Listing Criteria (§14.01.070)
Architectural criteria
(1)Style, Design: Commercial Vernacular Style; features of original façade recreated
in 2009; “alterations over the years have diminished the buildings’ ability to convey
the purer form of their architectural qualities from the time of construction…”, not
significant under the Architectural Criteria (Pavlik Evaluation pp. 15 -16).
(2)Architect:No architect identified through background research; C.J. Johnson as
“builder” (Pavlik Evaluation pg. 16).
Historic Criteria
(1)Person: C.J. Johnson as “builder”; no other known association with prominent
historical persons (Pavlik Evaluation, pg. 17)
(2)Event, Context:no evidence of association with notable events; original buildings
associated with early 20th Century commercial development in the City, but property
does not constitute a prime illustration of, or intimate connection with, such
development, at a level of historical significance (Pavlik Evaluation pp. 17 -18)
Integrity:
Façade modified extensively until 2009 remodeling (“thinbrick veneer,” different
configuration; repointing of brick; new openings at rear elevations; “the various changes
made to the buildings over the years, with a resultant loss of original material, have
rendered them ineligible for continued listing” (Pavlik Evaluation pp. 18 -19)
