[Neighbors] Historic Survey of Neighborhood; Results to be Presented Tuesday

[Gary Eyster]

Last February Nob Hill Neighborhood Association hosted a meeting with Steven
Moffson of the New Mexico Historic Preservation Division who assigned a real
world survey of parts of Nob Hill to students in his class at UNM School of
Architecture and Planning. As reported in the recent Neighborhood
Association Newsletter Steven will present results to the community this
Tuesday evening via Zoom. 

 

This will be of particular interest to homeowners in the 1945 Broadmoor and
1925 Granada Heights additions of Nob Hill as they have been found to
qualify for listing as historic districts in the NM Register of Cultural
Places. 1916 University Heights may qualify but needs additional work due to
its size. Locate the additions at

Steven notes that listing is "all carrot and no stick". It is an honor
denoting that a district has been professionally evaluated and found worthy
of preservation. It does not impose any new restrictions on what owners do
with their property inside or out. Property owners who learn the value of an
area's historic character are often inspired to be good stewards,
maintaining the architectural principles of the original development,
particularly on the outside of the home, but that remains voluntary.  

Owners of most properties in a listed district can claim 50% New Mexico tax
credits for qualifying, pre-approved work and can purchase a plaque noting
their house's contribution to the district. See more at
