PROFESSION:

Historian

Specialty in historic preservation, intellectual and cultural

history, political history, economic history, and

interdisciplinary studies.

HISTORIC PRESERVATION EXPERIENCE

Winner of Renchard Prize for Historic Preservation, awarded by

the Historical Society of Washington, D.C., 1993. Personal

profile in the Washington Post upon the occasion of the award,

Washington Post, March 7, 1993, F-1, F-6.

President, Art Deco Society of Washington, 1982-1992

Founder of a 400-member preservation and cultural society.

Activities included monthly meetings featuring lectures, films,

and performing-arts demonstrations related to the culture of the

1920s and 1930s, a newsletter praised by The Washington Post,

and preservation casework of national significance. Preservation

cases included a successful county-level effort to save a

National Register property, Greenbelt Center School, the

architectural centerpiece of the New Deal model town; a

successful landmark application to preserve the 1940 streamlined

Greyhound Bus Terminal of Washington —— a case featured in

Newsweek, on the front page of Preservation News, and as the

subject of a PBS television documentary —— and a proposed

historic district in Silver Spring, Maryland. This case

generated a $30,000 feasibility study, co-funded by the Maryland

Historical Trust and the Maryland-National Capital Park and

Planning Commission to study public-sector economic incentives

to permit the blending of preservation with high-density

development in a central business district, and also a

successful National Register nomination for the 1938 Silver

Theatre and Silver Spring Shopping Center Complex.

(Determination of eligibility 6-30-88). In 1998, Montgomery

County, Maryland joined in a public-private partnership with a

private-sector developer, Foulger-Pratt, to preserve the

theatre-shopping center complex as part of a larger $321 million

town-center retail project. The Silver Theatre was restored and

leased to the American Film Institute. The entire project was

completed in 2004.

NATIONAL REGISTER

BULLETIN Technical information on the the National Register of Historic Places: survey, evaluation, registration, and preservation of cultural resources

U.S. Department of the Interior National Park Service Cultural Resources National Register, History and Education

DEFINING BOUNDARIES FOR

NATIONAL REGISTER PROPERTIES

• Use: Consider the historic use ofthe property when selecting theboundary. The eligible resourcemay include open spaces, naturalland forms, designed landscapes,or natural resources that wereintegral to the property's historicuse. Modern use may be different,and some modern uses alter thesetting or affect built resources.The effect of such uses must beassessed in identifying resourcesthat retain integrity. For example,a Hopewell mound archeologicalsite now used as a golf course mayretain integrity where the form ofthe prehistoric earthworks has beenpreserved, but construction of sandtraps or other landscaping thataltered landforms would compromise integrity. A marsh thatprovides plant materials fortraditional basketmakers mayretain integrity where it remains inits natural wetland condition, butmay have lost integrity where ithas been drained and cultivated.

• Research Potential: For propertieseligible under Criterion D, defineboundaries that include all of theresources with integrity that havethe potential to yield importantinformation about the past. Suchinformation is defined in terms ofresearch questions to which theinformation pertains, and theproperty should include the components, features, buildings, orstructures that include the information. For example, an eligibleprehistoric longhouse site shouldinclude longhouse features as wellas associated pit features, middens,and hearths. Geographicallyseparate but historically associatedactivity areas may also be includedin the property even when they arenot adjacent to the main concentration of eligible resources. Forexample, lithic procurement andprocessing loci that were historically associated with a village sitebut geographically separated fromit may be included in a discontiguous district. Remember thatmany properties eligible underother criteria include contributingarcheological resources that mayyield important information aboutthe property. Consider the extentof associated archeological resources when selecting boundaries.

SELECTING

BOUNDARIES

Identify appropriate natural or cultural features that bound the eligible resource. Consider historical and cartographic documentation and subsurface testing results (for archeological resources) in addition to existing conditions. Some boundaries can be directly observed by examining the property; others must be identified on the basis of research. Take into account the modern legal boundaries, historic boundaries (identified in tax maps, deeds, or plats), natural features, cultural features, and the distribution of resources as determined by survey and testing for subsurface resources.

Owner objections may affect the listing of the entire property, but not the identification of the boundaries. If the sole private owner of a property or the majority of the private owners (for properties with multiple owners) objects to listing, the property (with boundaries based on an objective assessment of the full extent of the significant resources) may be determined eligible for the National Register but not listed.

Boundaries should include surrounding land that contributes to the significance of the resources by functioning as the setting. This setting is an integral part of the eligible property and should be identified when boundaries are selected. For example, do not limit the property to the footprint of the building, but include its yard or grounds; consider the extent of all positive subsurface test units as well as the landform that includes the archeological site; and include the portion of the reef on which the vessel foundered as well as the shipwreck itself.

• Distribution of Resources: Use theextent of above-ground resourcesand surrounding setting to definethe boundaries of the property. Forarcheological resources, considerthe extent of above-ground resources as well as the distributionof subsurface remains identifiedthrough testing when defining theboundaries of the property.

• Current Legal Boundaries: Use thelegal boundaries of a property asrecorded in the current tax map orplat accompanying the deed when

these boundaries encompass the eligible resource and are consistent with its historical significance and remaining integrity.

• Historic Boundaries: Use theboundaries shown on historic platsor land-ownership maps (such asfire insurance or real estate maps)when the limits of the eligibleresource do not correspond withcurrent legal parcels.

• Natural Features: Use a naturalfeature, such as a shoreline, terraceedge, treeline, or erosional scar,which corresponds with the limit ofthe eligible resource.

• Cultural Features: Use a culturalfeature, such a stone wall,hedgerow, roadway, or curb line,that is associated with the significance of the property, or use anarea of modern development ordisturbance that represents thelimit of the eligible resource.

Selecting boundaries for someproperties may be more complicated, however. Consider and use as many features or sources as necessary to define the limits of the eligible resource. In many cases, a combination of features may be most appropriate. For example, the National Register boundaries of a property could be defined by a road on the south, a fence line on the west, the limits of subsurface resources on the north, and an area of development disturbance on the east. Consider map features or reasonable limits when obvious boundaries are not appropriate.

• Cartographic Features: Use largescale topographic features, contourlines, or section lines on UnitedStates Geographical Survey mapsto define the boundaries of largesites or districts.

• Reasonable Limits: Use reasonablelimits in areas undefined by naturalor cultural features. For example,define the boundary of a propertyas 15 feet or 5 meters from the edgeof the known resources, or define astraight line connecting two otherboundary features. If a surveyedtopographic map is available, selecta contour line that encompassesthe eligible resources. Reasonablelimits may also be appropriate fora rural property when there is noobvious house lot or natural orcultural feature to use. Be sure thatan appropriate setting is included
