Section Number: 10 Page: _J_ Geneva-Minnesota <strong>Historic</strong> District, Medford, OR<br />
VERBAL BOUNDARY DESCRIPTION:<br />
The Geneva-Minnesota District consists <strong>of</strong> the structures lining both sides <strong>of</strong> Geneva Street, in<br />
the city <strong>of</strong> Medford, Oregon, running north from the intersection <strong>of</strong> Geneva and East Main Street<br />
to the the alleyway that parallels and is just north <strong>of</strong> Sherman Street. The district also includes<br />
both sides <strong>of</strong> Minnesota Street running east from Geneva to Crater Lake Avenue as well as the<br />
five resources facing Crater Lake Avenue, and the two facing East Main Street, that along with<br />
the above described area make up the entire plats <strong>of</strong> both the Humphrey-Knight and Humphrey-<br />
Andrews additions to the City <strong>of</strong> Medford as recorded in the Jackson County Surveyors <strong>of</strong>fice.<br />
The District contains all <strong>of</strong> tax lots numbered 12800 to 16500, inclusive, as detailed on Assessor's<br />
plat 37S-1W-30AB.<br />
BOUNDARY JUSTIFICATION:<br />
The boundaries <strong>of</strong> the Geneva-Minnesota District are based upon the geo-political divisions <strong>of</strong> the<br />
city <strong>of</strong> Medford that are defined by the Humphrey-Kinght and Humphrey-Andrews additions.<br />
Properties within the district virtually all share a common development history, ownership pattern<br />
and many are derived from a limited number <strong>of</strong> plans and built by the same contractors. Coupled<br />
with the unifying site improvements that serve to establish the area's character, the Geneva-<br />
Minnesota District has long been recognized as a distinct residential enclave within the larger city<br />
<strong>of</strong> Medford.
