Model for Identifying and Evaluating the Historic Significance of Post-World War II Housing. National Cooperative Highway Research Program Report 723.

摘要

The document provides state departments of transportation (DOTs) with a model for identifying and evaluating post-World War II (postwar) residences, a national historic context for this type of development, and guidance on developing project-specific historic contexts. This information will enable DOTs and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to effectively and efficiently comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act, setting out a consistent and predictable approach for identifying and evaluating postwar residential resources, thereby reducing costs and ensuring timely project delivery. This report should be of immediate use to DOT cultural preservation staff responsible for identifying and evaluating postwar residential development as part of the DOTs project delivery process. The report, which contains numerous illustrations and photographic examples of postwar housing, will also serve as an important reference document for cultural preservation professionals. Vast numbers of postwar houseslocated in every American city, town.
