Boulder Survey of Historic Places:  Potential Landmarks and Districts

Since 1977, Landmarks Board (LB) has sponsored historical surveys of the city to determine the location of individually significant resources and eligible historic districts. The surveys help identify structures that may be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places and areas of the city that are eligible for local historic district designation and National Register Historic District listing.

Historical surveys conducted by the City of Boulder’s Open Space Department and Parks and Recreation Department have begun to identify historic resources, archaeological sites, and significant features of the landscape such as ditches on city-owned properties in the city and in the county.

Future Programs

Efforts will continue to integrate historic preservation goals with goals of the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan. Among the highest priority efforts, LB has identified the following focuses for the coming years.

• Work with property owners, residents, and historic preservation organizations to pursue landmark designation of eligible sites and districts.
  
• Continue the Boulder Survey of Historic Places. Update existing surveys to include the contributing-restorable category for those buildings that have lost historic significance, but are capable of being restored to the point that they would contribute to the character of the district.
  
• Continue and expand historic preservation education and outreach with the public through continued cooperation and coordination with other preservation groups and training in appropriate design of alterations and additions to historic resources.
  
• Develop a framework for designation and protection of archaeological resources and landscape features such as ditches.
