Historic Association
The Buckman Historic Association, an all-volunteer organization, has been working on a National Register Historic District nomination for the Buckman neighborhood since early 2009. The Buckman Historic Association submitted the nomination to the State Historic Preservation Office for a staff review March 1st and it has been determined eligible for National Register listing.
Submittal to the National Park Service was delayed, due to concerns of property owners within the proposed district with high design review fees. The Portland Coalition for Historic Resources (Bosco-Milligan Foundation, AIA/Historic Resources Committee, Irvington, Buckman, Alphabet Districts, and others) have been working with BPS on the Historic Resources Code Improvement Project to make the process for simple projects more streamlined.
At a public outreach meeting in October 2011, Liza Mickle (Portland Bureau of Planning & Sustainability) gave a presentation. The slides from this presentation can be viewed here: http://www.visitahc.org/files/pdf/Buckman_102511_final.pdf.
