A large area of Deep Ellum has been added to the Nation Register of Historic Places, and a ceremonial uncovering of a plaque designating it as such will take place at the end of September.
The Deep Ellum Foundation proudly announced in July that the Dallas neighborhood had received the federal designation for a little over 110 acres containing 213 buildings. Several blocks of Deep Ellum viewed as less historically significant are excluded from the Historic District.
On September 29, a ceremonial unveiling of a plaque declaring the area a National Register of Historic Places location will take place outside the Kimpton Pittman Hotel on Elm Street, in what used to be the Knights of Pythias Temple. According to the Deep Ellum Foundation’s executive director, Stephanie Keller Hudiburg, stakeholders, federal, state, and county and city officials will be holding a private reception following the plaque’s unveiling.
The National Register of Historic Places has 3,400 listing in Texas and is engaged in supporting private and public efforts to protect the country’s historic and archeological resources. Historic monuments within a city are often celebrated through the use of plaques, the likes of which can be commissioned from local Print shops.
Among the advantages of being on the historic lists are that it permits access to grant funds and technical expertise for preservation and restoration projects. Moreover, the area may also be afforded some level of protection from the effects of federally funded projects. Get a Free Quote for Print
