Disputes over timber rights culminated in the destruction of Reed’s dam in 1851, yet the community continued to expand, adding stagecoach service and new businesses. By 1860, Reedsburg was home to 461 residents and served as a commercial center for surrounding farms. A thriving hop-growing industry drove rapid growth until its collapse in 1868, the same year Reedsburg was incorporated as a village. German immigration increased significantly during the 1860s and 1870s, and the arrival of the Chicago & Northwestern Railway in 1872 further accelerated agricultural and industrial development. Despite several major fires and periodic flooding, Reedsburg rebuilt with durable brick commercial buildings, expanded utilities, and achieved city status in 1887. Around 1900, Reedsburg ’s population surpassed 2,200, supported by woolen mills, dairy processing operations, and vegetable -based industries. The early twentieth century saw the continued development of civic institutions, including a Normal School, public library, Chamber of Commerce, hospital, airport, and other community amenities. Following World War II, Reedsburg ’s population grew to more than 4,000. The city expanded its parks system, rebuilt after fires, and celebrated local heritage through the establishment of the Reedsburg Historical Society and the annual Butter Festival. Suburban development and commercial growth continued into the late twentieth century. A 1983 historic survey resulted in multiple National Register of Historic Places designations. After significant flooding in 2008 reshaped portions of the riverfront, Reedsburg has continued to evolve, with a current population of approximately 10,000.

This included much of the historic core of the city, its historic neighborhoods, commercial corridors, and industrial areas and identified a large number of historic districts. Background Experience Architectural & Historical Intensive Survey City of Manitowoc, 2022 Survey Area: 7.8 square miles Resources Documented: 513 resources Identified Eligible for NRHP: 3 historic districts 20 individual properties Manitowoc is a small port city located on the western shore of Lake Michigan, set amid wooded uplands flanking a marsh at the mouth of the Manitowoc River. In 1851, it was incorporated as a village and established as the governmental center of Manitowoc County. Throughout the 1850s, the local economy expanded to include shipbuilding, food processing, sawmilling, and agricultural trade that supported the wider region. By the 1860s, additional industries —particularly metal manufacturing and building materials —took root as immigration from Germany, Ireland, and Poland contributed to the city’s growth. The city’s diversified economic base helped Manitowoc weather the Great Depression more effectively than many other small industrial communities, and its population continued to grow during the 1930s. In World War II, Manitowoc’s shipbuilding tradition and strategic location made it an important center for constructing military vessels and distributing key commodities such as cement, coal, oil, and iron ore. Beginning in the 1940s and continuing to the present, the city has served as the western terminus for commercial—and later passenger— ferry service across Lake Michigan, a role reflected in the presence of the Wisconsin Maritime Museum. Following the war, both population growth and industrial activity slowed as demand for Great Lakes shipbuilding and raw materials declined. The completion of Interstate 43 during the 1960s encouraged new commercial corridors and suburban development to the west. Since 2000, however, Manitowoc ’s historic downtown has experienced renewed investment, with new housing and businesses contributing to a broader revival. Today, the city has a population of approximately 34,626 and continues to serve as the primary urban center of Manitowoc County. Background Experience Background Experience Architectural & Historical Intensive Survey City of Port Washington, 2022 Survey Area: 5.9 square miles Resources Documented: 518 resources Identified Eligible for NRHP: 2 historic districts 2 complexes 22 individual properties Located at the mouth of Sauk Creek along the Lake Michigan shoreline, Port Washington sits between two bluffs approximately three -quarters of a mile apart, giving the small city a distinctive and varied topography. As the county seat of Ozaukee County, Port Washington maintains a well -preserved historic downtown centered around its harbor. Early development clustered near the waterfront and gradually expanded westward along Grand Avenue and northward along Wisconsin Street, following natural low points in the landscape and early transportation routes, including the creek and later the north–south rail lines. Port Washington received its village charter in 1848, the same year Wisconsin became a state. Early settlers were largely Yankees from New York and New England, but 1848 also marked the arrival of the first immigrants from Luxembourg and Germany. Over the following decades, these immigrant groups grew and became the predominant ethnic communities in the area. Waterborne commerce was central to the village ’s early economy, and by 1849 Port Washington had constructed its first lighthouse on the north bluff to support increasing ship traffic—740 vessels arrived the following year. Port Washington was incorporated as a city in 1882. A major turning point came in 1889, when local investors founded the Wisconsin Chair Company and built the first sections of their factory along the inner harbor east of North Franklin Street. The company would become a dominant employer, at one point providing jobs for roughly 30 percent of the county ’s workforce. By the 1920s, Port Washington ’s character began shifting from an industrial hub to a predominantly middle-class residential community. Few new industrial or commercial buildings were added during this period; instead, the city expanded with Revival -style neighborhoods, new public parks, and modern infrastructure. After World War II, construction accelerated, especially in new housing developments to the north and west. Many longstanding manufacturing and fishing enterprises closed or relocated, and growth spread outward in all directions through Ranch -style subdivisions. Increasingly, Port Washington evolved into a “home city ” or bedroom community, with many residents commuting to employment centers in Ozaukee and Milwaukee Counties. Today, Port Washington has an estimated population of 11,911 and continues to blend historic character with steady residential growth. Background Experience Architectural & Historical Intensive Survey Phase 1 - Fort Howard Neighborhood City of Green Bay, 2021 Survey Area: 5.63 square miles Resources Documented: 338 resources Identified Eligible for NRHP: 13 individual properties Green Bay, located where the Fox River meets Lake Michigan, is one of Wisconsin ’s oldest European settlements and long served as a central gathering place for the Menominee, Ho -Chunk, and other First Nations. French explorer Jean Nicolet arrived in 1634, marking the beginning of decades of French trade, missionary work, and fort construction. The British gained control of the region in the mid -1700s, but a community of French and Native residents remained prominent until after the War of 1812, when the United States established Fort Howard and American settlement expanded. In the 1820s and 1830s, Green Bay grew along the east side of the Fox River while Fort Howard developed on the west. Both were supported by logging, agriculture, and the waning fur trade. Two competing settlements—Navarino and Astor —merged in 1838 to form Green Bay, which was incorporated as a city in 1854. Railroads, the lumber industry, and later paper manufacturing powered rapid growth in the late 19th century, culminating in the 1895 consolidation of Green Bay and Fort Howard. By the early 20th century, Green Bay had become Wisconsin’s second -largest city and an important industrial and transportation center. The founding of the Green Bay Packers in 1919 added a defining element to the city ’s identity. Although the Great Depression slowed the local economy, post -war development, suburban expansion, and annexations —including the addition of Preble in 1964—reshaped the community. Urban renewal efforts in the 1960s and 1970s transformed the downtown area, while new highways and business parks encouraged growth on the outskirts. From the late 20th century to today, Green Bay has continued to serve as a major regional hub, supported by manufacturing, paper production, transportation industries, and ongoing immigration. The city ’s population has grown steadily —surpassing 100,000 by 2000—and recent efforts have focused on revitalizing the downtown, expanding parks and public spaces, and strengthening its reputation as the home of one of the NFL’s most iconic franchises. The first phase covered the west side of the Fox River, in what is commonly known as old Fort Howard. Background Experience Architectural & Historical Intensive Survey Phase 4 - West Side Residential Properties City of Wauwatosa, 2021 Survey Area: 6.93 square miles Resources Documented: 463 resources Identified Eligible for NRHP: 5 individual properties After the Town of Wauwatosa separated from the Town of Milwaukee in 1842, development was initially concentrated near the community ’s eastern core. This area incorporated as a village in 1892 and later as a city in 1897. The city expanded steadily, gradually annexing additional land from the surrounding town through the 1920s. Meanwhile, the western portions of the town — today’s west side of Wauwatosa —remained largely rural. Following World War II, suburban residential development and annexation extended westward, driven by the need for housing for returning veterans and the broader trend of urban residents relocating to the suburbs. The most significant annexation occurred in 1952, when the remaining eight and a half square miles of the Town of Wauwatosa were incorporated into the city. This expansion tripled the city ’s size and increased its population to 52,000. Residential growth on the west side accelerated with the completion of nearby Interstate 94 in 1960 and Highway 41 in 1963, as well as the development of Mayfair Mall, one of the region ’s premier shopping destinations. By 1970, the city’s population reached a peak of 58,676, and the west side had become largely developed. Since then, Wauwatosa’s west side has continued to mature, remaining one of Milwaukee ’s most desirable suburban communities. Background Experience Architectural & Historical Intensive Survey Phase 3 - Southeast Side Residential Properties City of Wauwatosa, 2020 Survey Area: 3.82 square miles Resources Documented: 1,049 resources Identified Eligible for NRHP: 3 historic districts 5 individual properties Residential development gradually expanded along the bluffs above the Menomonee River, south and east of Wauwatosa’s downtown, throughout the 1870s. During this period, the rural character of the area attracted members of Milwaukee ’s socio -economic elite, who began establishing large estates. Many farmers sold land on Wauwatosa ’s southeast side for residential development, a trend that continued into the early 20th century. This growth was supported by the expansion of social, educational, and health services on the county grounds to the south, the village’s incorporation and later city status, the development of municipal utilities, and extensions of Milwaukee ’s streetcar system into Wauwatosa. The most developed sections of Wauwatosa were incorporated as a village in 1892 and became Wisconsin’s first fourth -class city in 1897. To further encourage residential growth, city water, sewer, gas, electricity, and telephone services were introduced in 1899. Wauwatosa quickly developed a reputation as a residential commuter suburb and is often recognized as Milwaukee’s first suburb. In 1921, the city became the second in the state to adopt a zoning ordinance, which separated residential and commercial areas and preserved the southeast side as primarily residential. Residential development on the southeast side accelerated in the early 20th century and was largely complete by the 1950s. Today, Wauwatosa ’s southeast side remains one of Milwaukee ’s most desirable upper - middle-class neighborhoods. Background Experience Architectural & Historical Intensive Survey Fox River Valley Industrial Properties Cities of Appleton, Fond du Lac, Green Bay, Kaukauna, Menasha, Neenah & Oshkosh, 2019 Survey Area: 155 square miles Resources Documented: 176 resources Identified Eligible for NRHP: 2 historic districts 6 complexes 20 individual properties The Fox River Valley has a rich history, originally home to large First Nations communities, including the Menominee, Ho -Chunk, and Fox peoples. For these communities, the river served as a major transportation route and a vital source for fishing and hunting, shaping the region’s character through the mid-1800s. Widespread Anglo-American settlement began after the federal government initiated land sales in Wisconsin in 1835. The paper industry became a key driver of the region’s social, economic, and cultural development. By the 1860s, the Fox River Valley played a central role in establishing Wisconsin as a leader in paper production in the Midwest. During the 1870s, local communities grew into thriving commercial and industrial centers. The region ’s steady growth was supported by fertile soils, abundant raw materials, and its strategic location along a major waterway, which facilitated the transportation of natural resources, agricultural products, and manufactured goods throughout the state, across the nation, and around the world. By the mid-20th century, the Fox River Valley featured numerous industrial communities that were critical to Wisconsin’s economy. Key industries included brewing and bottling; carriages, wagons, and motorized vehicles; distribution, shipping, and packing; food production; masonry, stone, and cement; metal products; lumber and wood products; paper manufacturing; and textiles and clothing. The region ’s architectural heritage reflects this industrial diversity, with examples ranging from industrial lofts and production sheds to high-style office and administrative buildings. Notably, some buildings were designed by prominent regional architects, including one of the few in the state by the internationally renowned firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, created for the influential regional company Kimberly-Clark. Background Experience Architectural & Historical Intensive Survey Towns of Brighton, Paris, Randall, Somers & Wheatland Kenosha County, 2019 Survey Area: 112 square miles Resources Documented: 418 resources Identified Eligible for NRHP: 1 historic district 5 complexes 3 farmsteads 16 individual properties Rural Kenosha County is made up of the unincorporated towns of Brighton, Paris, Randall, Somers, and Wheatland. The landscape features gently rolling hills and several small lakes, contributing to the region ’s scenic character. As of 2010, the combined population of these towns was approximately 9,432. The area was originally inhabited by the Potawatomi from the 18th century until they ceded their lands to the federal government in 1833. White settlement began along Pike Creek in 1835, eventually forming the City of Kenosha, which has remained the economic and cultural hub of the county. Early settlers cleared the land for subsistence farming and speculative development, establishing small communities such as Basset, Brighton, Paris, New Munster, and Slades Corners, most of which remained unincorporated. By the early 20th century, Kenosha County experienced growth through successful dairy farming and the development of recreational destinations around its inland lakes. Suburban and vacation development continued in the following decades, leading to the incorporation of several villages, including Silver Lake in 1926, Twin Lakes in 1937, and Paddock Lake in 1960. Mid -20th-century infrastructure improvements, including the construction of I -94 and expanded state highways, encouraged suburban residential development while reducing the number of farms. During this period, a significant portion of Brighton served as a regional air defense base, which was later converted into a state recreational area in the 1970s. As Kenosha County increasingly became part of the greater Milwaukee and Chicago metropolitan areas, rural communities continued to urbanize and incorporate. Notable incorporations include Pleasant Prairie in 1989, Bristol in 2009, Somers in 2015, and Salem Lakes in 2017. Today, the county retains a diverse mix of suburban and rural residential areas, natural landscapes, recreational spaces, and agricultural lands in its unincorporated towns. Background Experience Architectural & Historical Intensive Survey Properties Associated with Six Under-Represented Communities - African American, First Nation, Hispanic, Latino, LGBTQ, and Women City of Madison, 2020 Survey Area: 78.9 square miles Resources Documented: 116 resources Identified Eligible for Landmark: 98 resources Identified Eligible for NRHP: 9 individual properties Very few projects of this nature have been undertaken nationwide, and Madison’s initiative is believed to be the first of its kind in Wisconsin. This project was conducted alongside Madison’s first citywide historic preservation plan, which also emphasized the importance of recognizing traditionally underrepresented groups. The purpose of the survey was to provide a comprehensive overview of the six communities within the City of Madison and to develop a written Historic Context for each community. These contexts serve as tools for evaluating the historical significance of local resources. In addition, the survey will inform future planning decisions and help increase public awareness of the city’s rich and diverse history. This report is intended to be a living document and the foundation of an ongoing historic preservation effort that will continue for years to come. The City aims to update and expand the Underrepresented Communities Survey in the future, incorporating additional research and clarifications. This report will serve as a guide for future surveys in Madison, ensuring that resources associated with the histories of African American, First Nation, Hispanic, Latino, LGBTQ+, and women’s communities are identified, shared, and preserved. It is also hoped that this work will support the documentation and recognition of additional underrepresented groups over time.

As of 2010, the city had a population of 8,375. New Richmond was first permanently settled in 1855, with several early developments established in the late 1850s. These communities incorporated collectively as the Village of New Richmond in 1872 and later became a city in 1884. The arrival of the first railroad in 1872 positioned New Richmond as a regional commercial and industrial hub. The Willow River played a key role in the local logging industry, and the Willow River Lumber Company, established in 1881, became the city ’s largest employer. Even after nearby logging resources were depleted in the 1890s, the sawmill continued operations. During this period, creameries, canning, and food processing facilities were established to support the area ’s agricultural economy, and a thriving commercial district developed to serve the community. On June 12, 1899, a devastating cyclone struck New Richmond, destroying 200 homes and 50 businesses and resulting in 117 fatalities. National aid supported the city’s rapid rebuilding, which was largely completed within a year. In 1913, the Willow River Lumber Company was destroyed by fire, marking the beginning of an extended period of economic stagnation. The city began to recover by the mid -20th century, experiencing renewed growth driven by the food processing industry. Between the 1940s and 1960s, annexation and suburban residential development expanded the city’s boundaries. During this time, new commercial, civic, educational, religious, and recreational facilities were established to meet the needs of the growing community. Although many local industries closed in the late 20th century, New Richmond has continued to grow. By 2010, the city’s population had reached 8,375, reflecting its increasing role as part of the Minneapolis –St. Paul metropolitan area. Background Experience Architectural & Historical Intensive Survey Phase 2 - Northeast Side Residential Properties City of Wauwatosa, 2018 Survey Area: 2.5 square miles Resources Documented: 2,651 resources Identified Eligible for NRHP: 10 historic districts 17 individual properties The City of Wauwatosa, located along the Milwaukee and Menomonee Rivers in western Milwaukee County, had a population of 46,396 as of 2010. Wauwatosa was first permanently settled in 1835. Its downtown area, along with a portion of the northeast side immediately to the north, emerged as the primary commercial and social hub for the surrounding agricultural community. The settlement expanded gradually along the bluffs above the Menomonee River through the 1870s. During this period, the area attracted members of Milwaukee ’s socio -economic elite, who began establishing large estates. Many farmers sold land on Wauwatosa ’s northeast side for residential development, most notably through the Warren family subdivisions in 1884, 1893, and 1918, as well as the transformation of the Pabst Farm into Washington Highlands in 1916. These developments were further supported by the 1891 extension of Milwaukee ’s streetcar line to Wauwatosa. The developed areas of Wauwatosa incorporated as a village in 1892 and later became Wisconsin’s first fourth -class city in 1897. To support continued residential growth, city services —including water, sewer, gas, electricity, and telephone —were introduced in 1899. Wauwatosa soon became known as a residential commuter suburb and is often recognized as Milwaukee’s first suburb. In 1921, the city adopted one of the state’s earliest zoning ordinances, which separated residential and commercial areas and designated the northeast side primarily for residential use. Residential development on the northeast side progressed rapidly in the early 20th century and was largely completed by the 1950s. Today, Wauwatosa ’s northeast side remains one of Milwaukee ’s most desirable upper-middle-class communities. Background Experience Architectural & Historical Intensive Survey Phase 1 - Non-Residential Properties City of Wauwatosa, 2017 Survey Area: 13.3 square miles Resources Documented: 456 resources Identified Eligible for NRHP: 6 historic districts 8 complexes 25 individual properties The City of Wauwatosa, located along the Menomonee River in western Milwaukee County, had a population of 46,396 in 2010. Established in 1835, Wauwatosa was the second settlement in Milwaukee County, following the City of Milwaukee. The Town of Wauwatosa separated from the Town of Milwaukee in 1842. Its central area was incorporated as a village in 1892 and later became Wisconsin’s first fourth -class city in 1897. The final portions of the original town were annexed by the City of Wauwatosa in 1952. Strategically located along a key transportation corridor west of Milwaukee, Wauwatosa ’s development was shaped by a series of historic routes, including a military road in 1836, the Milwaukee -Watertown Plank Road in 1848, the Milwaukee & Mississippi Railroad in 1850, a streetcar extension in 1891, and Interstate 94 in the mid - 20th century. This accessibility contributed to Wauwatosa becoming a center for social service, education, and healthcare, beginning with the establishment of the Milwaukee County Poor Farm in 1852. The city experienced significant residential growth from the late 19th century through the 1920s. As the population expanded, Wauwatosa developed a range of commercial, civic, educational, religious, and recreational amenities to serve its residents. In 1921, the city became the second in Wisconsin to adopt a zoning ordinance, distinguishing residential areas from commercial and industrial uses and preserving much of the city’s residential character. Mid-20th-century growth was driven by automobile -oriented residential and commercial development, and by 1970, the population peaked at 58,676, with the city largely built out. Today, Wauwatosa retains its predominantly residential character while offering expansive parks and recreational spaces, a major regional medical center, and one of the area’s premier shopping destinations. Background Experience Architectural & Historical Intensive Survey Arlington & Putnam Heights, Dells Park & Riverview, and Upper Westside Neighborhoods City of Eau Claire, 2016 Survey Area: 4.1 square miles Resources Documented: 318 resources Identified Eligible for NRHP: 1 historic district 2 complexes 3 individual properties The City of Eau Claire, the county seat of Eau Claire County, encompasses 35 square miles at the confluence of the Chippewa and Eau Claire Rivers. In 2010, the city had a population of 65,883. Permanent settlement began in 1854, and two villages were soon incorporated. These villages merged in 1872 to form the City of Eau Claire, which quickly grew as a center of the lumber industry, the city ’s primary economic driver at the time. Significant growth occurred along the west bank of the river in the 1870s and 1880s, where several lumber companies were located. The Upper Westside expanded from the 1890s through the 1910s, following this development. During this period, a high -speed railroad bypass was constructed around the city, establishing the northern boundary of the neighborhood. Residential development continued from the 1930s through the 1960s, while commercial activity expanded along the railroad and major routes leading out of the city. In 1944, the Federal Housing Administration financed the construction of ten homes along Hoover Avenue on the southeast side of the city to provide housing for returning World War II veterans. The Chippewa River remained the city ’s southern edge until the mid -20th century, when numerous subdivisions were developed in the area. The Putnam Heights Addition, in particular, experienced rapid growth in the 1950s and 1960s and reached full build - out in the 1970s. During this period, new schools and churches were established to serve the growing south side population, and commercial development expanded along Highway 12 and near the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire. Until the 1930s, the land north of Dells Pond was primarily farmland, with a few residences along the river. A public water pumping station and well field were constructed in 1935 and expanded over time. Residential subdivisions were platted in the 1940s and gradually filled in through the 1970s. Background Experience Architectural & Historical Intensive Survey City of Beloit, 2016 Survey Area: 17.4 square miles Resources Documented: 2,247 resources Identified Eligible for NRHP: 2 historic districts 5 complexes 44 individual properties The City of Beloit, situated along the Rock River near the Illinois state line in southern Rock County, encompasses approximately 17.4 square miles and had a population of 36,966 as of 2010. The area was originally home to a Ho-Chunk village in the early 19th century. Following the Black Hawk War in 1832, the site was abandoned and later resettled by European Americans in 1835. Beloit was officially platted in 1840, incorporated as a village in 1846, and became a city in 1856. Beloit’s early economy was driven by industries such as paper milling and farm tool manufacturing, and it is also home to Wisconsin ’s oldest active institution of higher education, Beloit College, founded in 1846. The arrival of railroads in 1853 spurred further industrial growth, commercial development, and population expansion. By the 1870s, Beloit was known as “Iron City” for its steel mills and production of heavy machinery, windmills, engines, and complex tools. Many of the city ’s early foundries eventually evolved into major corporations. The initial population largely consisted of Yankee settlers along with Norwegian, Irish, and German immigrants. Throughout the late 19th century, residential neighborhoods expanded outward from the downtown and industrial riverfront areas. The east side, near the college, became home to larger residences of professionals and civic leaders. In 1902, a streetcar system was established, linking Beloit with an interurban line connecting Janesville, the county seat, and Rockford, Illinois. The early 20th century brought new waves of Italian and Greek immigrants, while local industries recruited significant numbers of African American workers from the South during World War I. During this period, companies also developed worker housing subdivisions near their factories. By 1920, Beloit’s population had reached 21,284. Following World War II, the city experienced a housing boom, with development extending to the city ’s edges through the 1960s. Like many Midwestern industrial cities, however, Beloit ’s population growth and economic expansion slowed in the latter part of the 20th century. Background Experience Architectural & Historical Intensive Survey Manree Park Neighborhood City of Racine, 2015 Survey Area: 0.3 square miles Resources Documented: 184 resources Identified Eligible for NRHP: 1 historic district 5 individual properties The City of Racine, located at the mouth of the Root River on the western shore of Lake Michigan, serves as the county seat of Racine County. Covering approximately 15.5 square miles, Racine had a population of 78,860 as of the 2010 census. The city was permanently settled in 1836, incorporated as a village in 1843, and became one of Wisconsin ’s first cities following statehood in 1848. Racine experienced significant growth throughout the nineteenth century, driven by its role as a milling, industrial, and transportation hub supporting the region’s many farms. The area now known as the Manree Park neighborhood was originally part of the Town of Mount Pleasant, established in 1842, and was comprised of dairy farms owned by the Walker and Reed families. These farms were situated along a former toll plank road, which would later become Washington Avenue, a primary route west out of the city. The early twentieth century brought another period of rapid growth and annexation for Racine. By the 1920s, residential development began along Washington Avenue on the city ’s western edge, extending into the Town of Mount Pleasant. In 1925, the Reed family collaborated with the surveying and development firm L.O. Mann & Son Company to plat a portion of their land as a new subdivision. Named Manree Park —a combination of “Mann” and “Reed”—the neighborhood was developed primarily with single -family homes and was annexed into the city in 1926. Additional portions of the former Walker and Reed farms were gradually developed into new subdivisions and annexed into Racine from the late 1920s through the 1950s, including the Hillcrest Addition. Manree Park emerged as one of Racine ’s premier residential neighborhoods through the mid -1940s, home to many business owners, managers, and professionals. More modest homes were added to the western half of the neighborhood through the 1950s and 1960s. Today, Manree Park remains one of Racine ’s most cherished middle -class neighborhoods, valued for its history, community, and character. Background Experience Architectural & Historical Intensive Survey Village of Allouez, 2013 Survey Area: 4.6 square miles Resources Documented: 797 resources Identified Eligible for NRHP: 3 historic districts 13 individual properties The Village of Allouez is situated on the east bank of the Fox River in Brown County, between the cities of Green Bay and De Pere. Covering 4.6 square miles, Allouez had a population of 13,975 in 2000. The Green Bay area was originally inhabited by the Ho - Chunk, a Sioux -speaking tribe also known as the Winnebago, by the early seventeenth century. In 1671, French Catholic missionary Pere Claude Allouez, the first European settler in the area, established a mission in what is now the City of De Pere. Shortly thereafter, a fur trade route developed along the Fox River, and French traders began claiming land from a trading post near the bay into present-day Allouez. The United States gained control of the region in 1812 and constructed Fort Howard in Green Bay. For a brief period, the fort was temporarily relocated to present -day Allouez, known then as Camp Smith. During this time, traders and settlers established a settlement called Shantytown, which became the primary entry point for new arrivals to the Green Bay area and the site of the first territorial courthouse in the 1820s. The Village of Menomineeville was platted there by 1829. However, development shifted downriver, where three other villages were incorporated as the City of Green Bay in 1854. Menomineeville eventually dissolved, and Allouez remained primarily agricultural. The Town of Allouez was formed in 1874, with limited industrial development along the river. In the late 19th century, institutions such as an orphan asylum, a state reformatory, and the Catholic Diocese of Green Bay established facilities in Allouez. An electric streetcar line was extended from Green Bay to De Pere in 1896, enhancing connectivity. By the 1920s, residential subdivisions began to appear on the town ’s outskirts. To support further growth, Allouez established a municipal water department in 1924. Suburban residential development continued through the mid -20th century. Allouez incorporated as a village in 1985 and has since developed fully, maintaining its status as an upper - middle-class residential suburb of Green Bay. Background Experience Architectural & Historical Intensive Survey Southeast Quadrant of Jefferson County Towns of Cold Spring, Hebron, Palmyra & Sullivan, 2014 Survey Area: 120.9 square miles Resources Documented: 292 resources Identified Eligible for NRHP: 8 farmsteads 15 individual properties The landscape of the Town of Palmyra is shaped by the Rock River, the Scuppernong River, and several small lakes, set against generally flat land with gently rolling hills. The southeastern corner of the town features the distinctive glacial formations of the Kettle Moraine, including kettles, hills, and valleys. As of 2010, the combined population of the town and surrounding areas was 5,215. Before permanent European settlement, the region was home to the Potawatomi people. Jefferson County was surveyed by the federal government for sale and settlement by 1833. Early settlers cleared land for subsistence farming or speculative development. During the late 1830s and 1840s, many small communities emerged in southeast Jefferson County, centered around sawmills, grist mills, hotels, and general stores. Some of these settlements, such as Palmyra, Rome, Sullivan, and Whitewater, were incorporated and grew into small and mid-sized towns. Others, including Cold Spring, Erfurt, Hardscrabble, Hebron, and Sense ’s Mill, remained unincorporated. The county experienced rapid growth in the mid -19th century, with most residents living in family -based farm communities. By 1880, farmland was largely developed, and the industrial expansion of larger towns began to slow. This trend of gradual growth continued into the early 20th century. In the mid -20th century, local school districts were consolidated into those of neighboring municipalities. During this period, the southeastern part of the county began to see exurban residential development, particularly near the new Interstate 94 corridor, as the area became increasingly connected to the Milwaukee - Waukesha metropolitan region. Regional recreational and conservation areas were also established. Today, this part of Jefferson County retains a diverse character, blending small cities, suburban and rural residential areas, agricultural land, and natural and recreational spaces.

As of 2010, the towns in this area had a combined population of 9,802. Before permanent European -American settlement, the region was home to the Potawatomi people. By 1833, the federal government had surveyed Jefferson County for sale and settlement. Early settlers cleared land for subsistence farming or speculative development, and many small communities emerged during the late 1830s and 1840s around sawmills, grist mills, hotels, and general stores. Some of these communities, including Fort Atkinson and Jefferson, eventually incorporated and grew into small cities, while others, such as Busseyville, Helenville, and Oakland Center, remained unincorporated. The mid -19th century brought significant growth to southwest Jefferson County, with most residents living in family-run farms. By 1880, much of the farmland was fully developed, and the industrial growth of larger communities began to slow. The early 20th century saw continued modest growth, including the development of lakefront vacation homes and recreational camps. In the mid -20th century, local school districts were consolidated into those of surrounding incorporated municipalities. Later, southwest Jefferson County experienced exurban residential development as the area became increasingly integrated into the Madison metropolitan region. Today, the area retains a diverse character, combining small cities, suburban and rural residences, natural landscapes, recreational spaces, and active agricultural land.

As of 2010, the towns in this area had a combined population of 5,535. Before permanent European settlement, the region was home to the Potawatomi people. By 1833, Jefferson County had been surveyed by the federal government for sale and settlement. Early settlers cleared the land for subsistence farming or speculative development. During the late 1830s and 1840s, small settlements emerged across northwest Jefferson County around sawmills, grist mills, hotels, and general stores. Some of these communities, including Lake Mills, Johnson Creek, and Waterloo, were incorporated and grew into established villages and small cities, while others, such as Aztalan, Hubbleton, Kroghville, London, and Milford, remained unincorporated. The northwestern portion of Jefferson County experienced rapid growth in the mid -19th century, with most residents living in family farms. By 1880, farmland in the county was largely developed, and the industrial growth of larger communities began to slow, a trend that continued into the early 20th century. In the mid -20th century, local school districts were consolidated into those of surrounding incorporated municipalities. Small -scale suburban, commercial, and recreational development took place outside city limits, particularly along waterways and the I -94 corridor. Today, nearly all educational, religious, commercial, and healthcare services are concentrated within or near the county’s incorporated municipalities, while the unincorporated towns continue to retain a predominantly agricultural and rural residential character. Background Experience Architectural & Historical Intensive Survey City of Burlington, 2012 Survey Area: 7.5 square miles Resources Documented: 506 resources Identified Eligible for NRHP: 2 historic districts 6 historic complexes 48 individual properties The City of Burlington is located along the White and Fox Rivers in western Racine County, encompassing 7.5 square miles and home to a population of 10,464 as of 2010. The city was first permanently settled in 1836 and formally platted in 1839, with early settlers primarily of Yankee, English, and German descent. Nearby, the Mormon settlement of Voree briefly emerged to the west but eventually dissolved. Burlington quickly established itself as the commercial hub of western Racine County, connected to Racine by plank road in 1848 and by railroad in 1855. Incorporated as a village in 1886 to provide public water and fire protection, Burlington experienced significant growth following the construction of the Wisconsin Central Railroad in 1884. This development spurred prominent local industries, including the Burlington Blanket Company, McCanna & Fraser Company, Finke - Uhen Brewing Company, Multiscope & Film Company, Wisconsin Condensed Milk Company, and Burlington Brass Works. The community officially became a city in 1900. The area ’s lakes also attracted visitors from Milwaukee and Chicago, particularly after the Milwaukee Electric Railway & Light Company extended interurban service in 1907. Dairy processing became the region’s leading industry in the 20th century, highlighted by Nestlé ’s relocation of its Midwest district office to Burlington in 1919. By the 1950s, Burlington experienced a decline in manufacturing with the closure of the Nestlé condensed milk plant and Burlington Mills. Nevertheless, the residential population continued to grow. Industrial activity revived in 1966 when Nestlé opened a major chocolate manufacturing facility in the city. While development slowed in the 1990s, growth resumed in the 21st century. Today, Burlington remains the largest commercial and cultural center in western Racine County and has evolved into an exurban community within the greater Milwaukee-Racine-Waukesha metropolitan area.

Box 307 Port Washington, WI 53074 (262) 284-2600 RVandenNoven@cpwwi.org 2022 Intensive Survey: City of Port Washington References Scope of Work Legacy Architecture, Inc. proposes to complete the City of Stoughton Historic Resources Survey in accordance with the requirements of the Request for Proposals and applicable Wisconsin Historical Society and National Register of Historic Places standards. Our scope of work will include the following: 1. Project Initiation and Public Education Legacy will coordinate with the City of Stoughton and Wisconsin Historical Society to initiate the project and establish the project schedule, methodology, and communication procedures. We will conduct one initial public education meeting to introduce the project, the principal investigators, and the survey process to the community. The meeting will provide an opportunity to explain the purpose of the survey, the National Register of Historic Places program, and how the community can contribute information that may assist with the research. 2. Reconnaissance Survey Legacy will conduct a reconnaissance-level survey of the project area, excluding properties already individually listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The field survey will identify and document properties exhibiting architectural, historical, or potential cultural significance. Previously surveyed properties will be reviewed and updated where appropriate to reflect alterations, restoration, additions, or demolition since the previous survey. Properties will be evaluated for their potential individual significance and for their potential contribution to historic districts. Survey mapping will identify surveyed properties by parcel/lot lines and reference the applicable Architecture and History Inventory (AHI) record number. Survey information and mapping will be coordinated with the City and Wisconsin Historical Society. Findings regarding potentially eligible individual properties and historic districts will be coordinated with the Wisconsin Historical Society prior to completion of the survey report. 3. Intensive Survey and Historical Research Legacy will conduct intensive research for properties identified through the reconnaissance survey as potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, as well as properties located within potential National Register historic districts. Research will include review of available historic maps, directories, assessor records, archival materials, historic photographs, local histories, and other appropriate primary and secondary sources. Legacy will enter applicable survey information into the Wisconsin Historic Preservation Database (WHPD). The survey report will include, as appropriate: • Introduction and project purpose; • Survey methodology and project area; • Historical overview of the community and survey area; • Historical themes represented within the survey area; • Architectural development and building types; • Significant architects, designers, engineers, builders, and contractors; • Notable persons and events associated with surveyed properties; • Survey findings and evaluation of potentially significant resources; • Identification and discussion of potential historic districts; and Recommendations for future preservation planning and National Register consideration. Legacy will prepare a draft survey report for review by the City of Stoughton and Wisconsin Historical Society and will incorporate appropriate comments into the final report. 4. Final Survey Documentation and Deliverables Upon completion of the review process, Legacy will prepare the final survey report and associated survey documentation. The City and the Wisconsin Historical Society will receive an electronic PDF version by the project completion date. 5. Final Public Education Meeting Legacy will conduct one final public education meeting with the City of Stoughton and Wisconsin Historical Society to present the survey findings to the community. The presentation will summarize the results of the survey, explain the significance of identified resources and potential historic districts, and provide an overview of the National Register of Historic Places program and potential next steps for preservation planning. Appropriate Fees Project Assumptions and City/Wisconsin Historical Society Coordination Our proposed fee is based on the following assumptions: • The initial public education meeting will be held in conjunction with the commencement of reconnaissance survey fieldwork. • The City of Stoughton will schedule and provide a suitable meeting location for both public meetings and will be responsible for public notices and meeting announcements. • The City will provide available digital mapping in DWG or DXF format, including parcel lines, aerial imagery, and building footprints, to facilitate accurate survey mapping. • The City will provide an Excel spreadsheet of available assessor/property data for properties within the survey area, including property addresses and original construction dates where available. • The Wisconsin Historical Society will provide an Excel spreadsheet or comparable data export of previously surveyed resources with records in the Architecture and History Inventory (AHI), including available AHI record number, address, historic name, current name, year built, historic use, architectural style, wall material, and demolition status. • The City and Wisconsin Historical Society will provide timely review and comments necessary to maintain the project schedule. • Research will be conducted using readily accessible archival, governmental, institutional, and online resources. Extensive original archival research requiring substantial travel outside the Stoughton/ Madison area is not anticipated within this scope. • The scope includes one draft review cycle with the City and Wisconsin Historical Society and incorporation of reasonable comments into the final report. Professional Services Fee Legacy Architecture, Inc. proposes to complete the above scope of professional services for a lump-sum professional services fee of $30,000. This fee includes project coordination, public meetings, reconnaissance survey fieldwork, intensive survey and historical research, survey documentation, WHPD data entry, mapping coordination, preparation and revision of the survey report, final report production, and final presentation of survey findings. Reimbursable expenses, including printing, mileage, shipping, and postage associated with completion of the above scope of work, are included in the $30,000 professional services fee. Appropriate Fees Schedule We expect the survey and report will take approximately 3-4 months.

The Stoughton Intensive Survey will consist of a field survey and review of the status and eligibility of all buildings and structures constructed before 2000 within the municipal boundaries of the City of Stoughton. The project has two components: (1) a reconnaissance-level survey of all pre-2000 built resources within the survey area; and (2) an intensive survey of those properties that may be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. All survey activities will be conducted according to the guidelines in the Wisconsin Historical Society’s Architecture History Survey Manual and in accordance with the Scope of Work provided to the City of Stoughton by the Wisconsin State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). As UWM-CRM is part of a research-based public institution, we do not charge profit on our outside contracts, resulting in the maximum allocation of funding towards project directed research. Moreover, the resources and support staff of our program allow for our projects to be consistently completed on time. Authority The methods and techniques used during the study will follow those standards promulgated in the Secretary of Interior’s Standards and Guidelines for Archeology and Historic Preservation and the Wisconsin Architecture-History Survey Manual. The use of these documents as guides for historic preservation planning is endorsed by the Wisconsin State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO).

The project has two components: (1) a reconnaissance-level survey of all pre-2000 built resources within the survey area; and (2) an intensive survey of those properties that may be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. Reconnaissance Survey Phase The reconnaissance survey phase of the project will begin with a literature search of the Wisconsin Historic Preservation Database (WHPD) for existing records of properties within the survey boundaries. The literature search will be followed by a reconnaissance field survey of all pre-2000 buildings that meet WHS survey criteria. Properties individually listed in the NRHP, or that are contributing resources to NRHP-listed historic districts, will not be resurveyed. Non-contributing resources in historic districts will be resurveyed. UWM-CRM staff will conduct field surveys to visit and photograph each property, as well as to collect location and survey data for each property. Following the reconnaissance survey, UWM-CRM staff will update or create WHPD records, as appropriate, with survey data, updated photo(s), and brief statements of significance for potentially eligible properties. Significance statements will include the area and period of significance, as well as a short statement on the property’s historic and/or architectural importance. Our in-house GIS specialist will produce all required project maps. Draft versions of the mapping will be provided to the City of Stoughton and the SHPO for review and approval before final submittal. In addition, all geospatial data will be made available to the City of Stoughton and SHPO. Intensive Survey Phase The intensive survey phase of the project will consist of site-specific research for each of the potentially eligible properties identified during the reconnaissance survey. Research will evaluate properties for historical significance under Criteria A and B and for architectural significance under Criterion C. The results of the research will be compiled into an intensive survey report following review and approval by the City of Stoughton and the State Historic Preservation Office. Docusign Envelope ID: B30F51D0-E255-8732-8320-E9BEAEA41F6D UWM 2025-0902, Stoughton Intensive Survey August 17, 2026 The intensive survey report will contain the following: a historical overview of the growth and development of the City of Stoughton; historical outlines of various historic themes as identified by SHPO and as represented by properties within the survey limits (i.e., Commerce, Recreation, Industry, etc.); a summary of each architectural style surveyed within the city; a summary of architects and builders identified as working within the city prior to 2000; and a list of potentially eligible properties. The justification for eligibility of each property (applicable criteria, potential period of significance, and summary statement of significance) will also be provided. In addition to the completion of the intensive survey report, UWM-CRM will attend any required informational meetings during the course of the project (including public information meetings at the beginning and end of the project and meetings with the Landmarks Commission), in coordination with the City of Stoughton and/or SHPO staff. UWM-CRM will also prepare monthly progress reports as requested by the City of Stoughton throughout the course of the project and will be available for update meetings as needed. A draft of the intensive survey report will be submitted to the City prior to submittal of the final survey report. UWM-CRM will consult with SHPO staff regarding the eligibility of all properties identified as potentially eligible for NRHP listing prior to completing the survey report. Reporting and Deliverables Deliverables for the project include two major items: (1) the final intensive survey report; and (2) completion of WHPD data entry. UWM-CRM will provide the intensive survey report to the City of Stoughton in both digital and hard copy formats. Following acceptance of the final intensive survey report by the City of Stoughton, UWM-CRM will also provide three color copies of the report (one unbound and two bound) printed on acid-free paper and one digital copy in PDF format to SHPO. UWM-CRM will also provide geospatial data to the City and SHPO. Project Timeline The project timeline is presented below and assumes a notice to proceed by October 30, 2026.
