In 2009, Preservation Services and Technology Group (PSATG) conducted an extensive historic architectural survey of the Fairmount Neighborhood in Bristol, TN. The area consisted of over one thousand individual buildings that were constructed from the late nineteenth century and into the 1970s. We used our web-based data entry and information management system to categorize and evaluate the structures, and to create GIS mapping of the neighborhood. We submitted over 500 survey forms to the Tennessee SHPO.

Following the architectural survey we worked to complete a National Register Nomination for the neighborhood. Our involvement in the project allowed us to work with the Director of Community Development and other planning staff at the City of Bristol, as well as local volunteers. Likewise, we conducted public meetings that were well attended and we have worked very closely with the Tennessee State Historic Preservation Office.

The nomination has the widespread support of the community and the funding for the project was provided through grants and an in-kind match from the city. The project totaled over $30,000 and included costs for a training workshop conducted by PSATG for Bristol, TN/VA planning and area merchants. The workshop focused on Historic Zoning.
