Historic District Task Force Report
Slide Show Presentation and Q&A
In an attempt to avoid the fate of other older urban neighborhoods that have succumbed to infill redevelopment, the JWN formed a task force to explore the possibility of creating a historic district. Preserving older homes is not only important to our culture and heritage, but is environmentally sound, as an older home’s carbon debt has long since been paid. Upgrading an existing structure for energy efficiency is far less carbon intensive, and more effective, as demolishing a home and building a new house.Preservation is not about preventing density – we are already the second densest neighborhood with a huge inventory of middle housing – much of it historic like the Lincoln School Condos. Preservation is about protecting the neighborhood’s historic character and context and putting that front and center for any new development.Find Information on your own Historic Home!
In 1996 the city of Eugene Conducted a Cultural Resource Survey for Historical Homes including date built and other architectural data.
