NPS Form 10-900-A OMB Approval No. 1024-0018 (8-86) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section Number: __7_ Page: 46 Geneva-Minnesota Historic District, Medford, OR date of construction and current integrity and ability to relate the districts periods of significance. Resources built during either of the twin development phases of the Geneva-Minnesota District (1911-1914 and 1922-1924) were ranked as "Primary." Historically signfiicant resources built outside of those periods were ranked "Secondary." Resource classfications reflect an approach based upon the following systematic method: Primary Contributing: Resources built between 1911-1914 or 1922-1924 (inclusive) which retain sufficient integrity to their historic period to reflect the period of significance. 25 of the district's 39 resources are so ranked. Secondary Contributing: Resources that were built outside of the two periods of significance which reflect their historic character and contribute to the integrity of the district. 5 of the districts 39 resources, ranging in construction date from 1896 to 1929 are so ranked. HistoricYNon-Contributing in Current Condition: Resources which although built during the periods of significance have been altered in such a way that they no longer reflect their historic character nor contribute to the integrity of the district. 2 of the district's 39 resources are so classified and could potentially, with appropriate restoration, could potentially re-classified as contributing resources. CompatibIe\Non-Historic\Non-Contributing: Non-historic resources that are compatible with the character of district but to not contribute to character of the district. None of the 39 resources within the district is so designated. Non-Compatible\Non-Contributing: Resources tht are either so substantially altered that its historic character is irretreivable or non-historic construction thatn does not conform in scale, materials, or siting to the character of the district. 2 of the district's 39 resources, built 1957-1976, are so designated.

As per the "Guidelines for Counting" of National Register Bulletin 14, none of these structures are of the requiste size and scale for individual resource listing. SUMMARY: The thirty-nine individual resources of the Geneva-Minnesota District, including thirty-eight structures and the unifying Geneva Roadbed, represent a homogenous residential neighborhood that accurately reflects the development history of Medford east of Bear Creek that occurred in the first quarter of the 20th century. Constructed essentially in two phases, the first focused along Geneva Street and employing the Bungalow and Craftsman architectural styles, the second, focused on Minnesota, using the historic period styles popular in the 1920s, the Geneva- Minnesota District as a whole retains high integrity in workmanship, setting, use of materials and overall character. The Geneva-Minnesota District successfully relates its periods of development and the associations for which it is significant, containing one of the best collections of the major residential architecture styles that were employed in Medford during the 1911 and 1923 periods.
