Plemons Eakle Historic Site Survey

In 1988, a Historic Site Survey was completed of the Plemons Eakle neighborhood. The information was the basis for the 1992 registration of the neighborhood on the National Register of Historic Places (www.nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com/tx/potter/state.html). The formal registration refers to the “Plemons- Mrs. M. D. Oliver-Eakle Additions Historic District (added 1992 - #92000370), also known as Plemons/Oliver-Eakle Historic District.”

The architectural style of the contributing buildings includes Late 19th and Early 20th Century American Movements, and Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals. The period of significance is listed as 1875-1899, 1900-1924, and 1925-1949.

The Cover and Introduction include acknowledgment of the tireless work of numerous individuals from the city, the county, local museums, community members, and the project team. The work was funded by Preservation Amarillo, Plemons-Eakle Neighborhood Association, Amarillo Historic Preservation Foundation, Don and Sybil Harrington Foundation, and Mary E. Bivins Foundation.

The Acknowledgement page states “The files on individual properties, architects, contractors, builders, community leaders, residents, and associated topics assembled by Lueise Tyson provided an in-depth view of the Plemons-Eakle Neighborhood District and its residents that would not have been possible without her assistance.”
