what is a reconnaissance survey?

Purpose

A reconnaissance survey is the first step towards identifying historic properties and understanding their significance within local, state and/or national historic contexts. The purpose of a reconnaissance survey is to establish basic historic and/or architectural contexts associated with the development and physical character of an area. 

Project

This project will focus on identifying previously undocumented periods and types of resources to better understand the evolution of Wainscott’s built environment up to about fifty years ago, especially the impacts of suburbanization during the early/mid-twentieth century. The final report will include a selected inventory of historic properties accompanied by maps and photographs, as well as historic and/or architectural contexts and recommendations for further study. Recommendations might include potential updates to existing State/National Registers of Historic Places nominations, or Intensive-Level Surveys to seek evaluations of eligibility for the State/National Registers from the State Historic Preservation Office.

People

Wainscott Heritage Project has selected Sarah Kautz Consulting Corp. to conduct the Wainscott Reconnaissance Survey. Ms. Kautz will document properties and develop historic contexts for their significance in accordance with the criteria for the State/National Registers of Historic Places. Essential to the success of this project are public meetings she will conduct: at least two community forums to gather input from local stakeholders and two public meetings to present findings and next steps.

THANK YOU FOR GATHERING WITH US

We are so thankful for our inaugural Little House Award Honorees, Barbara and Dennis D’Andrea, who embody our mission and have supported our efforts from the start. Like us, they saw the Little House as a symbol for Wainscott; they understood better than most what was to come, having witnessed so much change already. Our gratitude is infinite for the D’Andreas! And we thank everyone who came to our Gathering in the Garden to celebrate them and who contributed so greatly to support our mission. 


Our special fundraiser for the Little House raised over $8,000!
