The first week of June, Logan Town Center’s historic preservation consultants submitted an application for listing a Logan Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places.
The application is described at <logantowncenter.com/design/NRHistDistrictMain.html>.
More detailed maps are available at <logantowncenter.com/design/NRHistDistrictMaps.html>.
Descriptions of what a National Register Historic District is and what the implications are for us as individuals and as a community can be found at <logantowncenter.com/design/NRHistDistrictFAQs.html>.
I hope you will look at this material and then come back to this blog and post your comments, questions or corrections.
Thank you.
Bob Wasson
Congratulations! The Logan Historic District nomination was moved forward by the Ohio Historic Preservation Advisory Council yesterday. Next and final approval will come from the National Park Service. The team of Logan volunteers were thanked publicly yesterday by our professional guides, Judy Williams and Nathalie Wright. The Advisory Council presented some interesting comments and challenging questions. Athens architect David Reiser spoke in support of the motion for the nomination to move forward. He recognized Logan’s “persistent commitment to preserve its urban fabric”. Thanks to Bob Wasson for keeping this project organized and on track.
