"Our goal in drawing the boundaries was to include as many people as we could without with-out putting in so many non-contributing non-contributing buildings that they would reject the project," said Bennett. "Of the 897 contributing contribut-ing buildings, most of them are single-family homes." The first European structure struc-ture in Springville was a fort built by settlers in the 1850s, he said. Nothing remains of that building, but one original pioneer log cabin structure does remain from that time period. "The earliest homes were log cabins and adobe homes, and there are quite a few well-preserved well-preserved adobe homes that are in the historic district," he AN EDITION OF r ir u Wl I V NEIGHBORS, YOUR NEWSPAPER VOL 1084 MARCH ment to take responsibility in helping our youth succeed in life.

"Adobe continued to be a popular construction material mate-rial until 1891 because people couldn't get wood." Once wood, and later brick, became readily available, avail-able, homes of varying architectural archi-tectural styles were built, he said. To qualify for national historic his-toric status, Bennett and other members of the Springville Historic Preservation Committee Commit-tee spent four years researching research-ing the district's 897 historic structures. That reesearch has been compiled into a 60-page publication that soon will be available to the public at the Springville Library. "It was interesting for me to go through and read the different styles of homes that were here in Springville, Spring-ville, from the log cabins, to the adobe homes, to the Victorian homes, to colonial revival, neoclassical, Spanish colonial, art moderne, prairie school and art deco homes," he said. "There is a lot of pretty significant architecture in this historic area, and we are hoping hop-ing people will work on it and try to preserve it because that . architecture isn't found anymore," any-more," Bennett said the effort to get the district listed on the national registry began after a historic home was torn down to make way for a parking lot. Other historic homes were torn down for apartments, and resi-. dents asked the City Council to change the zoning to allow only single-family homes. Some commercial and other uses are also allowed. The zoning was changed in 2002. "This was really an issue of the whole neighborhood banding together to take back' their neighborhood," he said. Owners of homes more than 50 years old in the his-' toric district may qualify for state and federal tax credits, low-interest loans, small grants and discounts from local lo-cal vendors to help with the cost of restoring, maintaining and improving the buildings, he said.
