9 INTRODUCTION Hardlines Design Company (HDC) was contracted by C&S Engineers Inc. (C&S) in 2007 to provide history/architecture services in support of the Louisville Regional Airport Authority s Residential Sound Insulation Program. In November 2011, C&S contacted HDC with a list of 30 buildings in the city of Audubon Park in Jefferson County, Kentucky, and requested that HDC determine if the properties had any existing historic status. The properties included 26 single-family dwellings, two apartment buildings, one apartment building converted to condominiums, and one duplex (see Table 1 for a list of all 30 properties). The properties are fairly close to Louisville International Airport and are slated to be part of the Residential Sound Insulation Program. HDC completed research on November 28 30, 2011 and determined that the properties in question are all within the Audubon Park Historic District, which was listed in the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) in Of the 30 properties on the list, 21 are contributing properties in the historic district and four are non-contributing. Five of the properties either have undetermined status in the district s National Register nomination information tables or were not included in the nomination. HDC performed additional analysis on these five properties to determine if they are contributing in the district. Fieldwork on the 30 properties was conducted on December 12, HDC recommends that the 21 contributing properties retain contributing status. HDC also recommends that one non-contributing property be converted to contributing status. Of the five properties of indeterminate status in the nomination, HDC recommends that four of the properties should have contributing status in the district; these properties all date from the period of significance for the district ( ) and have a good level of material integrity. HDC recommends that one of the five properties, a single-family house built in 1994, should have non-contributing status since it dates to the last twenty years. For all of the properties that were recorded as contributing in the nomination or were recommended as contributing as part of this study, HDC surveyed the buildings to determine the presence of original or other historically significant doors and windows. The results of this survey are summarized in Table 1, and the specific data is included as Appendix B. Since significant windows and doors are character-defining features in residential properties in the Audubon Park Historic District, this data will be useful in determining which properties may need to have their sound insulation treatments reviewed per the Section 106 process. The area of potential effects (APE) for this project was designated as the real estate parcels of the properties that are on the residential sound insulation list for the Audubon Park community. 1

15 LITERATURE REVIEW AND PREVIOUS INVESTIGATIONS For the 30 properties identified by the client in Audubon Park, HDC conducted a literature review on November 28 30, 2011, from the HDC offices, using online sources and contacting the Kentucky Heritage Council through phone and . As part of this review, HDC obtained a copy of the 1996 National Register nomination for the Audubon Park Historic District. HDC vetted information in the nomination and investigated the current conditions of the properties by consulting the Jefferson County Auditor s online mapping system and real estate database. The Audubon Park Historic District National Register Nomination (1996) was written by Donna Neary, Kelly Hanna, and Monica Henderson, for the Jefferson County government. The document contained a description and statement of significance, and tables with lists of contributing and non-contributing properties. The district is bounded on the north by Hess Lane, on the west by Preston Street, on the east by Eagle Pass Road, and on the south by the campus of the Audubon Country Club. As nominated in 1996, the district contained 866 contributing properties and 70 non-contributing properties (Neary et al. 1996:7-2). The district was nominated under National Register Criterion A as a middle-class suburban residential development that was developed in connection with the availability of commuter railroads and personal automobiles, both of which allowed people to live in outlying residential communities while commuting into the city. Some important characteristics of the district mentioned in the nomination are builder-designed or architect-designed houses, public green spaces, tree-lined streets, planned development, and a country club and golf course (Neary et al. 1996:7-3). HDC obtained from the Kentucky Heritage Council a more detailed district map than what was in the nomination. The status of some properties was not clear from the nomination tables, and HDC used the Jefferson County Auditor s online mapping system to further investigate any such properties. Overall, HDC determined that the National Register status of 25 of the 30 properties was clear, based on the information in the 1996 nomination as well as additional information gathered from the Kentucky Heritage Council and the Jefferson County Auditor; the status of 5 of the 30 properties was not clear, as follows: 21 properties are contributing to the Audubon Park Historic District: Audubon Parkway Audubon Parkway Audubon Parkway Audubon Parkway Robin Road Robin Road Robin Road Robin Road Robin Road Robin Road Robin Road Robin Road Robin Road Robin Road Robin Road Robin Road Robin Road Robin Road Robin Road Robin Road Robin Road 7

17 HISTORIC CONTEXT Land that is now occupied by the Audubon Park Historic District was originally part of a 1,000-acre land grant accepted in 1773 by William Preston, whose descendants used the land for farming through the late nineteenth century. A 760-acre portion of the farm was sold in 1906 to G. Robert Hunt, who was associated with the Prestonia Land Company, and the first of this land to be developed was a 150-acre area that became the Audubon Park Country Club and Golf Course (Neary et al. 1996: ). In 1912, Hunt formed the Audubon Park Realty Company and began developing the remainder of the land as the Audubon Park residential suburb. The New York development firm Clifford B. Harmon & Company created the layout of the community, which featured tree-lined streets arranged on a grid pattern, plus large public green spaces (Neary et al. 1996: ). The ample tree cover and flowing green spaces emulate the rural estates that were considered highly desirable in the early twentieth century, while the suburb s location close to the city of Louisville and its street railway transportation gave residents easy access to employment, shopping, and entertainment in the city (Neary et al. 1996:8-5). Development in the community was regulated to ensure a fairly uniform visual character that would also resemble a large open park with expansive green spaces. Toward that end, restrictions called for all houses and apartment buildings to be set back 35 to 50 feet from the road, and fences were not allowed in the front yards. Plans and specifications for all buildings, including houses, apartment buildings, and garages, had to be approved by reviewers at Audubon Park Realty (Neary et al. 1996:8-5). Most of the buildings in the district are single-family houses built between 1912 and The houses reflect the wide variety of architectural styles of the early and mid-twentieth century and include examples of the Tudor Revival,, Prairie, Neoclassical Revival, and Craftsman architectural styles. Although most of the properties in the district are single-family houses, six apartment buildings are also located within the district, but they are positioned near the Preston Street entrance to the community (Neary et al. 1996:7-9). Residential construction moved forward in Audubon Park during the early twentieth century but was interrupted when the U.S. Army used 420 acres of the development as the Zachary Taylor Army Camp (also known as Camp Taylor). Residential construction in Audubon Park resumed after World War I when Camp Taylor was closed, and the economic boom of the 1920s spurred a wave of construction of housing for the middle class (Neary et al. 1996:8-6). Although the Great Depression of the 1930s slowed construction of new houses across the United States, some continued to be built in Audubon Park during the 1930s. By 1941, the Audubon Park community contained approximately 400 houses, and the original development plans and community layout continued to be followed as new houses were built in the 1930s and 1940s. In the late 1940s, additional houses were built as soldiers returned 9

18 from World War II, and by 1950, Audubon Park held approximately 550 houses. The Audubon Park Realty Company was dissolved in 1947, since at that point all of the residential lots of the community had been sold ((Neary et al. 1996:8-10). 10

19 ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Overview HDC conducted fieldwork on the 30 survey properties on December 12, The HDC survey team reviewed the status of each property in the Audubon Park Historic District nomination and then reviewed maps and files from the Jefferson County Auditor and one map from the Kentucky Heritage Council for additional information on the properties. Fieldwork included taking notes on the overall integrity of each property as well as on the status and condition of the windows and doors on each residential building. The survey team also took at least two high-quality digital photographs of each of the properties, provided in Appendix A. See Figure 3 for an aerial photograph of the project area with the status of the 30 properties color-coded according to the survey results. The 30 properties are discussed in the following three sections, based on their status in the National Register nomination for the Audubon Park Historic District: Properties with contributing status (21) Properties with non-contributing status (4) Properties with unclear status (5) 11

21 Properties with Status Of the 30 buildings on the list, 21 properties were listed in the National Register as contributing properties in the Audubon Park Historic District (see Table 2). HDC reviewed Jefferson County Auditor real estate information and examined each property during fieldwork to gain additional understanding of the character of the properties. All of these 21 properties still have a good level of integrity for the district s period of significance (see Appendix A for photographs). Figure 4 and Figure 5 are photographs of representative contributing properties.

23 Properties with Non- Status Of the 30 buildings on the list, 4 properties were recorded in the National Register nomination as non-contributing in the Audubon Park Historic District: 3223, 3227, 3300, and 3302 Robin Road (see Table 3). Specific reasons for the non-contributing status of each property are not given in the nomination. Three of the properties are houses that were built after the 1945 closing year of the period of significance for the district and are not compatible in architectural style with the pre development in the district: 3223 Robin Road, a ranch house built in 1954; 3300 Robin Road, a 1966 apartment building; and 3302 Robin Road, a split-level house built in These three properties do not reflect the character of the pre-1945 architecture of Audubon Park, and non-contributing status for these properties therefore appears to be appropriate. The fourth non-contributing property, 3227 Robin Road (Figure 6), is a brick Craftsman bungalow. It is not clear why this property was given non-contributing status in the nomination. The property s construction date in the nomination was mistakenly given as ca. 1965, so it is possible that the surveyors misidentified it as a post-1945 intrusion to the district. The Jefferson County Auditor s construction date for this property is 1920, which is a much more plausible date than ca. 1965, considering that this house is an example of a Craftsman bungalow, a style that was common in the 1920s but no longer in favor by the mid-1960s. HDC recommends that this house has a high level of integrity and clearly dates to within the period of significance for the district. HDC recommends that the property at 3227 Robin Road should have contributing status in the Audubon Park Historic District. Figure Robin Road (recommended as contributing) 15

25 Properties with Unclear Status Of the 30 buildings on the list, five properties were not given clear district status in the 1996 National Register nomination for Audubon Park: 3215 Robin Road, a house of fairly recent construction 900 Audubon Parkway, a pre-1945 apartment building 908 Audubon Parkway, a pre-1945 apartment building 915 Audubon Parkway, a pre-1945 single-family house 3320 Robin Road, a pre-1945 single-family house Recommendations for how to treat these four properties are included below and summarized in Table 4. Four of the properties have sufficient integrity to be contributing to the Audubon Park Historic District, and HDC recommends them for contributing status in the district: 900 Audubon Parkway, 908 Audubon Parkway, 915 Audubon Parkway, and 3320 Robin Road. The fifth property, 3215 Robin Road, is a post-1990 intrusion and is recommended as noncontributing because of its late construction date. Table 4.

26 900 Audubon Parkway (recommended as contributing) The property at 900 Audubon Parkway is a U-shaped apartment building that has been converted to condominiums. The National Register district nomination gives a construction date of ca for this property but does not give the property contributing or noncontributing status in the information tables in Section 7 of the nomination. The Jefferson County Auditor gives a construction date of 1938 for this building, which is a typical twostory brick apartment building with arched openings and a flat roofline with a brick parapet. The building has new windows but original doors, and it has retained its original form and massing, as well as parapets and other significant exterior architectural details. HDC finds that the property is appropriate for contributing status in the district, and the role of multifamily apartment buildings is mentioned in the nomination. HDC recommends that this property is contributing to the Audubon Park Historic District. Figure Audubon Parkway, view of courtyard 18

27 908 Audubon Parkway (recommended as contributing) Like 900 Audubon Parkway, the apartment building at 908 Audubon Parkway was not given contributing or non-contributing status in the nomination s information tables. The construction date in the nomination form is ca. 1926, and the apartment building is a stuccoclad two-story facility with Mission and Craftsman features. The Jefferson County Auditor has a construction date for the apartment building of 1915, which is plausible considering the character of the building. The building also has original windows, original doors, and original parapets with clay tile caps, as well as other original exterior details. In general, this property has a high level of integrity and dates from the period of significance for the district, so HDC recommends it as contributing to the Audubon Park Historic District. Figure Audubon Parkway 19

28 915 Audubon Parkway (recommended as contributing) Two single-family houses in the district do not have any status recorded in the National Register nomination for Audubon Park, one of which is at 915 Audubon Parkway. No survey information is given in the National Register nomination for this property other than a construction date of ca The dwelling is a gable-front brick Tudor Revival building, and the Jefferson County Auditor gives it a construction date of The building has a large two-story addition at the rear, but the appearance of the front of the building is consistent with the architectural character and patterns of scale and setback for the Audubon Park Historic District. The house has a good overall level of integrity and HDC recommends that this dwelling should have contributing status in the Audubon Park Historic District. Figure Audubon Parkway 20

29 3215 Robin Road (post-1990 intrusion, recommended non-contributing) The house at 3215 Robin Road is not given any status in the 1996 National Register nomination for the Audubon Park Historic District. The Jefferson County Auditor gives a construction date of 1994 for the house, and the physical character of the house is consistent with a construction date in the 1990s. Due to the very late construction date of this house, it is recommended for non-contributing status in the district since it was constructed well after the 1945 close of the period of significance of the district. Figure Robin Road (Jefferson County Auditor photo) 21

30 3320 Robin Road (recommended as contributing) The second single-family residence of unclear status is at 3320 Robin Road. This house was not included in the Audubon Park Historic District nomination of The house is a oneand-a-half-story facility with a red brick exterior, and is an example of the Minimal Traditional architectural style. The Jefferson County Auditor lists a construction date of 1940 for the house, and the building is consistent in style, materials, setback, and massing with other pre-1945 houses in the Audubon Park Historic District. The house has replacement windows but has its original wood front door, and original window opening sizes and shapes have been retained. The house has retained its original form, scale, and proportions, and HDC recommends that it has sufficient integrity to have contributing status in the Audubon Park Historic District.
