Abstract

This report presents the findings of an intensive level historical and architectural survey of a highway corridor, approximately 4.5 miles in length, plus wider intersections at six cross streets, along the southern edge of the City of Council Bluffs in Pottawattamie County. The road is locally known as West South Omaha Bridge Road but as a highway route it is also designated Iowa 92 and U.S. 275 (U.S. 275 hereafter). A total of 64 properties, some with multiple individual resources, along this corridor were evaluated for eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places. Of the 64 properties, 15 had at least one principal building that appeared to be 50 years of age or older, while the remaining 49 properties were modem or less than 50 years old. A number of these modern buildings are nearly 50 years old. Three (3) historic properties were determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.
