CONTRIBUTING/NON-CONTRIBUTING TO HISTORIC DISTRICT does NOT mean good and bad 50-year age threshold, 1969-1970 In order to be considered historically-significant ,a property must generally retain the physical features and original materials that define both why a property is significant and when it gained significance. Replacement of storefronts, windows, and even entire facades were common alterations of historic commercial buildings particularly during local boom years when merchants had money and were reinvesting in their buildings to attract new customers. It is the degree to which the past modifications were in keeping with the building’s historic character that determines the level of historic integrity a property retains, or whether the past modifications reflected a major design change that has gained significance in its own right. SYLVAN GROVE Historic Survey
There are a variety of reasons that a building could be identified as a non- contributor to a historic district or not eligible for listing including: built less than fifty years ago; removal or infill of glass storefront on traditional historic commercial building thereby changing the relationship of the building to the street front and passersby; infill or downsizing of upper windows on the front facade altering the proportions of the historic facade; or installation of siding covering street facades (obscuring historic fabric). Another major consideration is the streetscape – freestanding buildings

BENEFITS OF HISTORIC SURVEY First Step in considering designation of Historic District Based on number of “contributing” properties, Recommendation is to establish State Historic District In the recommended boundary for the KS historic district : Spans from Coop & Depot on south to station on N 36 resources 1 properties listed in the National Register, 20 deemed to be contributors to a potential State historic district, and 14 non-contributing buildings. Resulting in a total of 56% contributing buildings, a majority of the district resources. SYLVAN GROVE Historic Survey
