ABSTRACT
The purpose of the City of Kenosha' s historical and architectural reconnaissance survey of the
DowntownlHarborside Business Improvement District was to provide historic preservation
information about the buildings in this area of the city to the Kenosha Historic Preservation
Commission, the Department of City Development, and the DowntownlHarborside Business
Improvement District. Specifically, the purpose of the survey was to identifY buildings in the
DowntownlHarborside Business Improvement District that were potentially eligible for local
landmark status; potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places; potentially
eligible for local landmark or National Register of Historic Places historic district status; and
potentially eligible for a facade improvement program.
The results of this survey project included historical and architectural information for each
building in the survey and whether the building was included within the boundaries of a potential
National Register of Historic Places or local landmark historic district. The survey identified two
potential historic districts and indicated which buildings were potentially individually eligible for
local landmark or National Register status. The consultant also identified which buildings have a
high, medium, or low priority for a facade improvement program, and the buildings that are not
eligible for rehabilitation funds due to their modem date of construction 01' type of use.

SURVEY METHODOLOGY
Background
In April of 1997, Carol L. Cartwright, Historic Preservation Consultant, agreed to perform an
architectural and historical reconnaissance survey of the resources included in the
DowntownlHarborside Business Improvement District in the City of Kenosha, Kenosha County,
Wisconsin. Cartwright was the principal and only investigator of the project. The elements of the
survey project are described in detail below.
Survey Personnel Qualifications
This survey was conducted by Carol L. Cartwright, an historic preservation consultant.
Cartwright has a master's degree in history and extensive experience in historic preservation
work, including completing and/or participating in the completion of architectural/historical
surveys. She has also prepared numerous determinations of eligibility and/or nominations to the
National Register of Historic Places.
Reconnaissance Survey
In June of 1997, the principal investigator surveyed the buildings located in Kenosha's
DowntownlHarborside Business Improvement District. She photographed all ofthe buildings
located within the district boundaries. She prepared reconnaissance survey cards for all of these
properties and referenced them on a BID parcel map, using a map code that corresponds with the
film roll and negative number.
Research
After the reconnaissance survey was completed, the principal investigator began the research
phase of the survey project. She used research materials found at the library and archives of the
State Historical Society of Wisconsin and the Kenosha Public Library to conduct site-specific
research for the resources included in the reconnaissance survey. Specifically, the principal
investigator used historic and modem Sanborn-Perris Fire Insurance Maps for the City of
Kenosha located in the archives of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin and historic city
directories and published local histories located in the Kenosha Public Library. She used these
resources to complete the historic sections on the reconnaissance survey cards, in evaluating the
resources, and in writing this report.
Identification and Evaluation of Significant Properties
National Register Evaluation
The principal investigator analyzed both architectural and historical data to determine which, if
5
any, surveyed properties have historical or architectural significance. Opinions of National
Register of Historic Places eligibility of historic properties identified in the survey are indicated in
the results section of this report. The opinions of significance are based on the National Register
of Historic Places criteria used to guide state and federal agencies in evaluating nominations to the
National Register. The criteria for the National Register of Historic Places is described in
National Register Bulletin 16A that was published in 1991 by the U. S. Depru1ment of the
Interior, National Park Service, and reads as follows.
"Criteria: The quality of significance in American history, ru'chitecture, archeology, engineering,
and culture is present in districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that possess integrity of
location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association, and:
"A.
That are associated with events that have made a significant
contribution to the broad patterns of our history; or
"B .
That are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; or
"c.
That embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method
of construction or that represent the work of a master, or that possess
high mistic valnes, or that represent a significant and distinguishable
entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or
"D.
That have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important
in prehistory or history.
"Criteria Considerations: Ordinarily cemeteries, birthplaces, or graves of historical figures,
properties owned by religious institutions or used for religious purposes, structures that have been
moved Ii-om their original locations, reconstructed historic buildings, properties primarily
commemorative in nature, and properties that have achieved significance within the past 50 years
shall not be considered eligible for the National Register. However, such properties will qualify if
they are integral pms of districts thilt do meet the criteria or if they faU within the following
categories:
"A.
A religious property deriving primary significance from architectural
or mistic distinction or historical importance; or
"B.
A building or structure removed from its original location but which
is significant primarily for architectural value, or which is the surviving
structure most importantly associated with a historic person or event; or
"C.
A birthplace or grave of a historical figure of outstanding importance
if there is no other appropriate site or building directly associated with
his or her productive life; or
6
"D.
A cemetery which derives it primary significance from graves of persons
of transcendent importance, from age, from distinctive design features,
or from association with historical events; or
"E.
A reconstructed building when accurately executed in a suitable
environment and presented in a dignified manner as part of a
restoration master plan, and when no other building or structure with
the same association has survived; or
"F.
A property primarily commemorative in intent if design, age, tradition,
or symbolic value has invested it with its own historical significance; or
"G.
A property achieving significance within 50 years if it is of exceptional
importance. "
(National Register Bulletin 16A, U. S. Department of the Interior, 1986, p. 37)
It should be noted that eligibility or listing in the National Register of Historic Places is
detennined by the National Register Office. Nominations to the National Register are reviewed
by the State Historic Preservation Office, then brought to the State Historic Preservation Review
Board for approval. If approved, the nominations are then sent to the National Register office of
the National Park Service, U. S. Department of the Interior, for fmal approval and listing in the
National Register.
Local Landmark Evaluation
The principal investigator also evaluated properties to determine if any were potentially eligible
for local landmark listing. Opinions oflocallandmark eligibility of historic properties identified in
the survey are indicated in the results section of this report. The opinions of eligibility are based
on Section 15.04 of the City of Kenosha's Zoning Ordinance entitled "Standards for Designating
Structures and Sites as Historic." These standards are used to guide the Kenosha Historic
Preservation Commission in evaluating local landmark designations. These standards are
described in Section 15.04 of the City of Kenosha's Zoning Ordinance tbat was approved in 1994,
and reads as follows:
"A. Standards for Designation. A bistoric structure or historic site designation may be
placed on any improvement parcel witbin tbe City which:
1. Exemplifies or reflects tbe City's cultural, social, economic, political, engineering
and/or architectural hiStolY; or
2. Is identified witb historic personages or witb important events in the City'S bistory; or
7
3. Embodies the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type or specimen,
inherently valuable for a study of a period, style, method of construction, or of indigenous
materials or craftsmanship; or
4. Is representative of the notable work ofa master builder, designer or architect whose
individual genius influenced their age; or
5. Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important to the history or
prehistory of man.
6. Historic structures and sites which are on the National or State Register of Historic
Places shall be designated as a City historic structure or site.
B. Exemptions. The property ofbona fide churches which is used for religious purposes
is exempt from any provision of this section which may have a coercive effect upon the practice of
religion. Relief from such coercive provision may be obtained by application for a variance to the
Zoning Board of Appeals."
Restoration or Rehabilitation Evaluation
The principal investigator also evaluated properties to determine if any were potentially eligible
for historic facade restoration or rehabilitation. This evaluation was based on the historic
appearance of the building'S fucade, its exterior condition, whether an altered facade could be
easily and cost-effectively returned to its historic appearance, and whether the
restoration/rehabilitation of a building would make a significant contribution to the improvement
the Business Improvement District. Buildings constructed within the last 50 years were included
in the survey, but were generally not evaluated fur their potential as candidates for historic facade
restoration or rehabilitation. The facade restoration/rehabilitation evaluation did not take into
consideration the interior condition or appearance of the buildings or any owner-occupant status.
Its purpose was to indicate to the Historic Preservation Commission and the Department of City
Development what buildings may be good candidates for historic fucade restoration or
rehabilitation based on their exterior appearance and history.

RESULTS
This survey produced two products; a set of survey cards for all of the buildings in the Business
Improvement District and this report. The survey cards include architectural and historical
information for each building and an attached photograph. A sample survey card is included in
the attachments to this report along with a key to the information on the card. Each photograph
was given a code based on the film roll and frame number. This code is indicated on each survey
card and cross-references the property photographed with the survey map that is also included in
the attachments to this report. The consultant used these survey cards to prepare the results
section of this report.
The results are presented in a series of lists. The first list contains comprehensive information
about all of the buildings surveyed, while subsequent lists contain information on specific topics,
such as eligibility for local landmark or National Register status and priority for a facade
improvement program. Also presented are brief descriptions of the two potential historic
districts proposed by the consultant. District maps are included in the attachments to this report.

The following lists indicate which buildings in the survey area are eligible for or already listed in
the National Register of Historic Places or Kenosha's Landmark list and whether the buildings in
the survey area have a high, medium, or low priority for a facade improvement program or are not
eligible for such a program. The criteria used to determine potential eligibility for the National
Register or locallaildmark listing is described in the Survey Methodology section of this report.
The criteria used for determining high, medium, low, or no eligibility for a facade improvement
program is as follows.
High Priority for Improvement Program
1. The building has most of its historic features and may need restoration/rehabilitation work to
improve its facade or to adaptively reuse it.
2. The building or storefront of the building is remodeled, the remodeling is inappropriate for a
historic building, and a restoration/rehabilitation of the building would be cost-effective to
improve its facade.
3. The building or storefront of the building has extensive remodeling, the remodeling is
inappropriate for a historic building, and a restoration/rehabilitation of the building would
dramatically improve the streetscape.
Medium Priority for Improvement Program
I. The building has most of its historic features and is in need of minor restoration/rehabilitation
work to improve its facade or to adaptively reuse it.
2. The building or storefront of the building is remodeled, the remodeling is generally restricted
to an inappropriate storefront, and a restoration/rehabilitation of the building would be costeffective to improve its facade.
Low Priority for Improvement Program
I. The building has most of its historic features and is in good condition.
2. The building has been historically renovated or appropriately remodeled.
3. The building has been extensively remodeled and/or modernized but is in good condition and a
restoration/rehabilitation of the building would not be cost-effective to improve its facade.
Buildings Not Eligiblefor Improvement Program
I. The building is a modem building and its renovation would not make a significant contribution
to the improvement of the Business Improvement District.
65
2. The building is not a commercial property.
3. The building has been so modernized and altered that its appearance is that of a modem
building.

Potential Historic Districts
The consultant identiiied two potential historic districts in the Business Improvement District
survey area. These districts may be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places and/or
Kenosha's local landmark list. The addresses ofthe buildings included in these potential districts
and their contributing or non-contributing status are given below and maps of the districts are
included in the attachments. A review by personnel from the Division of Historic Preservation of
the State Historical Society of Wisconsin should be undertaken hefore nominations to the
National Register are undertaken. Likewise, a review by the Kenosha Historic Preservation
Conunission should be undertaken before local landmark nominations are prepared. Also, it is
suggested that business and property owners of buildings in the potential districts be informed of
any desire to list these districts for their impute and direction.
