Designated and Eligible Historic Districts and Structures, Winter, 2013
In the winter of 2013, the Detroit Blight Removal Task Force
commissioned Data Driven Detroit (D3) to serve as the data management partner
on Motor City Mapping, a comprehensive, city-wide data collection effort. As a
part of this project, D3 was tasked with compiling existing information on
historic districts in the City of Detroit, so that the city would be able to
identify all areas and structures of historic significance. D3 compiled this
dataset from a number of different sources, which ranged from existing
shapefiles on the City of Detroit's website to drawing polygons manually based
on descriptions from the Michigan State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). D3
analysts then subjected the data to an extensive manual cleaning process,
removing duplicates and reconciling conflicting boundaries. The resulting
dataset contains boundaries for 656 features, including national, state, and
locally-listed historic districts, as well as proposed/potential and eligible
historic districts. This file is projected in
NAD_1983_HARN_StatePlane_Michigan_South_FIPS_2113_Feet_Intl. Metadata
associated with this file includes field description metadata and
a narrative description of the process involved in creating
this dataset. We look forward to seeing how this data
can be used to inform decisions and conversations around historic preservation
and historic buildings! If you would like to receive a more detailed process document
that contains the step-by-step process of how this dataset was generated,
please use the contact information contained in the above-listed files. For more information on the Motor City Mapping project, please visit www.motorcitymapping.org.
