Undertaken as part of the Iowa City, Iowa, North Side Neighborhood Preservation Study, this inventory of historical and architecturally significant structures in the north side area reviews the various architectural styles identified in the neighborhood (i.e., Greek Revival, Italianate, Gothic, Queen Anne, Victorian, Georgian Revival) and catalogues, block - by - block, nearly 80 structures. As one component of a comprehensive planning study of the north side, the historic survey is intended to serve two major purposes: to document some of the many social and physical resources that make the community an important and worthwhile segment of Iowa City, and to integrate a concern for historic preservation with a general interest in neighborhood protection. In addition to sketches of the selected architectural styles identified in the north side neighborhood, fact sheets are provided on each structure, indicating its address, present use, present owner, date of construction, building type and material, architectural style, condition, importance to the neighborhood, notable features of the building and site, original owner, original use, and historical signficance. The north side area dates from the 1830's, when immigrants from Ireland, Germany, Scotland, and elsewhere settled in Iowa, and it is recommended that some kind of additional incentive to retain the identified structures be created, possibly in the form of an historical district or districts. Iowa has enacted legislation which describes the process by which such districts may be established. References are included.
