eflect the era of the streetcar suburb and Progressive principles espousing physical solutions for social problems. The district is identifiably significant and retains a high degree of integrity. It is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places as a “City Beautiful” neighborhood and a streetcar suburb. Project Description The Boulevard Park project is a National Register of Historic Places district nomination. The nomination includes a survey of contributing and non-contributing properties, architectural descriptions and property research, photographs of character- defining features of the district, a district map, and a statement explaining the significance of the district within its historic context. The historic context statement is a contemporary approach that responds to critical analysis of historic districts. The nomination combines primary and secondary source research and architectural survey techniques to document the history of the neighborhood from a comprehensive and contemporary perspective. Methodology Nomination of the Boulevard Park Historic District to the National Register of Historic Places began as an internship project undertaken on behalf of the City of Sacramento’s Preservation Department. The first step was a trip to Stockton, California to obtain a set of documents from the University of the Pacific’s archives known as the “Red Binders.” A group called the Historic Boulevard Park Committee (HBPC) gathered this collection of articles, surveys, photos, and copies of primary source material between approximately 1990 and 2002. HBPC members persuaded the Sacramento City Council 2
to hire a consultant to complete a National Register Historic District nomination for Boulevard Park in 2002. The consultant hired was historian Leslie Crow, and HBPC provided their collection of materials to assist her efforts. Crow added to the HBPC materials by archival research, ground survey and photographs of the district. After Crow’s death, the “Red Binders” and notes generated for the district became part of UOP’s archives as part of the Leslie Crow collection. The HBPC generated many documents useful to this project, including lists of building permits and plumbing permits, copies of past survey documents, collected pamphlets, articles and narratives documenting the history of individual houses, and information related to city planning in Sacramento during the era of Boulevard Park’s construction. Some information was less useful, and some was unrelated to the project. After receiving the collection, this writer sorted the documents into a more useful scheme. This scheme organized survey forms, newspaper articles, maps, deeds and covenants, building and plumbing permits, pages copied from history books, house histories and neighborhood histories into individual folders. Documents generated by HBPC and Leslie Crow, including master lists of residents taken from voter rolls and city directories, draft context statements, and notes from meetings regarding the project became part of this folder scheme. As part of internship duties for the city of Sacramento, other documents became available for use in the project. Survey documents and context statements not included in the Red Binders were located in the Preservation Department’s archives as part of a separate project, removing duplicates and sorting preservation records.
