developed for National Register Multiple Property Documentation Forms(MPDF), for statewide historic preservation plans, or for local planning initiatives. Some contexts may be nearly fully developed in individual National Register nominations or in published or manuscript histories. However, for a context to apply to a particular nomination, it must be included in that nomination or a listed Multiple Property Documentation Form must be referenced. The context in a listed MPDF should not be repeated in related nominations, although salient aspects should be summarized. Because the MPDF is considered the model for context development, this paper may seem like instructions for that form. In fact, individual nominations not related to an MPDF should contain a context that is essentially a microcosm of an MPDF context. Format Historic contexts should be considered a summary document, not a thesis. They should present relevant information, and avoid extraneous information. The author needs to evaluate what is relevant and understand that mere length does not lend credence to a subject. I WORKING DRAFT National Register White Paper Historic Context The National Register considers conventions of The Chicago Manual of Style (most recent edition) appropriate for all work that pertains to its programs, including context development. To that end, and to emphasize the accuracy required of a context, some information should be cited using footnotes or text citations. The following Chicago statement regarding the use of notes pertains to National Register contexts: Ethics, copyright laws, and courtesy to readers require authors to identify the sources of direct quotations and of any facts or opinions not generally known or easily checked (2003, 594). Components of a Context Every historic context must include the sections discussed below. Statement of Context. Begin the context with a summary statement that identifies the areas of significance or themes,time periods, and geographic areas that are encompassed by the context. Explain why the context pertains to local, state, or national history. Details will be explored in the sections that follow. Background History. Present a brief overview of the history of the geographic area encompassed by the context, with a focus on its relationship to the nominated property. If the context pertains to a city or county,provide an overview of the development of the area. If the context pertains to the entire state or the nation, provide sufficient background to set the stage for a detailed description of a particular theme or Area of Significance. For example, if an Area of Significance relates to Ethnic Heritage, information on general settlement of the state may be used as background to settlement by a particular ethnic group. Definition of the Context. Establish the thematic,temporal, and geographic parameters of the theme or Area of Significance. Theme. The context may pertain to a particular property type, such as Barns of Linn County, Oregon, or Cast Iron Architecture of Baltimore. The context may be based on the Areas of Significance claimed in a nomination. For example, many downtown historic districts are considered significant for their role in the city's commerce or their architectural qualities. Residential districts may pertain to community planning and development or ethnic heritage. An individual industrial building may pertain to engineering, industry, and invention. Each of these subjects has been identified as an Area of Significance by the National Register. Explain why the theme is significant in the history of the nation, state, or locality. To be significant,the theme should have had some level of influence on American history or culture. The Areas of Significance used for the National Register form reflect many aspects of American history that have exhibited significant developments, although other Areas of Significance can be defined. Geographic Parameters. Geographic parameters can be based on a variety of factors. They may be determined by the extent of a survey effort, such as Route 66 through 2 WORKING DRAFT National Register White Paper Historic Context Illinois, or by municipal boundaries, such as Covered Bridges of Frederick County, Maryland, and Religious Architecture in Phoenix. Some contexts are more logically discussed at the state level, because they concern properties that are relatively rare or related to an aspect of state history. Examples include Maine Public Libraries and State Parks in Wisconsin. Other contexts are handled at a statewide level because funding and other resources have been allocated for a large-scale study, such as Historic Highway Bridges of California. The selected geographic parameters should not be arbitrary. The boundaries must be justified in the context; in some cases, smaller areas require greater explanations. For example, generally the boundaries of a historic district do not constitute sufficient geographic parameters for the context of the Areas of Significance identified in the district nomination. If bungalows and four-square houses contribute to an architecturally significant district, the context needs to explain the manifestation of these house types in the broader neighborhood and city. In some cases,the introduction of a style or the occurrence of an event is explained from a statewide or national perspective, as a means of explaining how it filtered into the city and neighborhood. Temporal Limits. The temporal limits of a context are generally based on the earliest and latest occurrence of an event, activity, or date of development/construction. For example, one assumes a context called the Civil War in Virginia relates to 1861-1865; however, the context could extend to events leading up to the Civil War and events that happened shortly thereafter. If so,the temporal limits should state the year of the earliest event and latest event that are considered within the parameters of the context. The period of significance for a National Register nomination may differ from the period of significance for a historic context, especially if the nomination is related to a MPDF. For example, a historic district may have a period of significance that ranges from 1848 until 1902 (reflecting dates of construction), but the relevant context may range from 1825 to 1925, reflecting the 100-year period that related architectural styles were being built in the city or state. Development of the Theme or Area of Significance. Address pertinent environmental, economic, cultural,technological, settlement, and governmental factors that may have influenced development of the context. The nature of information presented varies, depending on the geographic scope of the context. This section of the context should be presented as a summary, although if themes are complex, cover a wide geographic range, and extend over a long period of time, the content will be more complex than a theme more limited in all aspects. Suggestions regarding information to include in contexts that are local, state, and national in scope follow. Local Contexts. For local contexts, describe how and why the theme or Area of Significance developed. Describe the contributions of individuals or groups, and present factors outside the local area that influenced the theme. For example, technological advances,the completion of transportation networks, the emerging popularity of an architectural style, or a boom in the national economy may have had a direct impact on the local context. 3 WORKING DRAFT National Register White Paper Historic Context Statewide and National Contexts. For contexts of national or statewide significance, describe how the historical themes generally unfolded in the state or nation. For example, a historic context for Agriculture, but,more specifically, dairying in Wisconsin, could be developed as follows: • Set the stage by mentioning types of agriculture that preceded the introduction of modem dairying and why their popularity faded; • Describe environmental conditions and settlement patterns that fostered the development of dairy farms; • Describe economic factors that influenced dairying; • Describe ethnic groups that contributed to the development of dairying; • Explain technological advances that contributed to the success of dairying; • Describe the influence of government agencies, such as Extension, and the influence of government oversight, such as codes and regulations that pertain to agriculture, commerce, and health; • Describe how transportation networks influenced the development of dairying. Associated Property Types. Identify the types of properties that are related to the context and their locational patterns. Property types should be inclusive, reflecting all manifestations, throughout the period and the area encompassed by the theme. All properties acknowledged by the National Register should be addressed: buildings, structures, sites, districts, and objects. For example,properties associated with dairying in Wisconsin may reflect agriculture, as well as transportation,marketing, and technological developments. Therefore,various types of agricultural buildings and landscapes may be associated with dairying,milk and cheese dairies may be related, and facilities at universities where innovations were developed may be associated. Be as specific as possible in identifying property types. In many areas, "dairy barns" is too general to be useful. Instead,the types of dairy barns that were built over time and in specific regions should be identified as property types. Information about the occurrence and survival of property types should be presented, as well as general impressions about their adaptive uses and condition. Physical Characteristics and Integrity. Outline and justify the specific physical characteristics each property type must possess to be eligible. Describe the associative qualities that must be evident. Discuss the integrity that must be present. Relationship to the National Register Criteria. Address the relevance of each of the National Register criteria to the theme and to each property type. Provide guidance through examples in applying the criteria. Bibliography. The context may distill a great deal of research and field work into a relatively brief document. Because of the summary nature of the documentation, it is essential to include a bibliography of sources consulted in its preparation. The bibliography should not be a"reading list,"but sources that are cited in the text or that directly influenced the content of the context. 4 ray ;) s3„r October 27, 2015 Ms. Marci Matson 7033 Morgan Avenue Richfield,MN 55423 Dear Marci: The Edina Heritage Board (HPB)would like to convey their gratitude to you for the exemplary service you provided to the community during your tenure as the Executive Director of the Edina Historical Society.
