Project Name:
Rawson Circle/Park Neighborhoods: Albany, Dougherty County, Georgia
Project Type:
Historic Resource Survey
PROJECT SUMMARY:
Phase I of a city-wide Historic Resources Survey, which included an inventory of 800 historic resources, collecting data on the age and character-defining features of each resource, and the developmental history of the subject neighborhoods. The survey was partially funded through an annual Historic Preservation Fund grant from the National Park Service and administered by the Georgia Historic Preservation Division. The historic resources, designed landscapes, and majestic oak-lined streetscapes within the project area are reminiscent of Albany’s unprecedented period of suburban growth, and its efforts to promote the beautification of the city; and are characteristic of evolving ideals in residential development and planning throughout the early to mid-20thcentury.
Project Name:
Milan Lodge No. 31
Project Type:
National Register Nomination
PROJECT SUMMARY:
The Milan Masonic Lodge No.31, located in Milan, Ripley County, Indiana was listed on the National Register in January of 2013. History, Incorporated authored the nomination, meeting all standards of the National Park Service. Completed in 1900, the Milan Lodge is the oldest, continuously active Masonic Lodge charter in Ripley County. Since its 1900 construction, it has continuously served as the principal meeting hall for the Masonic chapter and is believed to be the oldest building surviving in the County erected for the purpose of serving as a permanent Lodge Hall. In addition to its unique social history, Milan Lodge No. 31 is an excellent example of modest late-19th to early-20th century Romanesque Revival and Queen Anne-style design, craftsmanship, and construction.

Historic Context and Cultural Resource Report
PROJECT SUMMARY:
History, Incorporated completed a developmental history of the Little Five Points Commercial District in Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia. This research and report were completed in compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966.

The streetscape and surviving architectural resources within the district are indicative of Little Five Point’s development history and unique ties to the historic residential communities of East Atlanta. From the area’s early beginnings as rural farmland, to a residential area of large, Victorian estates, and later becoming the commercial and social center of the region, Little Five Points today serves as a reminder of the unique late-19th to mid-20th century evolution of the city of Atlanta.
