Historic Resources Survey of the Gadsden-Lancaster Streets Corridor Chester, South Carolina. Final Report

摘要

The objective of the project was to compile a comprehensive inventory of historic properties in the Gadsden-Lancaster Streets area. The recognition of the historic resources in this area has been a long-term goal of the City of Chester and its Historic Review Commission. The City has an ongoing plan to enhance this corridor, which serves as a gateway to the city of Chester from I-77. The planned improvements include entrance signs, landscaping, lighting, and street and sidewalk enhancements. In addition, if the long-term plans for establishment of an Amtrak route are successful, the passenger depot would be located in the project area. The materials compiled by this survey will serve as a documentary record of the historic resources within the Gadsden-Lancaster Streets area at the time of the survey. This report includes a narrative history of the survey area, an evaluation of the properties recorded during the survey, and an inventory of recorded sites.
