The National Register application for the proposed Stokesdale Historic
District has been completed. The National Register of Historic Places is the
Nation’s official list of structures worthy of preservation. The proposed
historic district includes areas around Fayetteville, Dunbar, Dunstan,
Price, Merrick, Lincoln and Umstead Streets. A map of the proposed historic
district is enclosed and flyer for posting information. The historic
district is scheduled to be reviewed by the North Carolina National Register
Advisory Committee in Raleigh on Thursday, October 14. *If approved the
Stokesdale Historic District will be the first African American historic
district in Durham to be on the National Register of Historic Places!*



Preservation Durham would like to invite you to an information meeting at
7:00 pm on Tuesday, September 21, 2010, at the Stanford L. Warren library
meeting room, 1201 Fayetteville Street in Durham.  Please pass this notice
along to members of your community.  Heather Wagner, a historic preservation
consultant and owner of HMWPreservation, prepared the nomination, and she
will make a presentation about the history and architecture of the district.
Ann Swallow with the State Historic Preservation Office will speak about
what it means to be listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the
application process, and the state and federal income tax credits available
to assist with the rehabilitation of the significant historic buildings in
the district.
