Info

* Identify appropriate regulatory measures to protect identified historic resources. These may include special review of proposed changes, development standards, tax concessions and other measures. To identify potentially significant historic properties withinthe City and Borough ofJuneau, the Department of Community Development, in 1984, prepared a strategy for its work in historic preservation. Goals and priorities were formulated which identified a number of future tasks to be pursued. In 1988, the department revised its strategy, reviewed its accomplishments and identified new tasks for the next four years. The goal for the historic preservation program remained the same: The Department of Community Development will gather information on the historical development of the Juneau area. This resource base will serve as an aid in long-range planning for growth and development in the City and Borough of Juneau. One of the priorities identified was the need for recognition and survey of potential historic districts. As a means of identifying areas for study and for devising better strategies for management, the department developed its historic neighborhood. concept. Areas of potential significance are identified which can be described as cohesive architectural and/or historical entities. Boundaries are based on geography, topography, historic uses, and resource types. These areas are surveyed and the information collected through these surveys identifies districts of historic and/or architectural significance which, when placed in regional and community contexts, allows for planning in areas relating to .the preservation ofthese cultural resources. Specifically, these surveys allow the Community Development Department to identify architectural and/or historic districts which are eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places.

Description of Survey Area In order to pursue this goal, the city applied for and, in 1991, received a Certified Local Government Grant to do a survey of the historic Chicken Ridge residential area of Juneau. All properties were surveyed within the designated area. The survey area encompasses Basin Road, Seventh Street, Gold Belt Addition, Dixon Street, and parts of Calhoun Avenue. This specific area was chosen because it is a clearly recognizable neighborhood which comprises. a cohesive architectural and historical entity. Survey Methodology The individual properties located within the Chicken Ridge district were part of a lengthy documentation process. The search for information included research in the Tax Assessor's office, local newspapers, Alaska State Archivesand Records Office, Alaska Historical Library, oral history interviews, study of historic photos, and architectural survey and photographic recordation of each property. Survey forms were developed which include information needed to complete Alaska Heritage Resources Survey (AHRS) forms and include a physical description of the building, changes over time, .history of the building. and its uses, and an analysis of the significance of the property. This survey report focuses on the historic preservation related issues of contextual analysis and architectural and historic significance judgements based on those established contexts. All extant properties were .identified and surveyed. The significance judgements were formulated after individual properties and the neighborhood as a whole were analyzed based on historic and present physical appearances. Goals and Priorities of the Survey The goal of the Office of Community Development is to identify areas worthy of recognition in Juneau. In conducting the survey of Chicken Ridge, and indeed in all of its preservation related activities, the Community Development Department wishes to engender community awareness and pride in one ofJuneau's most important historic and architectural resources. Inaddition, the Department has as one of its major priorities, the establishment of Chicken Ridge as a District to be placed on the National Register. This survey is an important step in that direction. 4
