Consultant authorized to survey Overbrook district

The City of Ponca City has hired a consultant to do the Architectural and Historic survey of the Overbrook Historic District. That district is from Seventh Street to 14^th Street on Overbrook.

This survey work will be performed on Thursday of this week. The consultant will be taking pictures of each property along Overbrook, as well as analyzing the composition, style and other historic resource information for each property.

The survey is the first step in declaring homes along the street part of a city historic district, which would include a zoning overlay. The city has two established historic districts – the Gateway neighborhood on North Sixth Street and the Whitworth neighborhood.
