Project# 0994.02 Historic Resources Survey, Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant St. Louis, MO, 1998 - 1999

In February 1999, HHM conducted an intensive cultural resources survey and National Register of Historic Places assessment of Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant (NWIRP) St. Louis, Missouri. HHM, following the procedures outlined in the Secretary of the Interior's "Guidelines for Local Surveys: A Basis for Preservation Planning", began this project by conducting an intensive field investigation of all extant resources within the NWIRP St. Louis project area, recording each building's property type, age, and physical characteristics; assessing the overall condition of the resources; plotting resource locations on a map; photographing all resources; and recording detailed information about the physical characteristics and attributes of all resources. HHM then gathered historical data on the development of NWIRP St. Louis from repositories of information both on and off site. HHM completed Missouri SHPO survey forms and support documentation for all recorded NWIRP St. Louis properties. Finally, HHM prepared a report that summarized the project and presented the major findings and recommendations. HHM found that, of the 13 properties surveyed, none were eligible for listing in the NRHP.
