District Data Sheets

*Status Code: The contributing status of structures has been assigned based on the retention of pre-1930 designs.

C – Buildings which clearly have major identifiable elements of their original (pre-1930) designs.

INT – Those structures built after 1930 have been designated as intrusions.

MC – Structures which appear to pre-date 1930 and which are similar in scale and materials to their neighbors, but which have undergone

major alterations such that their period of origin cannot be readily determined, designated minor contributing structures.
