The Bagley-West Vernor Historic District Is Now Listed in the National Register of Historic Places

The Detroit City Council Historic Designation Advisory Board (HDAB) recently announced that the Bagley-West Vernor Historic District is now listed in the National Register of Historic Places!

The district spans much of the commercial core of the city’s popular Mexicantown neighborhood and includes many of the well-known eateries and other landmarks along these two streets. The National Register is America’s official list of places worthy of preservation.

The district is significant in the areas of Hispanic Ethnic Heritage, Social History, and Commerce, and includes contributing resources dating from 1920-1975. Property owners will now be able to take advantage of historic preservation tax credits as they rehabilitate their buildings!

This listing is a part of the Latinx History Project and a product of over three years of work. In addition to the National Register listing, this project also produced a historic context study that dives into the rich history different Latinx communities have contributed to Detroit for over a century.

Listing in the National Register of Historic Place is honorific, meaning there is no formal protection of the buildings against demolition. However, as noted above, National Register status opens the possibility of historic tax credits (state and federal) for property owners on eligible rehabilitations! This listing is also a formal recognition of this history and its importance to Detroit!

The project team extends a huge thank you to the many members of the community who contributed and supported the project including the Michigan State Historic Preservation Office, District 6 Councilmember Gabriela Santiago-Romero, Mexicantown Community Development Corporation, Voces: Southwest Detroit History and the countless others who turned out and showed up for the life of this project! 

This work was supported in part by an Underrepresented Communities Grant from the Historic Preservation Fund administered by the National Park Service, Department of Interior. This material was produced with assistance from the Historic Preservation Fund, administered by the National Park Service, Department of the Interior.

El Distrito Histórico Bagley-West Vernor Ahora Está Incluido en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos

La Junta Asesora de Designación Histórica del Concejo de la Ciudad de Detroit (HDAB, por sus siglas en inglés) anunció recientemente que ¡el Distrito Histórico Bagley-West Vernor ha sido incluido en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos!

El distrito abarca gran parte del núcleo comercial del popular barrio Mexicantown y comprende muchos de los restaurantes y otros lugares emblemáticos a lo largo de estas dos calles. El Registro Nacional es la lista oficial de Estados Unidos de lugares dignos de preservación.

El distrito tiene relevancia en las áreas de Patrimonio Étnico Hispano, Historia Social y Comercio, e incluye recursos contribuyentes que datan de 1920 a 1975. Los propietarios ahora podrán aprovechar créditos fiscales para preservación histórica al rehabilitar sus edificios.

Esta inclusión forma parte del Latinx History Project y es el resultado de más de tres años de trabajo. Además de la inscripción en el Registro Nacional, este proyecto produjo un estudio de contexto histórico que profundiza en la rica historia que diferentes comunidades Latinx han aportado a Detroit durante más de un siglo.

La inscripción en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos tiene un carácter honorífico, lo que significa que no hay protección formal de los edificios contra la demolición. Sin embargo, como se mencionó, el estatus en el Registro Nacional abre la posibilidad de acceder a créditos fiscales históricos (estatales y federales) para los propietarios que realicen rehabilitaciones elegibles. ¡Esta inclusión también es un reconocimiento formal de esta historia y de su importancia para Detroit!

El equipo del proyecto extiende un enorme agradecimiento a los numerosos miembros de la comunidad que contribuyeron y apoyaron este proyecto, incluyendo la Michigan State Historic Preservation Office, la concejala del Distrito 6 Gabriela Santiago-Romero, Mexicantown Community Development Corporation, Voces: Southwest Detroit History, y a los incontables demás que se presentaron y participaron en la vida de este proyecto.

Este trabajo contó con el apoyo parcial de una beca para Comunidades Subrepresentadas del Historic Preservation Fund, administrado por el National Park Service, Department of the Interior. Este material fue producido con asistencia del Historic Preservation Fund, administrado por el National Park Service, Department of the Interior.
